New member. Forgive me if I've not yet learned your protocols. Have a problem with Jornada 720, recently bought off ebay. the screen calibration seems to go out of whack all the time. I click here and activate the screen over .......... here.
I recalibrate and it's fine. for a bit. then its back to (ab)normal. have also tried soft reset, with same result. am I missing something simple? or have I bought a pup?
all help and advice gratefully received. (meanwhile, I'll drive it from the keyboard)

Welcome to our forums.
Sounds like it's shot. Try a hard reset and see if it's still the same after that.

Did a hard reset last night and, so far so good, the screen is behaving - better than before, in fact. Fingers crossed. Now all I have to do is to sort out how to restore from the back up that I took. ActiveSync does not seem very keen to recognise it, but it was late and I was getting stressed. Try again this evening.
Thanks for your help!!

Great...you need to log on as a guest to restore the backup.

I saw that it said that in the instructions. thought it a bit odd but, can see that it would avoid inappropriate sync-ing and I tried it anyway. I'll put my (temporary) lack of success down to the lateness of the hour and try again later.
Thanks for the advice. You really know your PDAs!

Sorry Barrie, you've lost me on this one as I don't use the calender much. Can anyone else offer some advice?

An update. 4 weeks later and everything looks ok. But I've got another question and could not remember how to start a new post, so forgive me for tagging on the end of this one. I have reminders in Calendar that don't ring, flash or display a message, even though that's what is set. World Clock alarms ring fine. In fact, it SEEMS to be the case that I need to have a World Clock alarm set for the calendar alarms to ring. Is this possible? Or is there some other way that I'm inadvertantly switching off the calendar alarms?

Has this only occurred recently or has it always been like this?

A further update. I set up a test with and without a world clock alarm in the background and it makes no difference. The calendar alarm does not ring, nor does the world clock alarm. But I know the sound as a whole is not goosed, 'cos it rings etc when I'm selecting the alarm sound I want. Any ideas???

I can only recommend the same ol' same old....hard reset
