To everyone that's having problems with not booting up or the back plate battery cover warning messages on your Dell PDA, I think I've found the answer, I have 2 Dell's PDA's, 1 a X51v & the other a X50v, I was having problems with both of them (1 had battery cover warning messages & the other had a screen freezing) so I stripped the 2 of them down when I had both rear shells together I noticed that the small piece of sponge that Dell fit to the latching mechanism one was on the far right of the latching plate on one & the other was in the middle of the plate, I looked to see which shell belong to which PDA & the one I was having problem with battery cover warning messages the sponge far right, so I swapped the back shells around & booted it up BINGO!!!!! problem solved, I'm fairly sure the SPONGE SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LATCH PLATE, if I'm right Dell engineers & executives should be shoot, such a simple fix why didn't they let owners know about this. This has got to be easier than trying to bridge the switch contacts or rip the switch off the board, give it a go guys, Please let me know if it works on your PDA. I will upload some photo should any of you guys need.

Dell AXIM x50v won't start.

Note: The following is a quote of someone else: I had the same prob. Went to dell site and found this. Take out battery. Put the cover back on. Attach to cradle and turn on. While it is on, do a soft reset. Turn off, take it out of the cradle and put battery back on. Try turning on with battery only.

Know it worked for me except for the last part. when i replace the battery it won't run on...again. tell me what happens with you ^_^
