Question
My HP iPAQ becomes very hot when I use it. What has
happened?
How do I reset my HP iPAQ?
Answer
It is normal for the HP iPAQ to get a little warm when you use
it continuously for prolonged periods, especially when making
calls of very long duration or placing a heavy demand on the
HP iPAQ when using GPS. Your HP iPAQ might also get a little
warm when you charge it.
You might need to reset your HP iPAQ if it does not respond
to your pressing a button or tapping on the screen. You can
perform a soft reset or a hard reset, also known as a factory
restore, on your HP iPAQ.
A soft reset stops all running programs, but does not erase any
programs or saved data. Be sure to save any unsaved data
within a running program before performing a soft reset.
A hard reset or factory restore clears all the user-installed
settings, programs, and data, and restores your HP iPAQ to
factory settings. Be sure to save any important data to an
external memory source before performing a hard reset or
factory restore as all your data will be erased.
CAUTION:
If you perform a hard reset or factory restore, you
will lose all the data stored on your HP iPAQ.
To perform a soft reset:
●
Remove and re-insert the battery in your HP iPAQ. No
data is lost during a soft reset. After a soft reset, turn on
your HP iPAQ.
To perform a factory or hard reset:
●
Hold the
(Answer/Send key),
Camera keys when you turn on the HP iPAQ.
The HP iPAQ restarts and turns on. If the hard reset is
successful you will see the words Clean boot when the
HP logo appears.
In addition, you can tap Start > Settings > System >
Factory Restore. Follow the instructions on the screen
to perform a factory restore or hard reset.
