Palm: Performing a Hard Reset on my Palm T|X

The only reason why I downloaded Windows Vista is for my Palm Tungsten T|X. It is not easy to install palm programs to my PDA using Mac OS X. So I’d rather have 2 OS in my macbook just to make it work and I guess to have the best of both worlds heehhe 🙂

First, how to do a soft reset.

A soft reset won’t let you lose any information. We usually just do this when your PDA hangs.

To do this, use your stylus to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back of your Palm Tungsten T|X.

Lastly, how to do a hard reset.

This time you want to erase everything on your handheld. If you want to have a clean start, just like what I did recently 🙂

1. Press and hold the power button.
2. While holding the power button, use your stylus to gently press and release the reset button inside the hole on the back of your Palm T|X
3. Wait for the Palm Logo to appear, then you can release the power button.
4. Press the up button when the message asking you if you want to erase all information appears.

Hope this helps.
