I would be very grateful if anyone could help me as I am hoping I have not lost all my contacts and data.

I have an MDA compact which addmitedley I have dropped a few times in the past 8 months, but luckily for me it has always worked fine after. That is until this morning, for some reason it has just died. The battery won't charge the phone will not power up. I have cleaned the battery connectors thinking it might be a battery issue but still nothing. :cry:


This after noon I took a visit to my local T-mobile store and upgraded my mobile to the MDA Compact 2. The problem is that when transferring the sim I remebered a few weeks back having a little clearn up and copying my contacts to the phones memory and deleting all data on my sim, stupid me I forgot to copy it back again. So now I have a dead compact that I am trying to retrieve data from to copy to my new compact 2.
I have tried using the new battery from my new compact on the old , but still no power, and it turns out that the old battery is working fine.

If anyone knows how I might be able to access the bulit in memory of my old compact I would be very, very gratful. I am more than willing to take the phone apart to achieve it.

Thanks for any ones time.

Chuck

Did you ever sync your unit with Outlook? Maybe someone with very special electronic equipment and knowhow could help you out.
