Screen not responding following extended period of storage...

I stopped using my m505 for several months and after I charged it overnight, the screen displays the "Use stylus to tap center of target." but does not respond to the stylus. It is locked on this screen and none of the buttons, including the power button, seem to work to change the screen. Suggestions? I saw the suggestion to slide a business card between the digitizer and the screen, but am unsure what is meant by that...?

The digitizer is very thin and paired with the screen. Sometimes they can get so pressed together with time and storage that can cause it to fail. Some people believe that you can put a spacer in there to separate them and try to "unstick it". This involves taking your screen apart and it might not even fix your issue. I would look on eBay or other sources for a replacement screen and just replace the whole thing personally.

Bosch GLM80 laser distance measurer has been on charge for about 8hrs after not being used for over a year. It will not turn on

  1. Leave it on the charger for an extended period (e.g., overnight) to ensure the battery gets a full charge.
  2. If it still doesn't turn on after a full charge, try a different charger and cable to rule out any issues with the charging equipment.
  3. If it's still unresponsive, you may need to replace the battery, as extended periods of inactivity can lead to battery degradation. Contact Bosch customer support or a certified service center for assistance with battery replacement.

I have had the phone for almost six months and just now there is one part of the screen that won't respond to my touch.when i try to text it won't let me push text but right below is picture message and it...

Typically if a touch screen stops responding in a specific area it is an issue with the screen itself, and it will need to be replaced. You can usually have this done at your wireless provider, or if you bought an extended warranty of some sort this type of issue is usually covered. In that case, you would want to follow the directions on your warranty.

I noticed my run time was getting shorter and shorter, within the first 6 months. I checked my charger and base with a V.O.M. okay. About 4.4 volts on the base about 14 volts on the direct line. I bought...

To extend Roomba's battery life and keep Roomba cleaning at peak performance: • Always keep Roomba plugged in when not in use. • Recharge Roomba as soon as possible. Waiting several days to recharge Roomba can damage the battery. • For storage off the charger, remove the battery from Roomba and store in a cool, dry place. • Blue or black batteries should be stored after Roomba has been used. • Yellow batteries should be stored after being fully charged.
16-Hour Refresh Charge If Roomba has been left off the charger for an extended period, Roomba will initiate a special 16-hour charge cycle. This extensive charge refreshes Roomba's battery and extends the battery life. While charging, Roomba's "Clean" button will pulse quickly. Note: For best results, do not interrupt this Refresh Charge.

I stopped using my m505 for several months. How long until it will be charged enough to turn on? Its been charging now for at least 2 hours and nothing.

I would charge it over night. If the batteries went completely dead sometimes it takes an extended period of time to charge them. If that doesn't work try using the free palm chat. I have enclosed that link. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see Palm chat. From there click on the link that says chat now.
Best wishes.

Palm m505 problem after hard reset

ouch... Try opening it up and run a business card between the digitizer and the screen. Fixes m500s and m100s.
