Reviving my Treo 650!

For almost a year now, my Treo 650 was in a "coma" -- it suddenly lost its sound. Being the kuripotechie that I am, I decided not to have it officially refurbished by Palm Singapore. During the time that my Treo was in limbo, it was relegated into an eBook reader/handheld gaming platform.

Until last Saturday... I was able to track down a stall at Goldcrest arcade in Glorieta Makati that repairs Palm PDAs cheaply. I had my Treo 650 fixed and for only Php800, my Treo 650 was fixed! The technician simply replaced my Treo's speakers (which incidentally looks like a watch battery) and the "operation" took less than half an hour.

Now, my Nokia E61i is "resting" while I'm re-acquainting myself with my Treo 650.

And here's a bonus: I was able to HotSync my Treo 650 with my Asus Eee PC. Interested in how I did it? See the step-by-step at NoypEee. :D
