Bricked iPAQ 55xx, wrong bootloader
	2007-08-22 06:55:04
Hi, I have an iPAQ 5500, wich ran familiar for almost two years. Than I had to go back to Windows Mobile, because I had to use Skype at that moment. I tried to install Windows Mobile, which went fine, but it kept restarting my device. Then I tried to restore my original bootloader, but when it was ready, it wouldn';t boot anymore. I tried for three months now, with resets, battery removal etc. Search all kinds of forums, but still haven't got it working. I think I have to flash my bootloader with the JTAG connectors, but I'm not experienced with electronics and soldering (my hand's a bit shaky too..). Then I read about this email address, and the possibility that someone could fix this for me. I love to have my iPAQ back with GPE, but for me, it's not worth a lot of money (read HP fix), because I don't use it for work, just to experiment with linux. It would be wondeful if someone could help me out. If I can send my device to someone who could fix this, I would be gratefull. Thanks in advance, Pieter Jan Prijs Amsterdam, The Netherlands
