NEC MobilePro 900 lines in display

install the driver of your mobile in laptop

Which one did you do first: Did you install ActiveSync 4.5 first, or did you try installing the driver first?

The best way to do this is as follows:

1. Download and install ActiveSync (4.5 is what i use both at home and work and it works great with the NEC 900 and 900C's.
2. Restart your Windows XP Machine (I assume you don't have Vista)
3. Next, follow the instructions for the installing the NEC 900 usb drivers (these drivers should be installed AFTER installing ActiveSync... (it seems to work that way without problems for me).
4. Next, restart your xp machine again.
5. Now, connect your NEC MobilePro 900 to your Windows XP machine, and it should perform smoothly.

If this does not work for you, you can contact the folks at usedhandhelds.com, they sell and repair, as well as provide support for these machines.


Hope this helps

I just bought a 900C on eBay and had the same problem. According to the seller "the video cable on the right under the hinge cover gets loose..if its reseated it will be fine..you could just press on the bottom of the hinge cover right and it will make it go away but best to reseat the cable." I haven't tried his solution yet. Mine seems to intermittent since it is working fine right now.
