Hi,

I have an iPAQ 5500, wich ran familiar for almost two years. Than I had to
go back to Windows Mobile, because I had to use Skype at that moment. I
tried to install Windows Mobile, which went fine, but it kept restarting my
device.
Then I tried to restore my original bootloader, but when it was ready, it
wouldn't boot anymore. I tried for three months now, with resets, battery
removal etc. Search all kinds of forums, but still haven't got it working.
I think I have to flash my bootloader with the JTAG connectors, but I'm not
experienced with electronics and soldering (my hand's a bit shaky too..).
Then I read about this email address, and the possibility that someone could
fix this for me. I love to have my iPAQ back with GPE, but for me, it's not
worth a lot of money (read HP fix), because I don't use it for work, just to
experiment with linux. It would be wondeful if someone could help me out. If
I can send my device to someone who could fix this, I would be gratefull.

Thanks in advance,
