Reset the Computer
If the computer does not resume after pressing the Power button, or if
the computer or an application locks up, you may need to reset the
computer. The computer uses the configuration currently saved in
flash memory during the boot process. There are three ways to reset the
computer:
• Reboot
• Cold boot
• Clean boot
Reboot the Computer
You may need to reboot the computer to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system.
To reboot the computer, press the Power button and select Reboot
from the menu. The computer systematically shuts down, restarts, and
goes through the initialization process.
Cold Boot the Computer
In some cases where the computer completely stops responding, it may
be necessary to perform a cold boot or hard reset. Because cold booting
may result in data loss, use this method only if all other recovery
methods have failed.
1 Press the Power button to suspend the computer.
2 Remove the handstrap and the battery pack.
3 Press the Reset button in the battery compartment on the back of
the computer.
Note: Cold booting the computer does not guarantee that cached disk
data will be saved, so transactional data may be lost during the reset.
All other data, such as configuration and network settings, is
preserved.
