Thanks a lot guys. Sorry for the delay in reply, have been busy in the hospital. I did manage to trickle charge my plam to 100% ( as you suspected the battery had gone completely flat). Since then I have been charging with the 6V 1A adapter, which is slow but enough to top up on a daily basis. But after reading your replies, I will go and ask him to make a regulated adapter. That is till I get a travel charger.
Just another question please. What is a good free program for uploading offline html pages from pc and viewing on zire. I have tried to use plucker, but it is a bit tedious. Also a lot of medical programs 'insist' on staying in the hard drive of palm, i.e. cannot get transferred to sd card. Is there a program which will enable me to put these on the sd card?
Thanks
cheers
