Right after typing the text above, taking images and storing away my ultra mobile TX, the keyboard stopped working with the TX. This is what I checked:
* keyboard batteries are OK
* fully recharged TX
* TX is ON infra red receive, no power save scheme
* restarted the RX, warm reset, cold reset
* reinstalled keyboard drive 1.10 from Palm
* checked cables
I'm not getting any characters when I hit a key. I'm clueless as to what happened. In previous instances where the keyboard did suddenly not work anymore, a soft restart was all that was necessary to get it going again. But now I'm out of luck.
Is there anybody who's got an idea?
In my desperation I checked whether the infra red transponder is still working. My webcam can see infra red just like this:
http://henrik.nyh.se/uploads/ircam.jpgMy remote works just like the one in the picture above, but I don't see anything when I point the webcam towards the IR transmitter of the original Universal Wireless Keyboard. But then, I don't know how strong the IR light is and how fast it decays. Maybe I wouldn't see any flickering at all with the keyboard (the TV remote gives a very strong signal, though).
So, if anybody's out there with a webcam (especially with an iREZ K2) and a Universal Wireless Keyboard - could you please check whether the camera picks up a signal?
If it does I know that I need to fix that portion of my ultra mobile (but now dysfunctional) TX.
Thanks!
