USB Sync Fixer - Some Palm M500's and M505's have sporadically quit Hotsyncing. One way to solve this issue is to drain the battery on the Palm until it is absolutely dead. Then charge the Palm back up and it will Hotsync again.
While this does not work on every Palm, we've found it works on about 8 or 9 out of every 10 Palms.
This FREE utility will drain your battery for you, speeding up the process for you. It should drain a full battery in about 3 to 4 hours. This program also has instructions on it as to what you are to do during the procedure.
This should get your USB Hotsync back operational. This is not guaranteed in anyway to get your Hotsync operational again. However, its about a 90% chance that it will work.
If your Palm will not Hotsync then you will need to get someone to download it and install it onto their Palm and beam it to you, or if you can do an Infared Hotsync or Serial Hotsync, then you can get this program on your Palm that way.
This is a handy program to have even if you haven't run into this issue with your Palm yet. If this still doesn't get your Palm Hotsyncing then we suggest you call Palm Technical Support for further assistance.
