Hi,

Replace the Battery. This has either a faulty Or Discharging Battery.
Even brand new items can have a faulty battery, or charging system
i,d suggest returning for replacement or refund, if it,s new/warranted.

Mike @ compurepair.

First you need to reset the TX:
hold the reset button on the back of the unit, then turn the power on. Hold the power button while releasing the reset button. The TX will power up to the screen where it will ask you if you want to reset it to factory default.
Afterwards go to this link,

and download the Palm Desktop/Sync software and install it onto your PC. After installing the the Palm Destop software, connect the sync cable to the PC via the USB, then connect the cable to the TX and push the sync button.

Search youtube for Palm TX Digitizer Replacement and Palm TX Take Apart Direction. If you think you can do it, or know someone who can, you can order a replacement digitizer on ebay for from somewhere like www.pdaparts.com.

Before ordering the part, you may want to start by opening the palm and cleaning the connecting ribbon cable contacts to make sure that a loose cable or oxidation has not caused your problem.

Have you tried a hard reset? In case you need to know how...Hold Power button on Top of Palm down, then press reset button, then release reset button and continue to hold power button down until second Palm logo comes on screen and progress bar at the bottom of screen completes. If you release the power button and it asks which language you want to use you have done this correctly.

Reinstall the Palm Desktop from this link:

PS: you may need to uninstall the Palm Softwrae on the computer, before you download and reinstall it.

Perform a hard reset. Hold the power down and push in the reset button on the back of the TX. Let go of the power after the screen comes up .Afterwards, connect the sync cable and let the OS setup the TX. Once that is done, hit the sync button.

Could be a malfunction with the power button.  Go to settings and make sure the sleep timer is set.  That will save your battery life.

What happens when you press the reset button on the back of the TX?

It may be a faulty charger. You may have checked this already, but here is the link to the palm website http://us.store.gc.palm.com/?cp=TX&i=1&t1=Chargers%2C+Cables+%26+Cradles&u1=cp&u2=t1
I have a palm TX as well I just hope its a bad charger and not the TX. Sometimes I my TX dosnt charge from the usb sync cable.
