I've been having some trouble with my Axim x51v lately. I charge it all night on the cradle and then when I go to use it during the day it will not turn on. I've tried pressing the power button, tried pressing the little button on the back in with the stylus, and even tried removing the battery and waiting 5 minutes. When the pda is on the charger the light is orange and eventually turns green.

This is what happened last month, now when I put it on the cradle to charge, it does nothing. I Tried plugging it into my computer and then plugging into the wall at the same time but then it runs only on AC power. I never get a green or orange light which would signify charging or charged. Is this because the battery is messed up? Would getting a new battery solve this problem?

I am using the A06 software I think its called, i never did the upgrade. And I have not installed any new software.

Ive checked to make sure the axim is not locked, so thats not the problem.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Or any way to fix it? My axim is not under warranty anymore

Right, so it works when it's plugged in, but not when it's not?

Sounds like your battery's being funny especially if it charges...

If the X51v thinks the battery door is open, it won't turn on. I know a number of people have had that problem (as have I).

Sounds like another option...
