silverthorneWell, good news is that no vacuuming=messing with PDA that got left unplugged six months ago until its power died.
Originally thought it was dead-dead because it wasn't connecting well enough to maintain a charge over 30% when I was charging it...spent several months messing with the connector, sort of got that working, then the computer and the PDA wouldn't talk to each other so I could reload everything.
Finally got the connector to work over the weekend though, let Mini!Hal recharge until today (Yay! First time I've seen a full battery symbol for the better part of six months!) and now Mini!Hal and big Hal are speaking to each other once again.
From what I can tell, the little tiny outer prongs on the connector were just slightly bent out of shape...when I ran my thumb and finger along them and pressed them back in a tiny bit, that seemed to solve the problem.
So, YAY! ^^.
Because now at least I can feel comfortable at work at least pre-posting stuff during downtime because I'm not on the work comp (where they can trace it) for a ridiculous amount of time.
