Hi everyone,

I have an iPAQ rx3115 (WM5, I believe), and this morning it decided to
act really weird. It starts fine, but whenever I click on anything/
anywhere, it thinks that I'm clicking in one spot on the screen. I
can click all over the place, but it acts like I'm clicking one spot
every time! I've never had this happen before -- is there anything I
can do?

Thanks so much!
Jeff

Have you tried re-aligning the screen?

Failing that, the digitizer may have developed indigestion.

I *would* re-align the screen -- but I can't click on anything. Every
time my stylus touches the screen, the PDA thinks I'm clicking in that
one spot. :(

Thanks,
Jeff

Usually, a hard reset calls up the screen align.

Hate to have to do that, but...

Are you able to navigate to it using buttons?
I am not familiar with that particular ipaq, I thank my fujitsu's that mine
has a start menu button, I suppose that is a positive.

OK, the hard reset didn't work -- the screen alignment screen would
come up, but I couldn't get the alignment calibrated (the little
cursor kept moving round 'n round the screen). So, I figured the
touchscreen was just dead.

So, I took out that battery over the weekend. I put the battery back
into the unit this morning, plugged it back in, and charged it. I
turned it back on, and it appears to be working!

Now, I've lost everything on it, but... oh well, what can you do?

Thanks to everyone for helping!

Jeff

Regret the hassle but beats a brick.

After you get your software reinstalled, back the Ipaq up on an SD card. You
can also back it up to your main memory, and then copy the backup file to
your PC. Every time you add new software or make changes it is easy to
protect everything in case you have problems in the future.
