Palm Zire 71 Display Problem

Check and see if you can download a "mediaimpressions" driver. I have found it is great for downloading photos from any device. GOOD LUCK

Hello there,

If your palm zire 71 is still under warranty, I would suggest to bring it to the authorized service center for assistance as opening your Palm may revoke the warranty. But if it is already out of warranty, below is the link that could guide you and which includes illustration on how to do it correctly.

Hope this helps. Goodluck!

I don't know any actual stores, I'm sure it's on newegg, ebay, or any electronics website.

Install Documents to go software...a version comes with the intial CD. It can also be purchased on line through Dataviz.com..the best software for reading officefiles on a PDA

Confirm that both the cradle and the PDA ports are clean and free of dust or dirty.

Also, check your AC wall adapter to confirm that is working. The output should be +5.0 volts DC. Any repair shop has a multimeter need it to check it in no time.

If everything appears is OK, then confirm the PDA is properly placed in the cradle, and that the PDA is not loose on the cradle, indicating that the port contacts are not touching.

Best regards,

Exactly what software are you looking for?

Despite you have no software CD, you can get in PalmOne web site, and in the support and download section, you can download all the basic and need applications and software for it.

Best regards,

I havent been able to fix it yet.

Hello LyMaBa

Do you have an SD card inserted in the PDA?

If so remove it and restart your PDA.

Did the problem go away. If so, please, go HERE for the Zire 71 Expansion update or HERE for the SD/SDIO update.

You can find all the manuals for the Palm Zire 71 PDA HERE.

If you don't have a SD card inserted, you might want to try performing a WARM RESET of your PDA. Youtube has a video on this process HERE.

You can find instructions HERE for performing a reset ("warm" or "hard") on your Palm PDA.

You can find other software, info, downloads, etc.
HERE for your Zire 71.

If performing a "warm" reset doesn't work, try performing a "hard" reset.

*** WARNING!!! ***
YOU WILL loose ALL of your data on the PDA by performing a "hard" reset so make sure it's data has been synchronized w/ your computer software (Palm Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, etc).
