• Remove the battery of your iPAQ.

Performing a Factory or Hard ResetPerform a factory or hard reset when there is a need to clear all settings, programs, and data from the RAM.CAUTION:Performing a hard reset will return the iPAQ to its default settings and it loses all information (files and settings, among others) that is not recorded in the ROM. Back up all important information or data before performing a hard reset.Follow these steps to perform a hard reset and return your iPAQ to factory settings.

Replace this new document with the file on your device.

The backup battery is not user replaceable. If you have some electronics experience you could open the device and replace it yourself but it involves cutting out the old battery and soldering in a replacement. An easier solution is to take it to a phone repair shop and get a quote to replace the battery, probably around $ 60. They may even give you a 3 month warrantee.

how do you know that new battery is anygood
many are old sat on self for years and no good now.
this device is 14years old now. 2003 reviews show it.
so what do you do with it?
games?
diary?
my guess integrated WiFi , using that? with home router?
can it run Whatsap or Skype?
maybe battery charging is failing?
why not just take the cash to fix this old PDA
and buy a used, smart phone, some are like $20 now .
old and slow and small but miles ahead of any PDC.
just thought.
