TX with broken screen, anyone?
 

My TX has developed the dread unfixable WiFi problem--soft reset whenever WiFi is turned on. The WiFi on my TX is moderately important to me, though not important enough to buy a whole new TX. Does anybody have a TX with a broken screen (or something else broken) that they could sell cheap for parts?

By the way, I am still occasionally doing some PalmOS programming, mainly for astronomy.

What do you consider "cheap"? I have my TX that is in good shape that has been collecting dust for a few years now. Feel free to email me to discuss further if you want. wildceltATgmailDOTcom

Thanks! I finally got the TX's WiFi working, albeit unreliably, by installing the WiFi security update (which is now free!). The unreliability may be due to the fact that I restored an old backup over the security update, and I shouldn't have restored the old panels. I'll have to fix that up. But in any case, it's working well enough to do the nightly updates that I have it do via MassDL and my server. It may die eventually.

Pruss, do you have a link for the free WiFi security update? I couldn't find it on the Palm site.

Thanks!

Glad you got it working again.

Well, if anyone is interested in a pretty darn pristine TX (with box) let me know. I also have a T5 I need to get rid of.

It might help to find takers if you suggested what price ranges you're looking for for the two devices.

By the way, I am guessing that after installing that, one should also reinstall the DST update?

Tried the WiFi security update - result endless reset loop when Hotsynced to restore databases. Got out of this by hard reset then restore using Resco Backup. WiFi security update now gone. May try a selective restore in the future - not sure what would have caused the conflict. May try without AutoWiFi and FixWiFi.

Agreed, but I wasn't going to hijack your thread for an ad! :)
