Sounds like the Firmware is corrupted. Contact RM and see if they have an OS firmware to reinstall the Firmware. My experience with older models when you get the WINCE (Windows CE) then the firmware install is a 50/50 shot it will normally again.
I have not seen the 720 corrupt the firmware, so this is a new one.
You would want the FULL OS Firmware. This will include the Firmware plus files. Count on anything you have saved on the 720 as lost.
I will look around my computer to see if I have the 720 Firmware install.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks,
MarkSilverShadow Thanks this. -
This person says he has a TND 710 not the 720, maybe firmware is getting a little bit dated. -
In my opinion I would not try to recover it. I know in the older models if you did not do a Safe Dismount of the device from the computer the handshaking via the USB cable from the device and the computer you stood the chance of corrupting the Firmware.
Thanks,

This is new. Was getting the other TND 730 ready to take to the wife by making sure it was updated. After installing the update that was available I shut down the dock then turned the unit off before disconnecting from my pc, upon turning the unit off I got the loud DING, same one you get when the unit crashes, then it shut down and I unplugged it. I reconnect to PC and unit started as normal so did a D/R and found 21 files that needed fixing, did that and shut everything down again and once again got the DING when turning the unit off before disconnecting from PC.
Now, the unit hasn't been used, have kept it updated and charged so why would 21 files need fixing and why am I getting the Gong when shutting it down.
Am going to be leaving here in an hr or so to meet her on the road to take her the other unit as her's is crashing quite regularly.
Thanks

PM me your Name/address (no PO boxes) and I will find the 710 OS firmware, but again with the note that this may not fix the issue.
Thanks,
