Oh my. my H/PC's down...

Hi. just a few days ago, I was tweaking around my server use NTT Docomo Sigmarion. I was increasing the storage memory space, when all of a sudden the screen became black! I was running a server on this machine for pocketpc.stingraze.net until Tuesday!! Does anyone know how to remedy this? I tried hard resetting, but no luck. Is there a possible remedy to a situation like this?

Wow. Did it get a shock or something? Sometimes the best thing to do in these kind of situations is just to leave it alone for a few days, in an open, airy place just to clear it of anything. Anything that you thing might have led to this? (water, shock, overclocking?)

Nope. No Hardware tweaking at all. Well, it just went black after I reduced the memory for running the OS.... (but they limit it to 16MB so I don't know why). Well another thing, I dropped it about 30cm... (but is it that weak?) Now, the site's running on the Geocities server... (somebody help...

Well, it may not be built like my 720, which has been thrown 5 feet (twice) dropped onto a cement floor (a scratch on the cover to remind me to wear sweatshirts with pockets!) And another drop somewhere else that I don't remember. Since its screen is loose, it may go blank soon too. (In which I will remove myself from this forum in disgust of breaking another hpc)

Anyways, it just be broken dude. Play around with it, because your problem is so strange...

stingraze,

Has the backlight gone in the LCD? If you get a torch and shine it at an angle into the display, can you still see anything?

i think the whole screen's bad... doesn't work with the light. When I put my ear close to the speaker down below, I can hear some noise, so prolly it's not 100% dead...

The CPU will naturally emit EMI which you can hear. Alas it doesn't mean that it is working, just that it is getting power.

Perhaps you can pop it open and see if there are any loose wires?

Mine has the similar problem.

My Jornada 710's display has gone, but its screen still seems to work.

Even though i can't see anything in the daylight,

I was able to see something from the 45 degrees above in a room light at night.

I think my problem is only the backlight has gone.

Is there anyone can fix this problem?

Happy New Years!

Actually, I had this kind of problem a year ago.

But I could fix it by just leaving it for a week.

At this time, I may also try that remedy, but I'm not sure how it works.
