Hi

I am having a problem with my Wizard. This weekend i was taken by surprise by a downpour and my phone somehow got wet. At first it didn't seem like a big deal, everything seemed to work just fine but on monday when i got back to the office and tryied to sync my phone i've noticed the problem.
The thing is that it can't get an ip, the connection (usb) reports limited or no connectivity and can't get an IP thus, can't sync. The phone runs ok, i can get it charged;
Can anyone help?

I dont think so that its because of it getting wet, it might be a problem with your ROM or PC but still wait for advice by someother Senior member too.

There are two main possibilities:

1) If your computer can't seem to connect to the device via USB (it won't show up in the Device Manager, and may trigger an malfunctioning device error), it's possible the water short-circuited your onboard USB controller. This might render a data connection via USB to the host computer impossible while still allowing the device to charge off the Slave voltage pins.

2) If you can connect to your wizard and the device (if, for example, it shows up in the Device Manager), that means that serial communications are working just fine, as, if your computer was able to interpret the USB Device ID, your onboard USB controller is most likely not damaged. In this case, I'd probably try screwing with your ActiveSync settings, and focus on undoing anything you've changed recently, like USB drivers on the host computer or ROM on the device.
