How do I reset the netBook?

If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, move to the System screen and select the List open files command from the File menu. Select the program from the list and press the Close file button.

If this does not work, or if your netBook appears to have “locked up”, you can always perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netBook while preserving most of your information.

It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netBook do not appear to respond, or if the netBook does appear to switch on and you are sure the batteries are good (especially if the contrast adjustment still appears to work), but the screen is otherwise blank.

Troubleshooting 201

∙To perform a soft reset: gently press something like an unfolded paperclip into the reset hole, above the backup battery location.

After a soft reset, any changes to open Word or Sheet files (or OPL programs) will be lost. Your other files on the Internal disk will almost always be safe.

It is possible (although unlikely) that a program failure causes the reset to lose the information on the Internal disk; it could even prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will have to perform a “hard reset”.

∙To perform a hard reset: remove all power sources, ie the mains adapter and the main and backup batteries.

Important: A hard reset resets the netBook completely, and all information on the Internal disk will be lost.
