Those PDA systems are great for mobile chess. Can't you get a replacement Palm unit on an auction site. I still use PocketFritz on my HP Pocket PC even though I have iphone and android devices. If there is any consolation in the fact that Chess Tiger is on the iOS store and I imagine you could get an old early generation iOS device like iPod touch to play it.

I share your pain. After reading your post, out of curiosity I brought
out my Pocket PC after about a decade. In spite of several hours on
the charger, it too is dead as a door nail. Cosmetically it's like new, and
I'll leave it on the charger for a while longer. I'll give the battery contacts
a clean and keep my fingers crossed.

I was using the wrong charger. The pocketPC is fine, although it's
got no programs to speak of on it...
