The Well Washed Himalaya

[GrayWhale]

During an attack of temporary stupidity, I managed to run my Himalaya through the washing machine (permanent press cycle). :oops:
After opening it up, drying it out for a few days and recharging the battery, I was pleased to see signs of life. :o
My problem now is that hard resets every minute or so in the cradle and dies completely when removed. :roll:
Any suggestions?
A new battery perhaps?
Or a brain transplant?

Yikes!!! :shock:

It would have been great to capture your "Kodak precious moment" for all of us to see!!! :wink:

Anyhow, I would suspect that the main battery fried and need replacement. The problem is that the backup internal battery is soldered on the motherboard and I bet it also fried. But I would start with the main battery. Try to find a replacement battery or at least try to go to a nearby T-Mobile store (or similar) and ask permission to use one of their batteries before you purchase one. :wink:

Good Luck!

P.S.- Don't get me wrong, but If you happen to loose your toy to this tragedy, I would be pleased to purchase the housing from you (mine is badly scratched) if you like to do so.. :lol:

Hi GrayWhale,
You need to talk to Tanvir. After his XDA 2 went for a swim, He managed to get his XDA 2 working all the way up to the alignment screen and cant get past it. I suggested he put it in test mode under the boot mode and see if the factory benchmark test might help.
I hope you get it back to working O.K. good luck with it friend. :o
