Problems With Some Devices Needing A Soft Reset To Turn On?
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
There have been several posts in various forums about Windows Mobile 5 devices needing a soft reset to turn on. I know this isn't a WM5 issue in particular because it isn't all devices. Neither my K-Jam or JasJar have this problem. I have heard it reported about some Dell and HP devices though. Have you experienced this?
If you are having issues, reply in the forum with your make and model number, and if you have witnessed this on a freshly hard reset device to eliminate the possibility of a third party driver causing this. For example, my iPaq 2210 did this back in 2003 when I had installed the 2002 compatible ThinkOutside keyboard driver. Uninstalling the driver fixed it and within a month or so, ThinkOutside had updated their software.
One other possibilty mentioned is the storage card. Try removing that if you have one and see if that resolves the issue.
