Palm z22 dead screen?

I have a palm z22 that got damp on a misty overnight hike last week.  The screen backlight wouldn't turn on but the screen still seemed to be working.  I took the unit home, and the backlight would not come on, and the screen wouldn't function at all.  The unit has now dried for a week, has been charged.  It will synchronize, so I know the processor is working.  I have tried a soft and hard reset, and cleaned the screen.  The screen and backlight will not turn on.  Is there any hope for this unit or some technique that I haven't tried?

The moisture could have corroded something. You could check with pdaparts.com and usedpdaparts.com on repair costs, but it may be more cost effective simply to replace.

  • Palm Z22 frozen touch screen

    Hi -- I can turn on my Palm Z22, I can reset it, i can use the buttons, but the touch screen doesn't work at all.  Does anyone know a fix for this?
    Thanks,

    To add to this.....I just performed a hard reset and after confirming that I wanted to delete all data, it then asked me to "Tap the center of the target" with the stylus.  The target just keeps alternating between top left corner and bottom right corner in an endless loop and won't leave that screen no matter how many times I tap the target.  Is my Z22 gone for good?
    Thanks for any help.

    Have you done a soft or hard reset of the device yet? To do a soft reset if you do not know how to do one, is you put the stylus in the reset hole in the back of the device. If you do not know what a hard reset is go here http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887. Now I should tell you this will remove everything from the device and restore it back to factory settings. So you should sync it to a computer so you have your data backed up.
    If you did a soft and hard resets and the problem is still not resolved you need to have the device repaired or replaced. You can call into our support at 866-935-7256.

  • Palm Z22 Screen Problem (Unique?)

    So I know there are tons of posts about screen problems, but after some searching, I think mine is a little bit different.
    My screen is not responding to taps, but at the same time it acknowledges them.  I'll try to explain: I cannot write or navigate with my stylus (navigation buttons still work), however if I turn off my unit with keylock and try to turn it back on, the screen seems to acknowledge that I'm trying to tap it (stays on as long as I keep tapping it instead of just turning off), although I cannot actually hit the "unlock" button.  I opened up the case and made sure there are no wedgies.  Additionally I tried writing while the cover was off and the screen was clean, and the situation is still the same.  Again, it does not turn off when I try and disable the keylock, but will not respond to specific stylus inputs.
    I also tried to check the screen-to-board connection and it seems secure but since I don't know how to test its connectivity I cannot actually confirm if the input connection works (I'm assuming it's the smaller of the two cables, as the larger seems to supply power).
    Any ideas what could be causing this?  
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    After performing the soft reset, press "done" with the buttons on your palm. You will be brought to the preferences screen. Use the 5 way navigator to move to the "touchscreen." Then, tap the center of the target (the x around three circles) and see if the target moves around the screen - to the top corner, middle and bottom corner. If it does, then after 3-5 taps, the touch should be aligned and your palm should be fine.
    If the target moves from one corner to the other, your palm is probably at the end of it's life.
    You could try one more thing - the hard reset which wipes everything off your palm. A hard reset is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (your stylus, paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.
    If after the hard reset you are still not able to get the palm to move...well then, it's all over...

  • Why is it so hard to Return a Palm Z22.

    I tried to return a dead palm Z22 that never worked right.  They tell me that I didn't purchase this item on Jan 25.  I purchased it on another date in 2007.  That is what happens when you buy stuff at Fry's.  You never know if it has been returned.  The clown from INDIA who's name is Jack.  Yeah right.  I have to fax the receipt to 408-935-0340 and then beg to be approved.
    Check out Ebay a broken Palm Z22 is a very popular sales item.
    I sent a maglite that had batteries swell back to maglite and received a new one in two weeks.  That is service and I bought two more maglites.
    The call this number in INDIA crap has to end.  Support your product. Palm stock in sinking like a rock.  I think that I will just buy a blackberry and be done with this crap.
    I am going to sue palm for the $99 this thing cost me.  See you in Small Claims Court.

    I would like to get some information on the quality problem.  I think that with the problems that Palm is having they should be working on getting to support customers.  The Z22 seems to be really problematic.  The screen didn't really have a palm like touch.  They are made in China and seem to really have a cheap feel.  What do you think?
    Post relates to: Zire
    The Z22 an "entry-level" model.  Aka, "bottom of the line".  If you want a device with a better "feel", then you get what you pay for... 
    There are lots of users with no problems at all. You admit you purchased a possibly "returned" device from a reseller that may have been damaged.
    Unfortunately, the question is pretty moot now since the entire PDA line is being discontinued in favor of a New OS and phones. The Z22 is history.

