palm 130 with pbrick, also no response from the brick.

The brick powers on and beeps, just no communication with the powerbook or the
palm for programming.  Since it does this with both the palm and the powerbook,
I'm fairly certain that the IR tower isn't the problem.  What would be the most
common component that could go out in a 1.0 brick that might cause this?  I
would be willing to gamble and try to fix it on the component level if I knew
the most likely cause.

Tammy,

A couple questions...
1) Does the light on the IR tower flash when you're trying to communicate?
2) Did it ever work (did it work before, but stop, or is this the first time you've
tried communicating?)
3) What are you trying to communicate?  (download firmware, program...)
