Hello Everyone. I recently purchased a used 2215, and when I received it the speaker didn't work, I tried a hard reset, after the reset the ipaq won't start, it lights for a second, with a white screen with a HP logo in the center, and under that it has a windows logo with the word "start..." under that. Then it shuts off and I have do the reset again, only to get the same results. Is there some other way to reset this model ipaq?, or do I have to send it for service?
-   Ditto. Will not boot up after soft reset or hard reset. I just get a quick flash of the windows icon and the word start then the screen goes blank.-   Guest

Are you sure you are hard resetting that sounds more like a soft reset
Just in case to perform a hard reset you must hold down Buttons 1 & 4 (bottom left and bottom right) and depress the soft reset button on the back.
The screen will go dark and then restart.

My 2215 had a SanDisk SD memory. I tried removing it and doing the hard reset, still no luck. Is there somebody who fixes these? I have the Symbol Wireless Card and Igo bluetooth keyboard and don't want to send my 2215 to the trash heap. On the charger it shows no orange flashing charge light and it does not show up in the sync software. Thanks for any help you can offer.

The computer works fine on AC but won't stay on for more than a minute with just battery. You have to turn it on each time but it starts at the place it left off. So you can continue your work but have to push the start button to keep going.
