Title: Hard reset does not work
Post by: Flowmoon on December 19, 2003, 09:14:15 pm

OK, I want to reset my Z to factory settings because of lots of problems which I cannot solve (eg: the USB cradle connection is gone, the CF card is lost during a few seconds after each suspend, my new SD card does not mount etc etc) -but now the hard reset does not work either!  
After pressing the reset button in the battery compartment the Z reboots all right but everyting is still in place afterwards: time and installed applications, but also all problems.

Is there another way to restore the Z to factory settings? Eg, what does this \"format\" option in the maintenance menu do, would it help to use that?

The format option should restore it for you

yippee... it worked! I got a clean system back, and my SD card mounted bright and shining! Thanks Greg2, now I can start working on the other problems I was struggling with.

How do you get to the maintenance menu so that you can format as my reset does not work either.
