Ipaq 3630 Repair

#1 (**permalink**) 15-04-2004, 12:10 PM

Hi,

I've just been given an ipac 3630 off my uncle but it doesn't work properly and I was wondering what I need to repair it.

The unit powers up, but just displays lines on the screens .. I don't want to send it off somewhere, I'd rather fix the problem myself.

Would anyone be able to suggest what the problem could be??

Regards,

M3ckon

It is either a faulty screen or a corrupt ROM.
If its the screen you might be able to locate someone that sells replacements.
If its a corrupt ROM there isnt much chance of fixing as you would need to have a display on the screen to allow you to program a new one.

Sounds like the battery is flat.

Have you tried recharging the battery ?

If it happened during the ROM upgrade then it will have corrupted the ROM chip and will be beyond DIY repair.

Contact them via their website and see as I'm not sure what their repair charges are or whether they could fix it.
