How to change the batteries on a palm m125 without having to do a hard reset

Some palm m125's are defective meaning that when one changes the AAA batteries one is presented with a no way out question on whether yes to hard reset or no to not hard reset, yes it's true that what i mean by no way means that even a soft reset will NOT make it work again, hope you just did a backup right.. oh! and this will prob. only work if you have enough battery power to keep the unit on: ie: around 5% battery...
Anywhoo I have found a workaround for this bug or so that may help you, please read below on how to hopefully preserve the data on your handheld's m125 hardware without this hard reset lockup...
Note: Testing with rechargeables in (Maxxus 1100 mah) and then put in alkalines = mixed results :/, but alkalines out then new ones in should work fine..
Okay - fairly simple - Let's start:
A: Turn on the unit - yes u heard me turn the unit ON
B: Flip the unit over
C: While the unit is ON take out the top battery first and replace it as fast as you can with the newer one and make sure it is in before doing the next step...
D: now do the bottom battery...
E: turn the unit on by pressing the power button
Result: If all goes well, u'll see the palm logo and then it should show the prefs screen of which you've successfully saved all ur user data. - What it did was a soft reset.
So far with alkalines i've had nothing but success - if anyone out there owns a m125 as well and can confirm that this tip works, please post to let others know ur success or unsuccess of trying out my tip..
My Test Results Tested on Factory State unit (Hard Reset Unit ):
Alkalines -> Alkalines = 99% (if done correctly) = Pretty Safe*
Alkalines -> Rechargeables = 50% (if done correctly) = Warning/Caution
Rechargeables -> Alkalines = Not Consistant enough to measure (if done correctly) = Very Risky
*If ur unit stills asks on Alka to Alka then Just maybe a software program is now causing it to ask for a hard reset as I'm still testing this.
If method One does not work out, I've also tried the following with success esp. on Rechargeables -> Alkalines, but this will requre more work and a more steady hand...
A: Turn the unit ON
B: Press and hold DOWN button
C: While holding the Down button, take out the TOP battery first and replace it, DO NOT let go of the down button on the handheld
D: Now replace the BOTTOM battery
E: Let go of the Down Button
F: Press the on button
If all goes well you will see the palm logo meaning that it just did a soft reset, but ur data should still be intact, With method 2 I was able to get a more success rate. , But I am still testing on when the unit is fully loaded, etc.. as these tests were done on a hard reset unit. You can also try holding the up button instead of the bottom one for a method 3. Again anyone out there with success or unsuccess stories - please tell as i'd like to hear your expierence with my findings here.

Hi
Im using fireworks to put it all together visually and mechanically
and then I'd like to export it to dreamweaver
This is a bad idea, and will only create problems further down the line. For the correct way to do this see -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html there are 3 parts to this tutorial series.
As for the effect you wish, (no full page load) this is known as ajax and if you are new and using dreamweaver then the spry framework is probably the easiest to learn, see http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/build_ajax_components_with_spry/, your dreamweaver documentation also contains a description of how to use Spry, the full Spry documentation and examples are available at - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html.

  • How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

    How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?
    When I try it myself my whole gradient turns black.

    To add to the above, you can not just set the angle. If you want to use other existing settings you need to get them from the layer. The code in that other thread shows one way to get them.
    But if you do not need the existing values for any other reason you can get the descriptor for the layer, make a duplicate of it with all the settings and just overwrite the ones you want to change.
    This is one way to just change the angle while keeping the other existing settings.
    // helper function for working with descriptors

  • How to change unlinked subreport with a newer version without having to delete and recreate in the main report?

    I am using crystal reports version 11 and have inherited a report with 5 sub reports. Here we version the each report that contains changes. Is there a way that I can change the pointer for the sub report to the latest version? The person who gave me these reports stated that he deleted the old sub report and inserted the new sub report. The issue with doing this is you lose all you positioning and have to perform these tasks again. This seems like a lot of work especially if the upgrade to the sub report was only cosmetic. If I could update the link with the new report name it would make things easier.
    Appreciate any assistance and thank you

    I had a similar situation where i had 4 different main reports that has 20 sub reports each.
    Best steps i figured out to keep track is:
    1- I do not create a sub report on the fly. (origanlly- sub reports were built by "create a sub report with the report wizard"
    so First i save all the sub-reports independently, and gave them corresponding name to their data fetch.
    On inserting report as a sub report i used the option "Choose an Existing Report"
    2- Since i had 4 different report, i created 4 seprate folders for each report. And then Sub folders for Sub reports.
    3- Any changes in the sub report would have a different copy, and saved with the date stamp. In summary info, Comments section, I will type the update detail.
    For Formatting changes alone:
    I create a fake group inside the report and drop a Text box. The box would have comments about the formatting and suppressed  (only to seen at design mode).
    Hope this helps.

