| 12:08.59 | ha3pg | Anybody online I could ask for general help charging an IPAQ 3835? |
| 12:14.17 | mzb_d800 | plug it in? ;) |
| 12:16.01 | ha3pg | Good hint ;) Unfortunately it was not enough. Read on. |
| 12:17.29 | ha3pg | This IPAQ rested in a box and was untouched for 1-2 years, so the battery gone flat. First I thought the battery is bad so I bought a new one. |
| 12:18.42 | ha3pg | But I can not charge it. I replaced the original, no problem, the IPAQ works fine if on PSU but just does not charge. I left on charger for all night then resetted both soft and hard no avail. |
| 12:19.34 | ha3pg | The charge LED does not go on btw. Any hint how to force the beast to start charging? |

| 12:35.13 | Curious | ha3pg: any idea if the battery is connected the same way as the 3870? Because i am trying to remove mine, but cant remove the yellow wires. Sorry about not being able to help you with your problem but i am stuck myself. ^^' |
| 12:38.54 | ha3pg | Curious: Most probably these have the same type of connectors. Just pull the connector at the end of the yellow wires carefully toward you, first on one side then the other. |
| 12:40.12 | ha3pg | Curious: Do not attempt to pull the connector by the wires! You can remove any or both of the connectors, I mean either on the battery end or at the board. Or both of them. |
| 12:46.44 | ha3pg | Curious: Go and fetch this guide: http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/guides/Compaq%20iPAQ%20Battery%20Replacement%20Guide%203800%20-%203900.pdf |

| 12:55.33 | Curious | No, could you plase send it again? |
| 12:55.37 | Curious | *please |

| 12:59.24 | Curious | Except i cant. Its rock solid. |
| 13:00.02 | Curious | It looks exactly as on the pictures, i just cant remove the connector xD |
| 13:01.34 | ha3pg | Curious: You will have to use some force. Use an appropriate plastic tool to gently pry first one end then the other by the small tabs. |
| 13:02.07 | Curious | k... here goes. |
| 13:02.44 | ha3pg | Or even a small flat head screwdriver but take care not shorting anything. |
| 13:03.31 | ha3pg | Try at the battery end of the cable first, there are no sensitive parts around just the jacket of the battery. |
| 13:04.44 | Curious | *fails dramatically*. I just can't get it between the connector bits and the cable bits so to speak. I see what i am supposed to do, i just, well, fail at doing it *tries to find something smaller* |
| 13:05.18 | ha3pg | Or just bring it over to me and I will remove it for free :) |
| 13:06.02 | Curious | Unless you live in sweden, i cant ;D. |
| 13:06.26 | Curious | Hmm.. i know what i will do.. the ultimate solution... |
| 13:06.35 | ha3pg | Oh, not far away, I'm in Hungary :) |
| 13:06.47 | Curious | I'll wait until mom gets home. She's good at this stuff ;P |
| 13:08.47 | ha3pg | A flat head screwdriver at the battery end will do it. I seem to remember my nails were not strong enough so I also used a screwdriver. |
| 13:09.07 | Curious | I mean, installing linux over an serial cable, yes. Compiling kernels, changing components, yes. But fiddly electronics and those wierd hp cases, thats when i call mom. :P |
| 13:10.15 | Curious | Yes, but i've tried that in what seems like every possible seam in the plastics, mergh. Be back later. Thanks a lot for the help :) |
| 13:10.48 | ha3pg | Interesting your mom is so good at that. |
| 13:11.03 | ha3pg | OK, good luck. cul |

| 13:54.41 | pyronik | can anyone help me get this ipaq sharing internet with my windows box? |
| 13:55.55 | mzb_d800 | it probably won't happen if you're expecting to work over usbnet |
| 13:56.35 | pyronik | there is a guide for it on the handhelds site, I just can't get the driver to work |
| 13:57.24 | mzb_d800 | ^^ |
| 13:57.40 | mzb_d800 | *probably won't happen* |
| 13:58.06 | pyronik | im not trying to be argumentative, but why would they write a guide for that then? |
| 13:59.01 | mzb_d800 | because it used to work ... my understanding is that many things changed (including M$'s goal posts) |
| 13:59.54 | pyronik | i read that, the "Old (Bahia) driver" stoped working |
| 13:59.58 | pyronik | then they had a new one up |
| 14:02.47 | pyronik | im sorry i can't read |
| 14:02.58 | pyronik | (iPAQ h39xx / h5xxx only) |
| 14:03.10 | pyronik | time to pony up for a wifi CF |
| 14:04.00 | mzb_d800 | got bluetooth? |
| 14:04.22 | pyronik | i have the adapter for my computer, but the 3600 doesn't have internal bluetooth |
| 14:04.28 | mzb_d800 | ok |
| 14:04.49 | pyronik | ok heres my other problem then |
| 14:04.56 | pyronik | if i get the wifi thing |
| 14:04.57 | mzb_d800 | you *might* have success with vmplayer |
| 14:05.17 | pyronik | will the drivers i have on the ipaq support it outright |
| 14:05.23 | pyronik | cause i dont have a way to get more drivers on |
| 14:05.26 | mzb_d800 | depends on what you get |
| 14:07.06 | mzb_d800 | eg. I'm keen on the Sandisk Connect+ cards ... but they don't suit most people because you have to build your own kernel (not a trivial task for a handheld) |
| 14:07.37 | pyronik | haha yeah about that |
| 14:07.43 | mzb_d800 | most of the prism-based cards should work |
| 14:08.03 | mzb_d800 | but check in the wiki, and the mailing lists for comments about particular models |
| 14:08.13 | pyronik | sounds good |
| 14:08.21 | pyronik | and vmplayer is just a linux emulator? |
| 14:08.31 | mzb_d800 | no |
| 14:08.41 | mzb_d800 | vmplayer works on windows and linux |
| 14:09.18 | mzb_d800 | I though that there might be a possibility that you could pass the usb device through to a vmplayer session running linux |
| 14:09.28 | mzb_d800 | (ie: you'd have to be desperate;)) |
| 14:09.41 | pyronik | haha |
| 14:10.01 | pyronik | ill buy the wifi since I was going to eventually when I got this thing working |
| 14:10.36 | mzb_d800 | just do your research first |
| 14:10.46 | pyronik | yeah ive been doing a lot of that ha |
| 14:10.53 | pyronik | for the better part of a week |
