I decided to buy a cheap PDA on eBay, and the old Sony Clie PEG-S300 caught my eye. The first one I bought was faulty and I had to send it straight back. Luckily I got a second one cheaper, but I don't think it's working properly either. Does anyone have any experience with these (my first PDA)?
I basically got it this morning and decided to let it charge while I was at work. I popped it into the cradle and it immediately turned itself on and displayed a splash screen saying "Palm computing platform" (and there's a small blinking cursor in the top left). Unfortunately I can't get it to do anything else at all. I can't even seem to turn it off, it just displays the splash screen and nothing else. I tried the factory reset on the back, which turns it off for a few seconds, and then it goes right back to the same screen.
I can only think that it's either broken, or is it possible that the Palm OS may have been wiped or something?
Has ever had a problem like this, or can anyone suggest any PDA sites that might provide some information?