  • How to change the transport request of a NOTE without undoing the note

    When we applied the OSS NOTE we put it in a transport request. How can we move the objects into another transport request? Since this is a REPAIR type, SAP does not allow manual copy of the entries. I don't want to include the objects of this transport into another one, Is there any other way?

    1. Create a new transport request in SE01
    2. Select the request and click on "Include Objects: button.
    3. Select "Freely Selected Objects: option from the pop-up windoe
    4. Select "Selected Objects" option
    Now you see three rows without any PGMID selected.
    5. Check the checkbox corresponds to the row and enter the value OBJ & OBJNAME (Textbox without any label). (This valued can be retrieved from your previous request).
    6. Delete the same object from your previous request.
    7. Click on "execute" button.
    8. Click on "Save In request" button.

  • For PCI-4451,How to change the frequency of an output signal without any undefined state

    I would like to generate a signal using output channels of PCI-4451 and at the same time capture data using the input channels. Is there any method that I can generate a continuous signal without any undefined state when the signal frequency is being changed?
    Attachments:
    Input_Signal.bmp ‏729 KB

    Wee,
    DSA boards such as the PCI-4451 have a number of very desirable properties including high precision and a high sampling rate. The trade-off for the combination of these two properties is that the DSA boards cannot adjust their sampling rate on-the-fly. Instead they have to be stopped and reconfigured. During this reconfiguration time, the value of the board's output becomes flat and level.
    If you are looking to adjust the board's output without seeing these flat spots, you have to take a different approach to programming a DSA board. Instead of reconfiguring the board, what you need to do is allow the board to continue to run (at the same output frequency), and then overwrite the output buffer that the board reads to output values. This will
    allow you to output new data without the flat spots. Below you will find an example that displays this behavior.
    If you determine that this is not an acceptable workaround due to the limitations on output rates, you may want to look at using a Multifunction DAQ board (60xx or 62xx) or an arbitrary waveform generator (54xx) device instead.
    Best of luck with your application.

    my wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected.  I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.  Can any one  help?

    Hey Annar99,
    I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:
    Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
    If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

    my wireless mouse is not working at all. I have changed the batteries and still nothing, not even a flashing green light. I am using someone else's computer to ask these questions as I now can't use mine. Help!!!

    I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
    The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
    That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
    Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
    I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
    The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.

  • How to change the OraSSO login link in webcache/load balance

    Hi
    we have 10gAsR1 installed as a Portal instance. We have 6-server
    load balancer => webcache as loadbalancer (listening port 80)
    Wb ch1 and wb ch2 => webcache (listening port 7777)
    portal1 and portal2 => Portal listening 7778
    infra =>Infrastruture with repository Portal/Oracle SSO (listening 7777)
    This set up is working fine for our intranet setup, now we need to open this for couple of external clients. Well initially we need to open on the load balancer server on port 80 for external team to access, it works fine when we make it publc access.
    Now when we need to make it SSO (siteminder) enables, when users click on login link it first goes oracle sso then it internally redirects the page to site minder sso.
    Well, I have noted that the sso server details are mentioned in global setting sso/oid details. Since we need to open this for external client we have to add a DNS entry for this so that we can allow its access over firewall..
    Now I have made DNS name change at my infrserver level, now I need to update the change at the load balancer server (where wheb chache is running).
    Any one know how to chang the URL at load balancer.
    I am struck at this point please suggest how should i proceed..

    Hi
    I need to store all the Self Service application prompts in dedicated Media Server. I can modify location of all the Media files by passing the related URL form CVP application, however I need to know how to change the default location of Prompt file played by Play Media Microapplication in ICM Scripting.
    Currently the default location taken by Play Media Micro App is the Media _Server.variable path set for VXML Server location while I have a separate Media Server.
    Please advice how we can customize the MicroApp Media path.

    Hi Kapil,
    Try this in your ICM script, define set variables i.e.
    set Media Server= ip address of media server
    set Locale = en-us
    set input Type = DTMF only
    set App Media Lib = " you new location i.e. test "
    So, the application path will be
