How to Troubleshoot a Dell Axim X30
With a touch-screen interface and Windows Mobile 2003 platform, Dell Axim X30 is a wonderful PDA device. This personal digital assistant device helps the user do multiple things at the same time. Although the latest boom of smartphones has almost made PDAs obsolete, it is still very hard to question their worth.
Just like all other digital devices, the Dell Axim X30 is not flawless. Over a period of time it loses speed and starts creating some problems for the user. So, it is important for the user to troubleshoot the device regularly in order to prevent the problem from getting bigger.
A Dell Axim X30 user does not need to take his/her device to a technician. With a few very simple moves, an individual can bring the PDA device back to normal and solve many common issues with ease. These troubleshooting steps do not involve opening the device – a move that voids the warranty.

It is the time to reset the device manually. A simple reset could easily help you avoid multiple common problems, such as slow loading and freezing.
Press the reset button with the help of X30's stylus. You will easily find the button on the back of the device. After a screen flicker, your Dell Axim X30 will power back on. -

If the reset trick does not work, you are required to perform an ActiveSync. It is a simple operation that backs up the entire data as well as reinstalls the lost files. The ActiveSync is a must, especially when your device is acting strange after losing some important files.
The procedure is not hard to perform. All you need to do is to launch the ActiveSync software and perform the sync operation after connecting your device to the computer through the bundled sync cable. Once the process is completed, disconnect your X30 by plugging out the cable. -

Another troubleshooting trick is restoring the device. It is the best solution, if none of the aforementioned steps fail. A restore takes the device back to factory settings by deleting all the current data. Press the power and reset button for a couple of seconds at the same time to perform the restore operation.
