I love my T3 nad have been using Palm for a few years now starting with a 505, then a 515 and now a T3 but I'm not technically proficinet, hence this post.
After a year or so of faithful, loyal service my T3 has crashed. it began when I loaded some new docs into DTG. I'd upgraded to v6.08 and had had no problems but this time a Fatal Alert message appeared on screen and I had to do a soft reset to clear it. So I tried reloading and the same thing happened. Then the machine started resetting on its own when the card was removed or the machine was removed from the cradle or any change was made. Finally, I tried a hard reset and reloading everything one by one but each time I got the Fatal Alert message with a different program.
By this time, I was tearing my hair out and then the house was hit by lightening which fried the hard drive on my computer & damaged the hot sync cradle so it is just dead. When I tried to recharge the T3 with a travel cable, it blew that. Even so the T3 itself still works even though I now only have the original programs and no access to my data and 3rd party programs. So now I need to start from scratch.
I had these programs on the T3:
DTG v6.08
Megalauncher
Contacts 5
Agendus 7
Book Bag Plus
Splash ID
Splash Shopper
1 Button Pro
Slap
Smartlist v2
MarkBook
UTS
Colorise
Geeksounds
I had also loaded the T3 update patch but I don't suppose that that is still loaded in the machine after the last hard reset.
The T3 has been collected by the insurabnce assessors to see if it can be saved or not and I should have it back next week. What I want to know is this: what programs/utilities/steps do you recommend I take to avoid the Fatal error message and automatic soft resetting and total loss of data in the future. I particulalry want to take DTG out of ROM and upgrade without any conflicts.
Thanks for reading this far. Any advice gratefully received.
