Water damage Hi there very disappontingly I got my jornada 928 damp whilst out bush walking. I had it in the non waterproof part of my pack. It still shows some sign of lifeand gets to the hp invent sign and sometimes to the startup screen for the machine . But it always fails once i try to get past the first screen. At the moment it is sitting in the cradle and periodicly fires up to the white scren and the timeing circle or the tap the scrre screen. Is there anyway to resussitate it thanks in advance

Many activities that include the use of scopes such as binoculars, spotting scopes and riflescopes take place outdoors, often in damp, humid or foggy conditions. Having waterproof binoculars, spotting scopes or rifle scopes will eliminate your concerns about moisture damage, including fogged over inner optics that are sure to ruin your day out! Some waterproof binoculars can even withstand short submersion's in shallow water so even accidentally dropping them in a puddle on a hike won't matter.

Sure you can. They make waterproof fanny packs for people who are snorkeling and doing other under water activities. It's best to look out for fanny packs that come with a certification of some kind to prove that they are leak proof etc. But you'll have to be willing to pay a lot more money for it than you would for a regular fanny pack. Good luck.

Hi there,

Most Japanese designed engines have an internally mounted water pump, usually driven by the cambelt.

When we talk in terms of cam design, there are two types of engines: a) Interference and b) non-interference.

An interference egine means - if the cambelt were to break whilst engine is running, there will be major internal engine damage.
A non-interference engine means - if the cambelt were to break whilst engine is running, there will NOT be any serious internal damage to the engine.

Note: the GS300 engine (3.0L 6-cyl) is considered a Non-Interference engine.

So, one of the most critical compenents which MUST be changed, is the cambelt itself. Most manufacturers recommend changing this belt every 90,000 - 100,000km's (80,000 miles). If you have a non-interference engine, this period is not as critical, but should still be changed soon, to avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown whilst travelling.

The 2nd critical compenent is the Water Pump. The worst possible outcome of a failed waterpump, is your engine will suddenly drain of all coolant, resulting in serious overheating, causing serious internal damage to your engine.

Although there is no specified time to change the waterpump, a waterpump endures wear and tear like any component and lifespan can reduce rapidly beyond 100,000km's (80,000 mles). As the waterpump is situated next to the cambelt, it is a general rule to change out both cambelt and waterpump at the same time.

The majority of the cost to replace the cambelt, is in labor (ie opening the engine etc). If you choose to replace only one of these components, you will need to be prepared to pay for same procedure again in future, to replace the 2nd component.

Therefore, it can be more economical in the long term, to have both components changed together.

Hope this helps...

It is not waterproof. Follow the manual and wipe it with a damp cloth.

Desiccant Moisture absorbing packs will help to absorb some of the excess humidity in the safe. In addition to the desiccant packs, you should open the safe at least once every two weeks for approximately 20 minutes. To alleviate some of the musty odor, we suggest that you remove the items from the safe and wipe the interior with a paste of baking soda and water. Do not store your safe unit in areas of your home or business with already high humidity levels such as a basement or cellar as this will add to the moisture problems. You can purchase desiccant packs from www.SentrySafeShop.com . The link for the desiccant packs is: http://www.sentrysafeshop.com/Moisture-Control-Desiccant-Packets-p/desiccant%20pack.htm

depending upon the rpm that the engine was turning at, I have seen "non interference" engines bend valves on a timing belt or chain failure.
if you have 0 compression on that bank, it will need to be torn down to find out why. BUT I would do a cylinder leakdown on those cylinders after the belt has been removed (so you can turn the cam and close the valves for each of those cylinders), to make sure that they are not properly sealing, before removing the cylinder head.

try ebay as well

Do you have problems also with downloading your e-mails? If not, you have problems with DNS - your computer cannot recognize web page name and convert it into proper IP number. Try to contact with your ISP and gain these numbers, which you have to enter into proper place in Connection menu (Advanced options)

I have a Jornada 568 but I've never seen the behaviour you describe. Is it possible that you damaged or caught a small part when you installed the new battery? Your new battery, was that the small round battery or a battery pack on the back of the unit. "Resetting to Factory defaults" suggests that there is no power at all, doesn't it? If the small round watch battery is dead then that might effect the clock.
