Reseating Stylus in PalmPro turns it off
Richard Morris
G'day,
I've noticed something weird every now and then, when replace the stylus
quickly the pilot switches off. Which is a neat effect since most times
that's what I do just before switching off anyway. But I am worried about
a dry connection being the real cause. Has anyone else seen similar?

I got this yesterday, I thought it was just me. Except that the screen
went all jinky and I had to do a soft reset. Very strange.

Unless you happened to replace the stylus when the Pilot timed out, you
have a potentially serious problem. I spent a lot of time on airplanes
playing games and I always put the stylus back so I won't drop it (I did
drop it once, and it fell under the foot of the guy sleeping in the seat
behind me. Did I look silly lying on the floor fumbling with the guy's feet
when he woke up!...). It never shut down except when it timed out.

I've had this (stylus reseating shuts down pilot) happen too. Definitely
not time-out related.
<BR>Four times now it's locked up requiring a reset to restart, and has
<BR>lost all my data. It seems to be that reseating the stylus causes the
case to flex and the
<BR>battery to disconnect momentarily.
<P>Currently my battery case is stuffed with foam to keep the blighters
from moving....
