Subject: Help with Bootloader problem on Ipaq 5450 / Familiar 0.7.2

Hi..

 

I need some assistance with the IPAQ 5450…. After performing all of the installation steps as indicated with no problems… I got to the stage of pushing the joypad in and after removing the ipaq from the crade, pushing the reset switch with the stylus. I was expecting it to reboot and come up with the familiar bootloader but it just vibrates and then hangs the ipaq.

 

Everytime I try and reset, holding the joypad in, it vibrates and hangs. Performing a normal reset without the joypad pushed in works fine and allows me to get back to the windows desktop.

 

It is a clean ipaq with no apps and I have updated it to the latest rom available from Compaq.

 

I have tried every combination of joypad / reset switch / power / no power / etc etc and no luck

 

I would DEARLY love to turf Windows CE and get the best OS running on this but I need some assistance.

 

Thanks in advance…

 

Regards,
