xda II keeps shutting down ..long story

[16vmini]

ok , bought a broken xda II fr 40 quid , the bottom connector had come off the mother board . Got a friend to solder it back on (he knows what he is doing).

great i thought .. plugged in the usb cable to the PC , power later came on .. great charging ...

but windows kept moaning that 'usb device not recognized'
installed active sync 3.7 , then 3.8 then 4.1 , (after unistalling old ones) but still no joy same error..

so i thought sod it .. lets try upgrading to 2005 ... obviouslly the upgrade program said it could not find the pda (as the usb is not working)

so i thought fair enough .. then the pda is dead now ? well sort of..

if i remove the battery for about 10 minutes .. when i put the battery back in it fires up with the install setup .. i get near the end of the install and it shuts down ??? and i cant power it up again , soft/hard reset does nothing .. i have to remove the battery and wait....

seems like it shuts down in the same place all the time ??

any ideas .. as i am not having a good day .. and this is just one item that is not working :oops:

cheers

2last:
I'v got same problem on my imate PocketPC. And solution is to REPAIR (to replace or to resold) the connector (if error 'usb device not recognized' appears). Second, i had problems with charging-control chip. to get your device back try to replace this chip.

ps sorry for my wrose English.

My bottom connector is broken as well, Tried to solder but that did not work. I now removed it and can charge the battery in the cradle, get a hard reset , but I have loaded the device with 2005, so I get a useable device. for some reason my bluetooth sync does not work, so I am more or less stuck with the same problem as you are. On the backside, behind the battery cover, the connector for the backpack is present. This seems to use the same pins as the bottom connecor. Sofar I have not found a cable to use this connector as a means to charge and sync the device, so still no progress.
