My Life Handheld Problem

The Dyson cords are known to go bad, test the cord and see if there is voltage. If this is too mechanical for you, please take the vacuum to your nearest vacuum repair shop

Doing a soft reset A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it's doing and start over again. None of your information will be lost. After a soft reset, a screen appears that lets you reset the date and time, if needed. To do a soft reset, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your handheld.

If a soft reset does not unfreeze your handheld, you need to do a hard reset. Doing a hard reset Only do a hard reset if a soft reset doesn't solve your problem, or if you want to clear all of your information from your handheld. [!] IMPORTANT A hard reset deletes all records and entries stored on your handheld, including the username that identifies the handheld. Before you do a hard reset, be sure to synchronize.

1 Press and hold the power button. 2 While holding the power button, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or a similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press and release the reset button inside the hole on the back of your handheld. 3 Wait for the Palm Powered™ logo to appear, then release the power button. 4 When you see the message that warns you about erasing all of the info on your handheld, do one of the following: •Press Up on the navigator to finish the reset and show the Digitizer screen.
•Press any other button to do a soft reset.

On an MC9090, with the battery removed, hold both power and trigger down, then insert the battery, and keep holding both buttons down. Wait for the onscreen display.

Usualy when you have that type of problem it is because the battery is shot. As you indicated the charge light shows good but the minute you draw or try to draw current ( power ) by activating the radio the battery does not have enough life left in it.

Hello.

From Palm support:

1. Press either the Date Book or Address Book button to see if
you can turn on your handheld that way.
2. Perform a soft reset: Use the tip of an unfolded paper clip
(or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the
reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your
handheld.
3. Make sure the power adapter is plugged securely into a
working electric outlet and is firmly connected to the
handheld. (If no outlet is available, your handheld can also
be charged through the USB cable, but this takes much
longer.)
Note: Your handheld does not have an indicator light to indicate that your handheld is being charged.
4. Charge for another three full hours.
5. If your handheld now turns on, check the charging-battery icon to ensure that your handheld is being charged. Example:
a. Connect the handheld to an outlet and turn it on.
b. Tap Home .
c. Look for the lightning bolt on the battery icon at the top of the screen.
d. If you do not see the lightning bolt, repeat steps 3 and 4.

Hope this helps.

The MH120 comes with a battery case which opens up to reveal 6 AA batteries. Their is a battery indicator on the LCD display on the left. 5 bars is a full battery. 1 bar means it needs fresh batteries. It requires AA alkaline batteries. You can buy a NiMH battery pack as an accessory that uses rechargeable NiMH battery. This is available at extra cost from Uniden. It is accessory part number BP250.

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,

Great news!!! Glad you are set...

With the unit off, pull the batteries out. Hold the power button in for about 10-12 seconds. Put the batteries back in and try again to power up like normal.

I have on and if the batteries start getting weak the screen display brightness is the first to stop working. Double check that, if you are on AC power try sliding the brightness control from dim to bright a few times and see if the rheostat has corroded. Those are a few of the quick checks you can try, let me know. Jay
