Resetting the Mobile Computer

Windows CE 5.0 Devices

There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing
all running programs.
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM. Data saved in
flash memory or a memory card is not lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the
factory default settings.

mobile computer still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
