  Troubleshooting hardware and software with a Hard Reset

  Recently, I have been see a large number of issues that can be resolved, or at least try to be solved with a hard reset. A hard reset is one of the major steps in troubleshooting for a wide variety of issues. Issues such as a none responsive, computer keyboard do not start properly, software frozen, etc.

  Why a hard reset works:

  By performing a hard reset, you must remove all power from the computer. This will not occur when you restart or shut down the computer. Even by removing the battery briefly, there may be still some electricity stored in capacitors. When you do the hard reset it deletes the last drop of power from the computer. This clears all the RAM and basically force the computer to re-establish a connection between the BIOs and hardware. It will solve some problems wobbly a majority of the time, and therefore, why it is a great troubleshooting step base.

  If this does not resolve the problem, you are seen be sure to create a new thread and lists all the troubleshooting steps you have tried and also to give a detailed explanation on the issue that you are experiencing.

• How to do a Hard Reset on a HP laptop?

  Hard Reset allows you to solve problems of software and hardware

  This post looks at HP laptops.

   

  Hello, I will do a quick post on how to do a Hard Reset. A hard or forced Reset clears all the information in the memory of the computer which can restore the functionality. Reset your computer forces the system to erase and restore the software connections between the BIOS and hardware.

  Perform a hard or forced reset may fix the following:

  • Windows stops responding
  • Computer stops before Windows loads (no boot, a blinking cursor on a black screen, or errors related to the operating system not found or missing disk)
  • View suddenly turns off and remains empty
  • Software freezes
  • Keyboard unresponsive
  • The computer did not return from standby or sleep mode
  • An external device stops responding (turn off the power to the device in addition to perform the steps in this document)

  When you perform a hard reset, you must disconnect or remove all devices. You should start and test the computer itself and then reconnect a device at a time. To solve the high beginning or operational problem, you must run the wizard from the HP Support, or manually install the drivers all updated by Microsoft and HP.

  To perform a hard reset, use the following steps:

  To perform a hard reset, use the following steps:

  1. Turn off the computer.
  2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.
  3. Disconnect all external devices connected: displays of devices USB, printers, external storage, etc..
  4. Unplug the laptop AC adapter.
  5. Remove the battery from the compartment to batteries.
  6. Press and hold button power for about 15 seconds, remove any residual electric charge capacitors that protect memory.
  7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop. but do not connect peripheral devices.
  8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
  9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows normally , and then press the Enter key.
  10. After you have reconnected each peripheral device, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.

  Now, if your computer has a non-removable battery, these steps will not work. Instead, refer to use a Reset forced to solve Hardware and Software questions on laptop with a sealed Non removable b... .

  I hope that this solves any problem you can have that happen with your laptop.

• Pavilion dv7t-3000 mobile: stuck on the startup screen, must repeatedly perform a hard reset to fix

  When starting after a successful boot & use, the PC is stuck on the startup screen that is black with the logo blue & white HP in the middle and "press ESC for the start menu" at the bottom left. I have to perform a hard reset to get a normal startup. Everything works fine. I stop the PC from the start menu. At the next startup the PC hangs at the HP splash screen. A hard reset solves the problem, but the problem occurred on & repeatedly.

  Problem was solved by uninstalling a number of HP programs! Unfortunately I have lost the paper on which I wrote exactly what programs I uninstalled. If you find this issue that may arise on your notrbook, try to uninstall the HP programs

• Cannot perform a hard reset

  I'm the one who help friends and family on this from the unit for the first time that I came across a compact Z5 which has an error which may or may not associate with defective finger print registry.

  I was unable to perform a hard reset on it. Since I'm stuck on the screen of a PIN and the PIN on the memory did not work

  I tried several methods, including the * #* #7378423 #* #* method, which worked well with the other familys M5 model very well

  by pressing power and + /-will lead me nowhere, but the device has not been defined in dev or debug mode in the first placeWhen I try to connect to the pc, it force me to enter the pin, which I can't until I can put in place the factory reset, I failed again to the Google method window after.

  I would like comments on the methods of level higher than those located on love so ifixit.

  Thank you very much

  Hi @OJ2016,

  If I understand you correctly, you are unable to perform a reset of the phone factory because you can't after locking the screen, is that correct?

  You should try to perform a repair of software using PC Companion (for a guide step by step, click on the blue text), cela re - install the software of the phone and will remove all data. It is important that the phone is off and you don't connect it to your PC until later in the the repair guide when you are prompted to do so.

• Perform a hard reset when you are connected to the computer?

  Hello

  my iPod Touch G 6 seems to have momentarily buggy so I connected it to the computer, after he had died and needed a charge. He didn't start the loading of the iPod screen, so I did a hard reset while it was still connected to the computer. When he turned his back, I had to enter the password on the iPod to unlock the screen before you start synchronizing with the computer.

  Desire to do harm to the iPod? I accidentally unplugged before ejecting several times, so I'm just scared.

  Thank you

  Jesse

  You have no damage to the iPod. If you disconnect the iPod is communicating with the computer, then you can alter the iPod and a restoration will probably be necessary,

  Can help to clean the contacts of the cartridge.  To do this, open the door and remove the ink cartridges.  When the door is open, remove the power cord at the back of the printer while the printer is on.  Follow the steps described in the following link.  Start at step 2  Prior to re - connect the power cord to the back of the printer, make sure that the other end of the power cord is plugged into a wall outlet (not a surge protector, power or battery backup).  Does that help?

• BlackBerry Smartphones how can I perfom a 'hard reset' on the 4.3 version < OS from my BlackBerry?

  Hello world

  I recently encountered a problem on the 8800 and 8300 models, but more generally on all models, this version of the OS is older than the 4.3. Indeed, I noticed that the Wipe of the device functionality is not efficient enough to have your device in a clean state. For example, I have this app that I can't get rid of even after that I did a wipe on my device.

  There is also the /resettofactory command, but as explained in this article (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/documentLink.do?externalID=KB17215), it does not work on peripheral models this version of the OS is less than 4.3. So my question is:

  How to perform a hard reset on the device that the version of the OS is less than 4.3?

  Thanks in advance.

  Well well... your original post not mentioned that you had used the WIPE command in JLCmder, you did mention the Resettofactory command. They are not the same.

  I used successfully both JLCmder and JavaLoader wipe devices both less and more than 4.3. I don't know why it does not work for you.

  So... you're saying that even if you clean the machine using JLCmder or JavaLoader, this a rest app?

• Hard reset

  Recently, I bought a HP Pavilion x 360 a232nd.

  Tonight, I tried to update the software and the bios via the HP program on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, something went wrong during the update and the laptop froze.

  The screen is activated, the mouse cursor works, fan is running, but nothing happens.

  I can't turn off the laptop and I can not turn the screen off power (not even when I close the laptop).

  I can't find information on how to perform a hard reset on the x 360 Pavilion.

  Y at - there someone who can tell me what to do?

  Thanks for the reply.
  I found the information about the hard reset earlier, but the laptop could not be turned off, so a hard reset was not possible.

  Finally, the battery discharged and after that, I could recharge the battery and restart the laptop. It seems to work fine now.

• How to make than a Hard reset on the iPhone 6 s

  I would like to know how to do a hard reset on my iPhone 6 s. can someone guide me through this?

  What do you mean by a hard reset? This term is not the troubleshooting steps. There is no reboot, reset, restore from backup, restore to factory. A reset here is the sleep/wake and home together buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. No data is assigned to this procedure.
