A quick Google search suggests the Qtek 1010 is just a rebranded XDA, so:

For a soft reset, there's a hole at the bottom right which you can tap using your stylus.

For a hard reset, it's a bit trickier. There's a much smaller hole along the bottom right that has a "battery disconnect" icon. You need to unscrew the stylus and use the small paperclip-sized tip to insert it into that hole. Once doing so, the unit will turn off immediately. Wait about a minute and insert the small tip into the hole again. The unit should then turn back on with no data.

I find that hard reseting does not delete everything. There are still bits and pieces in the database.

Nope, no need for power on 39xx series - just hard-reset my 3970 this week WITHOUT power....
don't mean to be pedantic, but this thread is of a technical nature for those seeking to carry out the fear-inducing task!!!

Default COMPAQ 2180

I recently inherited a Compaq 2180 Aero that was sitting in the charger for who know how long.

The problem I am having is that the unit is stuck on the Windows CE Welcome Screen. It states to press the "Action" button to continue. I have done this and nothing happens.

I have followed the manuals instruction to hard reset the unit by removing the batteries, but still the same problem.

I have also soft reset it. The unit resets and then ends up back at the Windows CE screen.

DOes anybody have any ideas or pherhaps know how to hard reset this unit?

There is no switch inside the battery door on my rx3700... So this confused me a bit until I realized that the HP iPaq 3700 is a different unit than the Hp iPaq rx3700.

For the rx3700 my manual says to hold down the far left and far right buttons while using the stylus to reset in the normal place.

press and hold the tiny hole on the bottom of your left with your stylus and at the same time, press the power button so that the dafault setting can be loaded. that's all. :devilboy:
