I can't do anything with it. The charge light flashes when i plug it in, and the parrot shows up when I hold the middle of the joystick and do a soft reset. Otherwise, it is a pretty flashing light on a silvery box!?!? Is it a ROM corruption? I may send it in somewhere and have the ROM flashed and battery replaced, but i need more advice! The picture is what happens when i plug in the iPAQ.

If hard reset (slide the reset switch in the little door on the bottom back and forth) does not work, then you will need to get ROM reflash. Keep in mind that this is a very old model and you may also have other problems such as battery issues occurring soon. So it may not be worth repairing if it will cost something to repair.
