Compaq Aero 2190 Soft reset


RESETTING YOUR DEVICE

If your Compaq Aero 2100 Series locks up and stops responding due to a hardware or software malfunction, you may need to reset your device.
Your device can be reset in two ways, depending on the situation. A normal reset does not affect data that has been saved in memory. A full
reset erases memory contents and settings. Resetting your device does not affect the operating system.

Performing a Normal Reset

A normal reset restarts your device much like pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del restarts a computer.

To perform a normal reset:

1. Save all work.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the device as the device must remain on in order to reset.

2. Turn over the device.





3. Use the tip of the stylus to press the reset button.
4. The device automatically restarts.

1 Reset button

The Reset button is recessed inside the case of the device. Occasionally, some hardware or software malfunctions can
prevent the device from responding. To get the device working again, use the tip of the stylus to press the Reset button.

CAUTION: When you use the Reset button, you will lose any data that has not been saved.

Performing a Compaq Aero 2190 Full Reset - Hard reset


A full reset restarts your device and removes all information stored in RAM memory such as data files and system settings. Perform a full reset
if a normal reset does not solve the system lockup or failure.
NOTE: If you have saved your data using one of the backup procedures, it is possible to restore your saved data after performing a full reset.

To perform a full reset:

1. Disconnect the device from the AC Adapter, if using external power.
2. Turn over the device.
3. Remove both the main battery and the backup battery.
4. Wait at least 1 minute, then replace the batteries.
5. Turn over the device, then press the power button to restart the device.
6. Run through the Setup Wizard again to reestablish your system and calibration settings.
