Hi guys,
I'm turning to you first because, well, between all of you, we know everything!
I dug my Dell Axim X5 out of the drawer the other day because I finally have a job again where I have to keep up with myself!
However, I've noticed the last few days that the the device battery is draining itself overnight. Usually it would power up in the cradle while sitting on the desk during the day, I'd pull it out and take it home and let it sit in my bag overnight.
Every morning the battery is depleted. At first I thought maybe the power was getting turned on accidently, but last night I left the device lying on my home desk - it was already down to 87% (at 8pm) power from 100% when I'd left work. This morning is was empty.
Do you think it's just a battery issue and replacing that will solve it? I'm beginning to wonder if the device on/off switch isn't working properly because I also have to soft reset just to turn it on! It appears to turn off properly using the power switch, but I can't get it turned back on that way.
Any ideas out there? Can this PDA be saved?
Thanks,
Pam
