THE PALM THAT I HAVE HAS THE OLD STYLE 9 WHOLE PORT CONECTION TO THE COMPUTERS IN THE EARLY YEARS (1998THRU 2002) I NOW HAVE A COMPAQ PRESARIO PC THAT HAS THE COM PORTS IN THE BACK . IS THERE ANY WAY TO STILL USE THE OLD CRADLE TO HAVE A HOT SYNK FROM THE PALM AND THE COMPUTER?

Hello
well, you need 2 things

1) Wireless antenna in your Presario, or lan cable.
2) internet access wifi.
3) of course, knowledge on how to connect to wifi network, with your passcode and username.

hi
go to the compute maintenance man or electronic maintainer to replace the dc jack by heating electronic

If the notebook doesn't have a PS/2 port then you would have to use a USB mice, or purchase a PS/2 to USB converter so you can use your old mouse on this notebook

Hi:
Just plugging in the monitor to your VGA port on the laptop won't make it display. You have to toggle to the exteral display, or both. Usually you have to hold down your function key, and then hit the external display key. It could be F1 thru F8, depending on your laptop model. Mine is F6. If you toggle thru the modes, your CRT should display . The missing pin is no concern!

Can you use that port to read any other device?What operating system are you using?Did it work previously?Windows 98 you will have to install drivers.Chances are that old computer has a usb 1.0 so it might not work.However try another device in that port or any usb port on the computer to see if any ports are working.Does your scan disk work on another computer.Have you done a windows update recently.Make sure you try all the above.
Good luck

There will be a 15 pin com port... it is used to connect external screen...

windows xp, yes. just look for printers which support windows xp.

you may have to upgrade your ram, but many hp machines (as well as other brands) will support pentium II's (10 year old technology) as long as they have 128megs of ram and a usb port. you may also have to update internet explorer (prolly to register the new printer).

the hardware interface matters only when it comes to printer port v/s usb, and most laptops and printers made in the last 5 years will all support usb. make sure the printer does not specify usb 2.0 in its minimum requirements, as this is a fairly new usb standard which was not around 5 years ago.

otherwise, make sure your laptop supports the other minimum requirements for the printer, as the printer's software may not load if the minimum requirements are not meant.

personally, i would recomend an hp, and a simple one at that; the more bells and whistles (such as flash card readers) the harsher the minimum requirements will be.

same thing going on with mine...sounds like hardware aka motherboard

im assuming its not dissabled, if not then go to control panel, network connections and right click on your network card and go to properties then driver and see if there is a code 9 meaning it's faulty or the device is working. if it is faulty then it's part of the motherboard anyway and you will have to buy a pcmcia network card and connect through that instead
