Palm Z22 won't power up

My Palm Z22 will not power up. It was working yesterday morning and just shut off while at my desk. I thought it might be the battery so I plugged it in to charge it, but it still won't power up at all. Is there some sort of reset button?

Look at the back of the device for the tiny hole marked "Reset"... Press gently with a paperclip, etc. and release.

Palm Z22 won't power on

I was using my Palm Z22, put it down and returned to it about 5 minutes later and it would not turn on. It had almost a full charge on it. I plugged it in again and it still would not turn on.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Z22 won't power up

First time here.
I have a Palm Z22 that won't power up. I was playing solitaire on a full battery one minute. Turned it off. Went back to it no more than 10 minutes later and cannot get any response at all. I've attempted to charge it with a wall charger - even though I know the battery was full - but still no response. I'm going to try to hook it up to my computer next but I don't have much hope there. Meanwhile, I hope someone here has a brilliant idea.

try soft reset first if it will power up.
push the reset hole at the back using a paper clip.

Palm z22 won't sync with Windows 7

I have a palm Z22 which I only use for geocaching. Has been working fine with Windows XP.
Just got a new computer running Windows 7. Installed from the disc (few years old)..wouldn't sync or recognize the PDA. Downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 which was supposed to fix the problem..didn't work.
What now?? Would buy another Palm PDA if necessary. Are there any which will work on Windows 7?

You get asked it every day? Too much of a bother to you?
Assuming only one person per day contacts you about this issue (which I very much doubt), that would mean approximately 120 persons have bothered to ask the question since the release of Windows 7. This does not reflect the many who simply toss their Palm product in the trash, and buy a competitor's product.
It is incomprehensible to me that a patch has not been written yet. And it is obvious that you really just do not care. You present yourself as simply annoyed that you CUSTOMERS are asking for help.
No enterprise that relies on satisfied customers can long survive with an attitude that a portion of their users just don't matter.
Since this is only your third post here I'll try to help you out with some background information how forums work.
Questions that get asked over and over get special treatment - they get responses that are stuck to the top of each section of the forum, and are called "sticky posts". They are placed prominently at the top, and have a dark background to attract the attention of New Users who may be unfamiliar how internet forums work. It's "assumed" anyone looking for answers would scan the top of a section first before posting questions.
Perhaps you missed the one for Windows 7? Did you not get any results using the Search function? How about using the new Tag function to click on "Windows_7"? Have you been trying to sync to a 64bit system via cable? Palm Desktop 6.2.2 works fine with 32bit Win7...
So you feel I don't care eh? Do you see a Palm logo under my nickname? You don't, due to the fact I am a VOLUNTEER here, sitting at home, and offering my years of experience with PalmOS devices freely to those asking for help. I am the highest Kudo'd responder here (kudos=Thank You's), have the highest post count, and yes answering the same question over and over again does get tedious at times!
The plain fact remains that Palm Inc. is ending support for PalmOS devices, and those of us using them are on our own. They sold Palm Desktop to a Japanese company named "Access" years ago, and have gone to webOS as their entire future. Microsoft has changed their OS twice now (since XP), and you chose to purchase it/them. Access finally came out with version 6.2.2 of Palm Desktop (for Vista), but that seems to be the end of the road as far as they're concerned.
One of the basic tenets of business is to attract new customers constantly. Palm's PDA line was discontinued due to lack of sales. Yes, I would have loved to have seen a TX2, or at least see Palm actually advertise and market what they actually had. Palm Inc. has moved on, and would like everyone to purchase a webOS device now.
Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you get the answers you are seeking.

Status as a volunteer does not bestow license for rudeness.
It should be reasonably simple to provide a link to a summary of the Windows 7 sync problems, rather than replying to the questioner in the manner you did.
A problem so often asked about deserves to be handled helpfully, not sarcastically. Actually, no request for help of any kind should be treated so disparagingly.
And, although I have no intention of getting into a pissing contest with you, you are way off base in your response to me, dripping with disparagement and sarcasm.
Clearly, in your mind at least, anyone daring to criticize you must be an ignoramus.
I did not search the forum to arrive here.
I came to this forum page from an outside link. Had I realized it would bring me here, I would not have followed it.
I long ago gave up expecting anything helpful in the Palm forums as it relates to this issue.
You did however provide one major piece of useful information: that Palm has literally abandoned PDA users. Yet as recently as last November, the Palm Store in my City was actively selling PDA's including the Z22. One would think that those newly purchased devices would be supported for some reasonable amount of time, like at least a year!
Now I know what future products not to buy. And whom not to engage in conversation.

Palm Z22 won't sync to new laptop Windows Vista 64 bit

I just got a new laptop and I am unable to sync my Palm Z22 with windows vista 64 bit. My computer keeps saying I need a device driver installed but it can't find it. I did read some of the other threads but am still confused. My laptop is bluetooth compatible but my palm is not. Is there a way to make my Palm bluetooth capable? Or any other way for the device to sync?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Because the Z22 has neither Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (and has no way to add either, because it lacks an expansion card slot), the only way to Hotsync your Z22 to a Vista 64-bit computer is with Infrared (IR) beaming. That means you will need to buy an IR adapter for your computer. I don't have direct experience in making it work, but this thread discusses how:

Z22 won't power on even after soft and hard restart

I've left the 2 yr old Z22 on recharge for days - tried both types of restarts - tapped the "brighten screen" area.

