My PalmOne Zire 72S battery won't charge. How do I

reset

You probably don't need the CD. Just download Palm desktop software (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/zire/31/unlocked/downloads/page_en.html) and install that after you charge and set up the Zire. That should do it.

It is possible that the battery has lost it's skill. If you can plug it in, either by usb to a computer or through the power supply, and the screen shows it is a goner.

The link below is for the palm zire m150 if your interested in replacing the battery yourself. The zire 21 is similar to that model so it's pretty much universal.

Hello.

First, install Desktop Manager on another computer and sync, just as a backup.

Then, before you sync on YOUR desktop, look for the option on the Desktop Manager to copy from the PDA to the desktop only, so you won't lose your data.

Then, after the sync, change the Desktop Manager back to 2-way sync.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helsp.

Unfortunately Palm battery has a life cycle which is about 500 recharge after that will not charge well and will be end of its life. However you can replace the battery. Which can be obtained easily a 3.7V 700mA and above will work fine just make sure size will match

Its most likely caused by battery's life cycle has come to end. You may obtain a 3.7V OEM battery with same size of your original battery at least 700mA. you may replace if you wish to DIY or ask local repair tech assistance.

Here is a video I found on replacing the Zire 72 battery. I hope this
helps.

yep

Click on the Zire section and enter the model At the bottom there are instructions. Print them then Click on "Outlook Conduct Updater Zip and download it.
