  2. Hi everybody,

    I own a Tungsten T5 and I wonder if the vibra mod would also be possible for the T5. Since the T5 has a slightly different board layout I could not find the pin for connecting the vibration (to find the VCC was easy). How can I find it for the TX? Trial and Error, measurement? I took a picture of my dismantled T5. Can anybody help me?

  4. Ok, I did it and now vibration alarm and the microphone work with my Palm TungstenT5 fine. I wrote a short description of how I did it. You can access it here:

  5. How can i uninstall the drivers in case of non funtion?

    Thanks

  6. non-polarize vibra motor will not work correctly with your design describe in this site http://www.koehnencs.de/T5-vib-mic-mod.html. You can try pin six as your VCC and not the battery positive