  • Palm Z22 Battery Charging

    Is it ok to have the Palm Z22 "on" while charging?  Since it is on, I am able to see a broken battery icon at the top of the screen.  Do I charge the unit until it no longer shows the broken icon?  I was told last time to charge it 30 min per day.  Will this damage the battery, or give it memory?  What is the best approach to charging the battery?  Thank you for being there.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    You do not have to turn the screen on when charging.  That "broken battery" is actually a lightning bolt across the front of it - indicating charging is occurring.
    Whenever I charge my devices, I just plug them in and leave them that way overnight.  The charge circuitry will shut off when "full".  
    Newer battery designs don't have the "memory" problem.

  • Palm z22 problem

    Have had a Palm Z22 for about 4 years. Cannot turn on, attach the charger and it may turn on but the minute I unplug it the screen goes black. Any ideas?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    This sounds like a failed battery, and would require a repair. being 4 years old would be more then the normal life span for the battery. an exchange on this device would cost 75.00. If you would like to set up a exchange you can call 866-935-7256 for tech support, or you can set up an exchange on the Palm web site at www.palm.com/support.

  • Palm Z22 old version-sync problems. Won't stop.

    Have old Palm Z22. Downloaded new software and now can't sync.  It starts, won't stop or close. Must shut off computer to stop it!  Tried to uninstall new program, loaded old one from CD and still have the problem. Palm works fine but can't sync , so whats the point. Please Help.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Firstly, you do not have to shut down your computer to end the hot sync. Click Ctrl +Alt + Delete on your computer to bring up the task manager. Click on Hot Sync and click "end task" and then "end now" to the message that comes up on the computer screen to end the hot sync.
    Then, restart the hot sync manager by clicking on Start > Programs/All Programs > Palm One/Palm Desktop > Hot Sync Manager. You will then see the hot sync icon (circle with red and blue arrows) on the bottom right of your computer screen right near where the time is displayed.
    Do you use the calendar on your palm at all? Is there any info there that needs to be sync'd to your computer?

    it can be replaced through repair. it's not replaceable by any other means except for the experts.
    you can call palm for the repair process.
    there are low cost repair options that are being offered in the web. one example is the PDAparts.
    you can visit www.pdaparts.com and you will be redirected to a site where you an order devices and have it repaired as well.

    Unfortunately, neither of the two repair sites we mention often will repair a Z22 due to it's low initial cost!   A new screen will cost more than a new device...

  • Rebooting Palm Z22 after hard reset

    I have a Palm Z22. It was freezing and would not respond to taps so I did a Hard Reset. Now the screen is stuck on the first page where one has to tap on the centre of circles, bottom right and top left. It does not advance to the choosing the language, nor cannot I do a HotSync. I do have all my information on my computer. Can anyone help me advanceand be able to use my Palm Pilot?

    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Lester, check for a "screen wedgie" - grit caught between the frame of the device and the screen.  It could be causing phantom screen presses, and make the calibration routine fail.
    Try using a slice of a credit card, or a piece of paper folded into a scoop. 
    Do you have a screen protector on it?  Try removing it.
    It is possible your screen has failed...       Repairs would cost more than a new unit.

  • Help please with my first sync to palm z22

    Hi,
    I really hope someone can help, I've read every help file I could find & am still stuck on getting my new Palm z22 to sync to my iCal on my macbook.
    I installed all the palm software, then in iSync chose to 'enable palm OS syncing' - All this seemed to go smoothly, but no icon for the device (which is plugged in via the usb cable) appeared in iSync, as the instructions suggested it would. Also, if i try adding a device, iSync scans but says 'finds no devices'
    If i choose to hotsync on the device, i do get all the positive messages on the macbook screen & the device says 'hotsyncing operation complete' but none of the information from my iCal is in the calender on the palm?
    Have I missed/misunderstood something?
    Adam

    just worked it out, there was a box that needed ticking under the hotsync managers - conduit settings. works now

  • Need to set up palm Z22 on different computer

    Hi.  I am having serious problems with my pc.  How can I set up my Palm Z22 and all its info into a different computer? 
    I appreciate all your help!!
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Do you see the hot sync icon (circle with red and blue arrows) on the bottom right of your computer screen - right near where the time is displayed?
    If it is not there, the hot sync will be disabled and you need to enable the program by opening the HOT SYNC MANAGER. This can be found when you click on Start > Programs/All Programs > Palm OS/Palm One > Hot Sync Manager.
    The hot sync manager should then show up on your screen (on the bottom right) and you should be able to sync.
    Let us know if this works for you!!
    Good Luck!!

  • Second hand PALM Z22. Can't get it to sync. Wrong USB cable???

    Hello all.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.  I received a Palm z22 second hand and would like to sync it for the first time.  However, I notice the USB cable it came with is not the original. Seems the original has some kind of button on it you're supposed to be able to press.  Can I make it sync with a regular USB cord?  Everything seems to work fine just can't get it to syn.
    Thanks.
    Rebecca

    If the cable doesn't have a button try these steps
    1. Plug in and connect to your computer
    2. Launch the "Hotsync" application on the device
    3. Tap on the icon on the screen
    This should then initiate a hotsync operation.
