Nice...tape?
Didn't have a box to put this thing into? What happened to the original case?February 26 2006, 01:41:57 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Nice...tape?
The original case was destroyed in a fit of rage during disassembly. I'm actually in the process of re-attaching the USB lines (for a future LCD-screen project) and then I will put it back in it's original case.I would also like to add that the small power button and photo slider switch are very easy to break, so be careful with those.

Resurrection II
I was able to resurrect my Zire 71 using your info. My problem was a broken off ribbon connector at the Motherboard. I soldered wires from the 5VDC and Ground connections on the motherbord directly to the ribbon cable (these have conductors wide enough to solder to on the ribbon cable). Other intentions are to solder USB jumpers from the motherboard to the diodes on the ribbon cable and also jumpers to the speaker. Thanks for your help! EdMarch 26 2006, 03:12:31 UTC 6 years ago

Re: Resurrection II
I was able to change the battery. the greedy teks at Palm had glued the battery and place two plastic blue bands to hol the cover and make impossible to take out the battery cover. However I broke one and change it anyway. it works but camere is out wich I do not need.I will try next to find out a new charger for the bat to see if with new software it will zync from the sd chip recover.

Re: How about Zire 72
It's really nice to know that somebody can do great things. I wonder if there is somebody who can help me fix the speaker of my zire 72. I would really appreciate if somebody can.Deleted comment

Re: partypoker news online
Omg... spyware annoying advertisin spreading random person....Anyway, I want to ask you, how do you "trace the lines? I want to be able to do that.
I have a Zire 71 that I've been using for over 4 years on an almost daily basis. Surprisingly, it's still alive, and I recently opened it to fix the speaker and joystick.
I want to learn how to "trace the lines" since that sounds applicable to any hardware hack.

Re: partypoker news online
'Tracing the lines' is a little tricky for me to explain, but it is rather simple. For example, I wanted to know what each pin on the molex cable did, so I followed each line one by one until I found where it led to.I.e, the last two lines led directly to the speaker and nowhere else, so they must be the main speaker connection.
Ps. Forgive the lateness of my reply. :)

help
you seem to know your doing and i need some help hopeully you can help me.Im going to attempt to replace the LCD screen because it was cracked with the LCD from a older tungsten. Do you think you might be able to give me some tips?
August 14 2007, 20:44:41 UTC 4 years ago
or...
if you still have that thing is there anyway i can get it off you?August 17 2007, 08:40:15 UTC 4 years ago
Re: or...
as far as i know - i dont know much because i only ever owned one of these - the screens are designed to match their device. i'm not sure. you have to definitely match the size, features, resolution, and color, but the connections may be different. if they are the same, i'm sure it would work just fine. fabricating your own connection would be damn near impossible, unless you had a really big magnifying glass, a microscopic soldering iron, and some months of free time.i would gladly send you mine if i still had it, but unfortunately it's screen and other innards (probably from not being in its proper case) aquired some damage. first the power button broke, then the screen got permanant red lines across it, then the unit completely failed, possibly from a short. as a result the device was blown up and discarded.

zire 72 video input
Does anyone know of a a way to feed video into a Zire 72? It seems like a cool thing to be able to watch tv on if you could get it to. thanksMay 18 2008, 16:22:02 UTC 4 years ago
Re: zire 72 video input
Impossible. Even if you could interface it with say a saa7134 decoder chip, theres no way the device can decode such a high-bandwidth signal in realtime.Anonymous

You gathered the useful information people would find interesting here.
Hello.The CRC error could also mean that the disc is dirty or scratched, take the disc out of the drive and make sure it is clean and free of scratches...could also be a bad press.
