This chapter covers troubleshooting information for the Compaq Aero 8000 H/PC Pro.
3.1 Resetting the Aero 8000
During a severe system lockup or when a malfunction cannot be corrected any other way, you may
need to completely reset and restart your device. Your Aero 8000 can be reset two different ways,
depending upon your situation and the action that is called for: normal reset, which does not affect
data that has been saved in memory, and full reset, which erases memory contents and settings.
3.1.1

Performing a Normal Reset

A normal reset restarts your Aero 8000 much like pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del restarts a computer. To
perform a normal reset, follow these steps:
1. Save all work (if possible).
2. Close the lid and turn over the device.
3. Using a paper clip, press the reset button and the device automatically restarts.
