maybe someone knows the way to solve this..
I am an old-computer enthusiast, meaning not that i'm but, but I like old hardware. Just got my hands on an Aero 1500.
It works kind of ok, ActivrSync letsme brwse it and install, everything is ok, but the screen has nothing on it... Backlight is ok, no visible damage, not even scratches etc, when I press gently I can see the liquid crystals making the "wave-effect", so it seems it is not cracked or alike... But I can see no characters, etc.. It even responds to clicking on it, with beeps...
After a few hours of recharging in the cradle, some VERY pale shades can be seen on the screen, I can only see that it is smtg like a bar in the upper region, and another one underneath, but in no position can I see anything more, it is VERY pale... Seems like I can even drag the lower bar up and down...

Anybody had similar problems? Can I reset the display or smtg? Is it set to extremely low contrast?

I tried to get a remote controlling application to the Aero, but no luck... Pocket Controller doesn't install on this one, it seems, and the others require me to start the server so I can then see the screen on my PC, and of course I cannot see anything on the PDA to b able to start the server...

Any hints, ideas?


thanks, and sorry for the long post, I wanted to give details right away...
