Palm Vx Will Not Turn ON – Troubleshooting

Usually the Palm Vx requires a three-hour charge before you can use it. However, if you have charged it for that long and it still does not work, then you need to confirm that the charger adapter is operating. Is there power going to the cradle, and does the cradle light illuminate.
