Yay! I got hold of the tech! I'm to call him when I get off work, and barring him having his hands tied up with another service call, he will meet me there. If he's tied up, then when he's done, he will be on his way after that.
YAY!
(And thanks, guys, for your support and humor through this. It kept me sane. *g*)
I love Verizon. Just so you all know.
Oh, good! ^^
May. 16th, 2006 05:26 pmWell, 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.
