My old iPAQ 3765 has failed to hard reset. It had hungup on fulfilling a task from outlook and i did a hard reset (via the reset inset button on the bottom of the unit) and it comes back up to the red and white Compaq iPAQ screen and displays 2.14 followed by P 1.07 (also J0.90 when the expansion pack is plugged in)but then goes no further...

I have take it out of the cradle and plugged it in directly and its showing that its taking a charge, but even when the charge tops off, it wont boot past the startup screen...

Its never had any major problems before this...

Any ideas on what is happening?

Well I solved the issue... sort of...

To get the unit to boot past the Compaq startup screen I had to hold the hard reset button for 120 seconds. Once I did that (and I tried many different lengths of time prior to this success) I completely reset the unit back to its original default settings...

So now I have lost all my programs and data, but regained the use of my 3765... Tough tradeoff... but what the heck... Its better then the alternative...
