We consider the associated linear problem for a q-analogue of the fifth Painleve equation (qPV). We identify a lattice of connection preserving deformations in the space of the connection data for the linear problem with the lattice of translational Backlund transformations for qPV, hence, show all translational Backlund transformations possess a Lax pair. We shall show that the big q-Laguerre polynomials, and a suitable generalization, solve a special case of the linear problem, hence, find solutions to qPV in terms of determinants of Hankel matrices with entries consisting of rational or hypergeometric functions.
