Although not Palm OS compatible, I thought I should tell you about my
Casio Pocket Viewer (PV-S250). It lives in my shirt pocket and needless
to say it ended up in the washing machine (after my loving wife cleaned
up after her inconsiderate husband!). After going through a full cycle
the shirt was hung up to dry and a solid object noticed in the pocket.
The flap cover had snapped off, such was the force of the wash cycle,
and water could be seen behind the screen. My wife telling me the bad
news over the phone in tears...I didn't hold out much hope!
After many attempts to get the cover open, I gave up and decided to
blow air from a camera lense blower/cleaner into the docking port and
battery area. After about two weeks I had almost given up hope but tried
the reset button and new batteries (for the hundredth time)...I touched
the screen and on it came asking for stylus calibration!!! After
calibrating I checked all files and programs, and not a single piece of
data had been lost!!! The light still works and the cover just snapped
back into place!!!
I'll never leave my clothes lying around again...
