Info on Palm Pilot Repair
Palm Pilot is one of the most popular models of PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) in the whole world. These products are proven to be excellent in terms of functionality as well as durability. Nevertheless, you may encounter some problems with your Palm Pilot at some point.
Palm does not accept units for repair until the owner have performed all the necessary troubleshooting steps. In other words, your unit is not eligible for Palm Pilot repair unless you have already performed minor fixes on your end.
In general, your unit will only be proven damaged and worthy of Palm Pilot repair after you have performed troubleshooting on all four major troubleshooting areas, which are the following:
· Hotsync - Hotsync problems are usually caused by wrong settings, third-party programs and corruption of file. Try to check the settings of your device before proceeding with Palm Pilot repair.
· Hardware - Same with Hotsync, making some minor adjustments usually solves hardware issues. You can visit their site at www.palm.com for a Palm Pilot repair if certain adjustments do not work. On their site you will find troubleshooting steps on usual hardware problems like battery charging issues and power issues.
· Software - Software issues on your device may seem like it will need a Palm Pilot repair. However, you may only need a few easy troubleshooting steps to fix it. The most common software issues are freezing and error messages. They are usually fixed after performing a system reset. If it still fails, then your device may need repair.
· Wireless Features - Wireless feature issues normally include communication problems like Bluetooth, Infrared, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and network problems. These issues are commonly caused by incorrect settings. If it still does not work after checking the settings then consider Palm Pilot repair.
Your Palm Pilot device cannot be repaired if it is burned, melted, crushed, damaged by harmful liquids or if it is already beyond economic fix. In addition, Palm will not fix your device if it was modified, if it was opened or if it was serviced by some who is not a certified Palm Pilot technician.
If in case Palm concludes that your device is no longer repairable then the unit will be returned to you as it is. It will be more logical to purchase a new one if you will be spending a lot of money for the repair.
Palm can also repair a cracked or scratched LCD screen. If your unit is already out of warranty then you will need to pay the corresponding repair fee. If your device is still under warranty, you will only need to pay for the shipment.
