Default PDA with a bad smell...

Let me guess, you bought at a police auction - it was found on a corpse?

I was planning on buying a new battery I'm hoping that is the case if
not I'm going to throw up every time I smell this foul odor.

It's a Sony Clie Peg - T615C Sliver I read on the web this PDA was
discontinued beacuse it kept on breaking.

If it was shoplifted why would it smell so bad?

In which case it smells very much like fish.


Maybe it was shoplifted.
