My 3-year old iPAQ 2210 has developed a very annoying intermittent fault. It sometimes stops recognising any SD card. After a week in that state, on return from hols I called HP and was delighted that the advice I received (from their Support centre in India) to blow into the compartment immediately restored recognition!
However ... in the 2 days since, the problem has reoccurred 4 or 5 times. :(
Using a pressurised air-spray I've managed with increasing difficulty to recover each time. But surely a bit of dust can no longer be regarded as the root cause? After 3 years it's bound to have accumulated some, of course, but I've given it such a blasting that I'd now expect a good long run before any similar problems. Yet it's re-occurring every few hours.
Anyone else had similar problems, or can offer any thoughts please?
