Hard reset - hold down both 'soft keys' and press the reset button.

Should display option to reset (press 0) or to exit (x i think) although mine wouldn't even respond to a hard reset. Had to get a replacement from O..... good luck!

tried hard resetting, didnt work......

you're not going to believe this, but i plugged it into the charger for the last time, the light was still red etc.

i figured what the heck, either way its dead and im going to get a replacement.

i then gave it fairly hard thump.

the red light disappeared. i thought to myself, oh crap, i've really killed it.

then i reset it............. IT BOOTED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and all my info still intact......brilliant.....im still going to try and get a replacement when i get back, but thank goodness.

and here i was thinking the last computer to respond to physical violence was the old 486'es hehehehehe
