ipaq 5555 locks up whilst booting up

[nudone]

i hope this is a common and simple problem to fix as i expect it's going to happen again...

my ipaq 5555 will not go further than the initial boot screen where the ipaq logo comes up.

the loading bar goes right across the screen and then it just freezes.

i've tried removing the battery and doing a reset but nothing seems to help.

is there a way of reseting the ipaq back to it's factory settings so that everything is returned to normal or do i have to send it away to be repaired.

thanks for any help.

sorry about that.

i've luckily found the answer elsewhere - i was beginning to panic a bit.

just needed to do a proper reset it seems.

press the two outer buttons and reset at the same time. then plug it back into the power.

i can sleep ok tonight now.
