Audible notifications gone on Dell Axim X59v running WM 2003 SE with Spb Pocket Plus v4

Have had this device since they came out (3 or 4 years ago???). Have always used audible notifications for calendar, alarms, and screen taps.

Have tuned them on and of via (1) the speaker volume icon in the task bar and/or Start/Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications.

Any ideas as to why this has happened?

Does anyone know if Dell still services their PDAs? If not, do any of the computer super stores, or even neighborhood computer stores, work on them?

TIA
