iPAQ 310 won't shut down
Hi,
I have been doing a lot of playing with my iPAQ 310 and SeeYou Mobile for PNA. Somehow the unit is now in a mode in which I can't turn it off so that it stays off while connected to the wall charger. Every time I turn it off it turns itself right back on. If I disconnect it from the wall charger I can turn it off and it stays off. I want to be able to charge the unit with the unit turned off - to preserve the life of the backlight as much as possible. I don't think the unit did this when it was new. I have a customer's iPAQ 310 in hand and it will stay off while connected to a wall charger. I must have adjusted some power setting, but I can't seem to figure it out. The only thing I've installed is the screen rotate driver and SeeYou Mobile on the SD card. The issue occurs regardless of whether the unit is in SeeYou Mobile / WinCE mode, or the street navigation mode. I have rebooted the unit several times (soft reset) but I don't think there is any way to do a hard reset. I tried removing the main battery for a few seconds while the unit was turned on an that didn't help,. Does anyone have any suggestions? My next thing to try is to take the main battery out and leave it out overnight. Best Regards, Paul Remde |

iPAQ 310 won't shut down
Hi Paul,
if you like, try the following: Press the wheel , push the reset button, you will see the RUU MODE screen but do not release the wheel, keep the wheel pressed for at least ten seconds until the engineering mode comes up. Use extreme caution, you can brick the device by selecting the wrong entry. Select menu item #10. I don't know if this is a "hard reset" but it will rebuild the registry which maybe is close enough. By the way, I use a dedicated stand alone trickle charger that I think gives me a longer battery life, HP part # HSTNH-F02G. I got it from http://fixyourpda.com/ and an extra HP310 as well. One of the best online transactions I have had.

Paul-
I have had geat success turning off almost all electronic devices through the application of percussive maintenance. Simply accelerate your electronic device towards a somewhat higher mass than the device itself and allow deceleration to reset the aforesaid device to an inert state. Rebooting may be troublesome after the application of this method. Do not neglect gathering all of the subsets of the device and repositioning them properly before attempting a reboot. Mark M. |

iPAQ 310 won't shut down
I recently had a problem with my IPAQ 3950 rebooting itself at random
intervals, and thus losing my XCSoar installation. Online searches suggested this might be because of battery failure, so I installed a new battery (equivalent of US$15 via eBay). It's working fine now. Worth trying? Paul Remde wrote: Hi, I have been doing a lot of playing with my iPAQ 310 and SeeYou Mobile for PNA.

iPAQ 310 won't shut down
Hi,
Thanks for the tips everyone. It is working fine now. I'm not sure if the fix was from leaving the battery out of the unit overnight, or from selecting "Suspend" from the start menu. I can now turn it on and off using the on/off button and it stays off even while connected to the wall charger. Best Regards, Paul Remde "Paul Remde" wrote in message ...

iPAQ 310 won't shut down
Hi,
This is the most strange thing I've seen with a PDA or PNA. The unit is again in the mode where it can't be shut off. It does shut off, but turns back on all by itself about 3 seconds after it is turned off. This occurs only when connected to the unit's wall charger. In my note below I stated that the solution to the problem could have been using the "Suspend" option from the start menu. That does not work, so I must assume that the solution was leaving the battery out of the unit overnight without it being connected to external power. I'll try that again after I go soaring tomorrow. Has anyone else seen this? Best Regards, Paul Remde "Paul Remde" wrote in message ... Hi, Thanks for the tips everyone. It is working fine now.

iPAQ 310 won't shut down
I have reprogrammed the backlight system for HP310/2/4/6 in the XCSoar
package I am supporting. So I know how it works, since I can control the beast automatically. I think that for some reason you have spoiled the registry of Windows CE. The question is: does the automatic switch on occurs also when you are running the native Oasis car navigation software? I mean you start the device in car navigation mode, plug it in for charging, and then press the key to switch it off. What software have you run that potentially could have caused this problem? Do you have any software for flying that attempts to set backlight or power system? I warn people: there is NO standard way of managing backlight on windows ce, so either the programmers have done it correctly for the 310 PNA or they may have simply spoiled your registry and results are unpredictable. paolo "Paul Remde" ha scritto nel messaggio ...
