Reviving my old Palm V

Hi,

Palm V was released feb. 1991. OS 3.1 and i did upgrade it to OS 4.1 before.

Power	Built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery
CPU	Motorola DragonBall EZ MC68EZ328 16 MHz
Storage capacity	2 MB RAM
Display	3.2", 160x160 px backlit monochrome STN, 16-grayscale LCD touchscreen
Input	Touchscreen
Camera	None
Connectivity	IrDA, RS-232

I bought one around year 2000-2001.




still works :)

again, i did an upgrade to 4.1.2. i noticed that 4.1.2 seem to run slow on palm v. it shows some black screen when switching apps.

you will really need to use Zdigitzer that will let you recalibrate every soft reset.

WVC54GCA AD/DC power adapter

Hi,

Since 2 years ago i had problems with the adaptors. i have the old and new version.

Upto this day. 4 or 5 of the adaptors failed.


this is the AC/DC adapter that has 5v.



Anyways, first time one of them failed. i bought a universal adaptor and it's still working fine. when the other adaptors start to fail. i experimented and open the adaptor.

just by looking we can see the capacitor is bad. so i have it replaced.




new and old caps.

after replacement.




and it works!
