Obviously what you describe is an ESD issue, so there's no need upgrading
your m515.
An electrostatic discharge results in 'freezing' the handheld's USB port
ability to send the data, so that when you launch a hotsync, either via the
cradle's button or the palm itself, it won't launch on the computer because
it receives no data.
The only way to to troubleshoot this issue, and to turn back the palm to its
manufacturing setup, is to completely drain its battery by forcing the
handheld to stay on, preferably at maximum brightness. This process is
detailed in the knowledge library article I gave you he link.
Once more, should you need to backup your data before proceeding, you will
have to use a serial cable/cradle (ESD does not affect the palm's serial
port) or a backup SD card.
