nothing works
my pda went blank a week ago...i turned it on and in utter disbelief, stared at the default dell screen. took me a week to get over the shock of losing all that info....and now after setting it up by making it pretty, downloading my games, utilities, and software...its DEAD! not even responsive. i plug my mini into my laptop for to ease my discomfort and it won't even sync because of the low battery. for some reason, when the battery is completely emtpy, it won't even charge on usb. i leave my adapter at the office because its more convenient. these gadgets are supposed to be convenient but instead, they are stressing me out. even my cell phone stopped charging on its universal port about 2 weeks ago. i had to exchange the plug to the "wafer" plug and i really don't know how long that's gonna last.
speaking of my broken gadgets, i recently had to buy a transmitter because my tape adapter broke. i read on the forums that this actually has something to do with the mini and i just don't have the time to figure out exactly how to prevent it and rewire my car so i just went ahead and purchased a transmitter. i chose the monster iCarplay over the Xtrememac Airplay (a better iTrip) because it lets me charge my mini while transmitting. BUT it only works while plugged into the cigarette lighter. This means I can't charge my cell phone while I'm listening to my ipod and thats a problem because I can only charge my cell phone in the car. Sux for me eh? Anyway the Airplay lets you be more mobile but I don't really use my mini elsewhere but the car and my desk. I don't even use my headphones unless I'm working out. exbf got me the White Sony Fontopia Headphones on ebay (i HIGHLY recommend these) but they are just too good for me. sadly i am one who has become accustomed to mediocre sound. same problem i had when exbf bought the bose home theater system for our living room...all the sound was over-stimulating!. so yeah these headphones make me hear my heartbeat and stomach grumbling. at least when i work out the music is loud enough. if i do that at work, i'll sing loud and wiggle in my seat without being aware of everyone around me NOT enjoying my singing and/or dancing. i'll be able to use my new ipod audio system when i drive to vegas for labor day weekend. Rather than having the trasmitter antenna suck my battery dry, i'd rather charge up my mini while blasting my music on the freeway.

Did you do a backup of your pda stuff? But yeah that happens when it's completely depleted. There is also a way to auto backup when you sync.
