My TG is really messed up please help me!

[yOyOYoo]

Ok so I got my new Belkin Sharkfin Bluetooth Adapter and i've been messing around with the settings all day.

All of a sudden my Clie needs to reset so I reset it and then it hangs on the PALM logo

all subsequent resets hang on the palm logo also.

When I do a warm reset, under preferences, when I click on Bluetooth, it gives me "Bluetooth Failure. Missing Bluetooth components. Please re-install software"

Okay I dont know how to reinstall software

After warm resetting, I cannot run any applications as I get a FATAL Alert every time. "MemoryMgr.c, Line: 3649, Nil Ptr"

I've even resorted to Hard Resetting but I still get the same problems afterwards. What is corrupted? After hard resetting, and restoring all defaults, the CLIE asks to reset and when I reset, there it goes, it hangs on the PALM logo again.

The crash happened with Netfront I believe, and now in my palm desktop application, I have two copies of Netfront. I can't seem to run Powerrun or the standard delete option as I get the fatal alert: "MemoryMgr.c,Line:3571, Non-word-alighned handle" when I try to scroll down

Please help me I have no idea what to do? This is the first time I have been in a situation like this...

Do You have a Memory stick Backup

[yOyOYoo]

I don't have a memory stick backup.... I shoulda have man I feel so stupid! I really have no clue what to do? Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to fix my TG or restore it to normal? thanks.

This might sound like a strange thing to try but I seem to remember that back when the Palm III came out I had a similar kind of problem where no matter how many times I did a hard reset the III would get a "memory reset error" and I needed to Hard Reset again. I called Palm and they told me to try doing a hard reset while its in its cradle. Now I am not sure if this is exactly the whole procedure but hopefully someone will remember this problem and fill in the gaps. I know that was a few OS's ago but you might as well give it a shot or break down and call support.

I'm trying that right now plessdude.

Actually what I'm looking for is some way I can get all of my old data back

My computer itself is kinda wacky and I could not figure out how to go to my backup folder to install programs one by one. I feel so helpless right now, all I want to do is get my palm back to normal. =(

I figured it out!!! It was AIM

Remember the golden rule, NEVER disconnect from the internet without first logging off AIM.

The only thing I have to do now is reorganize Powerrun's applications... don't know why after a reset, the powerrun shortcuts no longer appear...


Wow this gave me a huge scare. I hate AIM!

Wow! By the way, how can you go into PowerRun again when your Clie hanged on the Palm logo?

[hansschmucker]

After the hard-reset I guess. Anyway, just keep a second copy of Powerrun in your Launcher folder. It's also a good idea to move the actual shortcuts to the launcher dir as well. It takes up 1/10 of a second longer to load a program, but after a hard-reset EVERYTHING is still in place. Also, a nice little hint for PowerRun users: If you update a program, you usally don't have to delete it from MS/move to internal, then update via hotsync, then move back to MS. Just hotsync and now you will find the program 2x on your Clié: 1xthe shortcut to the old version and 1x the new version. Just start the shortcut to the old version and Powerrun will automatically update your old MS version!

@ YoYo

Nice. AIM has always been too flaky for me to use on a consistent basis. I bet the first thing you did when you got it running was to backup everything to the MS :)

[yOyOYoo]

...doing the Backup right now Pless... thanks for reminding me!

Guess what I installed AIM again and about 2 hours later my palm experienced the reset hangup in the Palm Logo again... when will I ever learn?
