i have this shitty ass pda called a Royal daVinci.

the problem is: i have all my phone numbers and other misc important stuff in there. the battaries were running low after having it for like a year so i took out the old ghetto battaries it came with and replaced them with new duracell AAA battaries and now it won't work... it just simply won't turn on. I put back the old battaries and they don't work either anymore...

any ideas how i can get my data back or get this thing to turn on long enough for me to write down all my info?

pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls

Have you got the batteries in the right way round?

most pda's when has gone without so much power (usually 2-3 days) will cause you to lose all your data.

as much as that may suck that is not my main concern at the moment, my main concern is not that my data was lost but that for some reason the battaries are not giving power to the pda..... so my primary problem is turnin this junk on. grrr i hate life.

Check the battery connectors, they might have some dust or been slightly moved and they arent getting a good connection. If all else faisl contact the manfacturer and see if they have an FAQ for this..
