  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.

• How to perform a hard reset.

  Although he can't be guaranteed to solve printing problems, a Hard Reset can solve many of them and is often a good first step.  Try following the steps in order.

  1. Unplug all cables and cards of memory in the printer.  Unplug the power cable, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.
  2. Unplug the other end of the power cord.
  3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
  4. After 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet ( not a surge protector or battery backup ).
  5. Connect the power cord to the back of the printer.
  6. The printer should automatically feed back upward.  If not, turn it on with the power button.
  7. Try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.
  8. Connect all other cables to the printer.

  If this solved your problem, no other troubleshooting is necessary.  You can take additional measures if necessary, but it is often a good first step.

  It is recommended that the printer be connected directly to a wall outlet to ensure a constant level of power.  Sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

  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.

  Thank you

  Makes me hungry.

  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?

• 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.

• 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.

• Hard reset in place Dell Pro unlocked Intl

  Hello world!. I bought an unlocked device Dell place pro from ebay, so far, it has been a great phone, but it came in English and I speak Spanish mainly. I read somewhere that all wp7 devices come with some languages by default factory, including Spanish, but some carriers are limited to English language and that, if a hard reset is performed, the languages become selectable. so, here is my question:

  If I do a hard reset to my place of unlocked dell pro, it locks again? and I'll be unable to use a foreign sim card that I use at the moment?

  Please, if you can help me, I'm very happy, I'm terrified to do it and reset my phone in a State of brick. get an another Unlock code is almost impossible according to other post I read here.

  Carlos.

  Well, I finally did a hard reset on the phone and it is always open, updates are still there but the new language options were nowhere to be seen.

  In addition, some Dell help would have been very nice.

• How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM?

  How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

  Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

  Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

  Here are the usual causes of slow:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

• How to reformat the hard drive and do a "clean" install

  A recent virus attack, my computer has lost some files of the operating system.  With the help of the Lim has provided the recovery disk, which offered ' upgrade/repair' or a 'new installation '.  I chose ' install new ', actually I found many of my files are still there - that means that if a virus has escaped "Detection / removal" will always be there.

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.
