iPAQ Help Please!

Hey Guys,
 
I have an ipaq 3835 that has hardly been used and one day when a new SD card was put in, it would not recognize the card so I did a soft reset and then it just came up with the iPaq Pocket Pc v1.15 boot screen and nothing else. The power drained and it won't charge, but stays on when connected to power. I have tried all the hard resetting and holding down all sorts of combinations on buttons, but no good.
 
I don't know if this is a bootloader issue or a hardware fault. Could the new SD card have ruined something? Do you all think there is anything that can be done or have any ideas as to what is wrong?
 
I would be so grateful if someone could help or point me in the right direction.
 
Thank you very much for your time!
 
John

Afaik, ipaqs won't try to read from SD/MMC/CF as
"bootcard", unless
you press a specific button combination.

In my personal opinion, you have some other problem, but ppl
here may
know better. :\
