Ipaq 3850...

DGR · 07 October 2005, 12:06

Does anyone have an Ipaq 3850? Or more importantly, anyone got the setup/software CD that comes with it?

Over the summer, I neglected my Ipaq for just too long - and the battery went completely dead. Whilst this isn't normally a problem - I've backed up the contents - it becomes a major headache when I can't find the software CD to re-load onto the thing

The CD appears to have been 'mislaid' in the house move.

HP/Compaq have (to date) appeared quite unhelpful - so if anyone could help I would be MOST grateful......

I have a 4700 but I have no idea if it's the same CD or not!

I'll check tonight if that helps...

Thanks Richard!!

It is the e-wallet software that I'm really after - I think its the only bit of software that I use from the CD (at least it's the only one I miss/need!!).

Erm..dunno...

Any chance you could look at the CD that came with it to see if there is a piece of software called e-wallet (I think) - and if so, would it be possible to e-mail me the setup file?!?

Thanks!!

Thanks Shaggy - I've looked there but it doesn't have any of the extra software that was bundled on the CD.

Have you tried any of the P2P networks for it ?

Just as an off site backup copy you understand

Hugh Jardon · 13 October 2005, 23:26

not been able to find my disk, it may be in the box for the pda in the attic as it is not in my software holder, will take a look at the weekend if you are not yet sorted

send me a pm if you still need it so to prompt me to search for it at the weekend

Richard B · 13 October 2005, 23:51

Dylan, I've found the CD but it only lists iPaq hx4700 on the label and I can't find e-wallet on it. Here's a folder list:

Richard B · 13 October 2005, 23:53

Here'a a thought though... if you do a Google search for e-wallet there are a number of shareware downloadable progs with that name... are you sure it came on the HP CD?

I have the cd fora 5455- if you want it - pm me and will send "it" to you.

Havnt done this for a long time - the only thing I think is on it is the instuction manual and active sync ( there is a later version from Ms - 3.8)

If I remember correctly - had to re-flash the ROM.

If you had not used it for some time-

- charge the battery
- remove the battery and put back / reset or "hard reset"
( I did propose to Hp about 2 years ago that a hard reset was "dropping" it on
a concrete floor- they thought that was funny)
It should not loose the programs.

Thanks everyone - Matt (mdt) has sorted me out - no problem!!

Eupa - the Ipaq has lost all of the software I loaded (not the ROM stuff, but the stuff on the RAM memory), the completely flat battery has effectivley done the hard reset for me - it doesn't even know who owns it anymore!!

I've retrieved the data from it thanks to Matt - and as I never really got on with the E-wallet thing - will now look for an alternative!!

I have a 3900 and there only appears to be a 30 day trial version of ewallet on the cd happy to send a copy to you if still required
