i turned the pc off while the fone was charging, when i turned it back on next day it did a complete hard reset!!!

i tried this again and when i turned the pc off the fone went completely off it did not turn on. when i switched pc on the fone came on this time with soft reset probably because i turned it on after a few seconds.

i tried to restore but it said it cant because its from a different type of device!! wtf?

has anyone experienced this before?

A main cause of ActiveSync reporting that it's a different device is when your Regional Settings are set different to what they were when you took the backup.

I answered you 6 minutes after your post. Check the forum more often ;-)

Dead battery? Would make sense. All data would have been lost (including device ID, which is why activesync sees a new device) and the phone's won't turn on unless PC is on.