Did you try the resets with the power cord attached?
If you still aren't getting any response from the device it will need to be repaired or replaced.

Palm Centro Won't Power On

Alright, so I've had my palm Centro for almost a year now and have run into the infamous Hotsync Loop problem once before. I did a soft reset and it fixed the problem. Now it has happened again and the phone will not respond to soft or hard resets at all. Yes, it was charged and the light turns on when it is charging. No, there was no water damage or 3rd party application installation.
It seems to me that the problem has no real solution other than replacement, and I have no intention of getting another Centro.
My only question is whether I'll be able to salvage my contacts and transfer them to another phone. Verizon is my carrier and I have never Hotsynced the phone to my computer so it is not backed up.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The only thing left to try is cleaning the connector on the bottom of the Centro. Is there any green corrosion on the connector?
Take out the battery and wait for at least 1 minute to allow the Centro to power off completely.
Take a soft lint free cloth and dampen with alcohol. Clean the connector. Wait for the alcohol to dry and then power on the Centro to see if it will stop hotsync looping.
If you never hotsync to the PC you can use a program called NVbackup to backup your device to an SD card. Do a google search for the program, it is free.
If the Centro will not stop hotsync looping, unfortunately there is no way to recover the data on the Centro.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Palm Z22 won't Synchronize with Outlook 2007

Hi folks,
I have just upgraded a customer's server to a new box and I installed his Palm Software onto the box prior to cutting across and running up his Outlook Pst and Archive folders. Note this is not a Microsoft Server setup it just a standard box with a number of folder being shared across a wired network. He now reports that his Palm is not Synchrosing with his Outlook 2007. When I installed the Palm software I did enable the option for Outlook Sync when requested. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem before I venture out onsite?
Post relates to: Palm i705

Hello itronics and welcome to the Palm forums.
You probably need to install the Outlook 2007 update for Palm Desktop 4.x. This update will not work with Palm Desktop 6.x.
Hope that helps,

Palm Z22 Logo in power up

I had not used my palm in a while and after charging the only display is the Palm Logo. Is there anything I can do or is dead for good.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

You can try a hard reset. A hard reset will erase all data on the device and the data will have to be reloaded from your Palm Desktop application via Hotsync.

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?

Broken Palm z22?

My palm z22 can turn on, but won't go past the "palm powered" display. I have countlessly reset it as well as wait till it was charged to reset and then wait till it ran out of power and charged again, then reset! I even tried pressing the power and the reset button at the same time. Nothing changed. It's still stuck at "palm powered" and constantly on wasting power. Please help!
Post relates to: Palm Z22

There is some timing involved with performing a correct Hard Reset.
To perform a Hard Reset:
While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.

T|X won't power on - and loses time/date settings

I just bought a Palm T|X. After charging it, I set it up and then unplugged it. The problem is, it won't power up unless it's plugged in. When it does power up, the time and date settings have defaulted to 1/1/2005 00:00. However, it did keep the third party programs and contact data.
Any ideas?

One thought: Return it immediately to the store where you got it, if you just bought it, and get a replacement or your money back. .
If you can't, call Palm and send it in for repair, or if you can, replacement. Palm has a couple of bugs, one is the start button. If you can't get it to start, then it doesn't work. For what you paid, it should. The reboot (which is what is resetting your time and date) may indicate a short or other non software problem. Don't fiddle. Get rid of it, get it replaced or get it fixed.

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,

Post relates to: Palm Z22

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.

Palm z22 restoring portion of lost calendar items

Hello, I'm new here. I have palm z22 (v 4.5.2P) & I back up fairly regularly on my PC. Learning from previous disasters, now when I back up, on my PC I "rename" my datebook (calendar) file from datebook.bak to datebook 02-03-10.bak (or whatever the current date is). This allows me to save many backups so that if I get corrupt files on my handheld & do a sync, it won't overwrite my good backup file with a corrupt one. The question I have is that the calendar (datebook) on my handheld is good for the last year or so, as well as in the future, but I recently discovered that everything has disappeared that was over a year (or so) old (except the recurring events). I found my old datebook backup file from then, but I don't know how to restore to the calendar (datebook) on my handheld only the old items, without deleting the current and future items on my handheld. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob

First we need to create a new username in Palm Desktop. I would suggest calling it test. Then close Palm Desktop, and find the username in the C drive(Should be near your username). Then delete all the files in the datebook folder. Then delete all the files in the datebook folder. Copy the datebook.bak file you need to the test username datebook folder. Rename the datebook.bak file to datebook.dat.
Open Palm Desktop to see if your older data is in the Calendar. If it is then export it out by using file and export. Then move to your other username and then using import import the calendar you just exported in and you should be all set. Sync the data with desktop overwrites handheld and you should be done.
Post back if you have any more questions.
