Contacts I have a iPaq Pocket PC h1945 - From the main menu, when I try to bring up my contacts list, nothing comes up. However, everything else works fine. I can still update all of my contacts on Outlook. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know how to fix it.

Here you go!!

Good luck, hope that helps.

Your PDA doesn't have a inbuilt modem or wifi, so you can't use the Internet without a modem card.

Here are the specifications of your iPAQ:

Hey,

all the documents for it are available at this hp site

I think you will find all you need there.


Let me know if you need anything else.


Thanks,

plug in the charger - then press the soft reset button with the stylus - let sit for about a day or so...:)

Hello and sorry for the delay.

the h1945 series is a very intresting pda. I have seen all sorts of problems relating this one. There are some things you may want to try. Based on that knoledge I may be able to find what's rong with your unit.
First, check if the back cover fits tight on the back of the unit. It's important because on some ipaq models, there is a small micro-contact that doesn't allow the unit to power on if the back cover isn't attached. I'm not sure if the 1945 has one, it's been 2 years since i've last phisically repaired one of these, but you may look for one yourself. It's a small contact near one side of the back opening, check to see if it can be pressed. If you don't have anything like this just ignore this tip.
Second, leave the pda connected to the charger for about 6 hours. Even if it doesn't do anything. Then try to start the bootloader by pressing the 2 outer keys near the D pad (simillar to the hard reset procedure) then, while keeping those pressed, press the power button and in the same time press the soft reset button with your stylus. You must do this with your charger connected to the pda. It may be difficult to achieve in the first try. Just try to do this a few times and if the pda doesn't respond even now, please post back. Furthermore, if you need more info about these 2 tips please reply.

First try a soft reset - insert stylus into hole at bottom of unit.

On the opening screen of iPaq Backup there's a line, "File," where the backup's filename appears, and a little box with 3 dots. Tap that little box and you'll get a menu allowing you to set the location.
