I've just replaced the battery in mine (There's a great seller on e-bay for batteries for these if anyone's interested by the way)... I replaced the battery as the original one had finally given up the ghost. However - I now have a problem - I can't get windows to see the device (it wouldn't before I changed the battery either - I had hoped the new battery would solve this problem!)... This means, not only will it not sync (not really bothered about that!) but also I can't flash the ROM! I've tried copying the files to the SD card and using the flash from SD option in the update util on the device but it doesn't seem to do anything - comes up with a few messages acknowldging the card but that's it) so - please, does anyone know how to flash this using the flash from SD card option? I'm stuck and out of ideas! Thanks in advance, Rob. Thanks a lot for hosting the ROM here – I know this is a really old piece of kit, but no sense sending it to landfill just yet!

Bought it years ago as a straightforward PDA without any internet inclinations. Purchased a SPECTEC wireless card late last year and fought with it for a while. Seems to be working fairly well now although it hangs up pretty regularly. The IE program, I guess, runs amok now and again - it'll start scrolling and won't quit until it reaches the end of the page then I have to shut down and restart. Truthfully, I'm very much a novice at this but the unit seems to be pretty much all I need for browsing and email. There's a file that hotmail wants me to load in order to use it but I can't get it to download correctly. I just don't use hotmail. Gmail and Yahoo mail both work pretty well as is.

I've just ordered a new battery for my V37 (still waiting for it to arrive) and though I could give back a little by posting the following info: Purchased new battery from: http://www.ipod99.com/ (search for V37) Found Foldable keyboard driver for PPC2003 here: http://www.viewsonic.com.pe/support/drivers_mobile.htm#foldable Found 802.11b-SDIO driver for PPC2003 here: http://www.viewsonic.com.pe/support/drivers_mobile.htm#ppc_sdio I have not yet installed or tested these drivers from Viewsonic but will as soon as I receive my new battery and get PPC2003 installed on my V37. I will post again once I complete the updates. Cheers and thanks again for keeping the site going for so long. Hello Raybdbomb,

When I quited the upgrade mode, the normal V37 boot screen appeared and displayed "Please wait for 30 seconds." message, after that the "Image checksum error, please coldboot again!!" I am wondering if the original Viewsonic V37 PPC 2002 image will rectify this error. Please help!!
