DMA2100 how to factory reset in Windows 7?

I've recently purchased a DMA2100 and have had it successfully talking to my Windows 7 64-bit media center PC. The problem I'm having seems to be a variant of a couple of other problems I've seen on here but not quite the same.
I have no problem connecting using my DMA2100 through a HDMI cable, but get no picture at all when connecting it through either composite of S-Video. Given that I bought the DMA2100 to use with my old analogue set, this kinda sucks!
A previous poster managed to get his DMA2100 to output a picture through composite by doing a factory reset by going through the menus of Vista Media Center. I'm hoping the same will resolve my problem, but cannot figure out how to do this (or how to change video settings) using the Windows 7 Media Center interface.
Solved!

Hi,
Have you double-checked if your TV was set to the right TV input? Is there an existing piece of device that work on the same analog cable and TV input? If there is, then you may proceed on the next step, which is resetting the DMA2100".
Here’s how:
Unplug the power cable from the extender and while it’s unplugged, press and hold the reset button on the back of the extender.
While pressing and holding the reset button, re-plug the power cable and keep holding still the reset button way down to 10-15 secs then let it go.
Wait for the extender to completely reboot.
When the Main Menu appears, select Settings. (If you’ll get into the Windows media center automatically, you need to exit out first from the interface to see the main menu. Just go to TASK, then EXIT)
Press the right arrow on the remote control and select General. 
Use the up and down arrow on the remote control to select Reset to factory defaults.
Note: Since the extender is working with the HDMI connector, then the extender needs to be connected through the HDMI to your TV just to perform the reset. Right after the reset, you may then reconnect the analog cable to the extender. Use one TV cable at a time to avoid conflict of signal from the extender.
Also, you might need to update the media center extender’s firmware. Click here on how to do the update.

  • How to Factory Reset a Windows 7 PC Without Removing the OS?

    I just inhertited an older Window 7 Toshiba PC (I'm not sure exactly what make, although I know it's a Satellite). There are a lot of programs, files, settings, and what not from the previous owner. I want to wipe every last bit of data on the computer; however, I do not want to uninstall the Windows 7 OS as I do not have the discs to reinstall it nor do I have any way of obtaining them. How can I factory reset the PC while leaving the OS intact?

    Go to Start, Search and type PC and click on PC Diagnostic Tool in the results above.  Here you will find all the details about your computer. In any future communications here, give us the Model Name, Part Number and Operating System shown there.
    Go to Start, Search and type Disk Management. If you show a partition there on the first part of your HDD of about 1.5GB and another partition at the end of the HDD of about 15GB, you have HDD Recovery built in the HDD and you can recover to out-of-box using that.  The procedure is in your User's Guide.  Start, Search, type User's Guide and click on User's Guide.  Look under "Recovery of Internal Storage Drive".
    If for some reason that procedure doesn't work, you can order free recovery media HERE (scroll down) from Toshiba for a shipping and handling charge. This procefdure is also in your User's Guide.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?

    QuestionHow do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?
    AnswerNote: This article describes resetting a Windows 10 computer to factory defaults. You can read separate articles on performing something similar in Windows 8 or Windows 7.
    A system reset will remove your installed applications and rebuild the Windows 10 system files.
    You can choose whether you want to keep your files or remove everything.
    If you choose to keep your files, your applications will be removed, system settings will be reset, and Windows files will be rebuilt. Your data and documents will remain intact on your computer.
    If you choose to remove everything, your data and documents will also be removed.
    To learn what other recovery options are available to you in Windows 10, read the following article:
    What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
    To perform a reset, follow these steps:
    Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
    Select Update & security and then Recovery.
    Under Reset this PC, select Get started.
    Choose either Keep my files or Remove everything. If you choose to remove everything, you might be given the choice of resetting all drives and partitions or resetting only the one on which Windows is installed. Choose the option you prefer. Not everyone will see this selection.
    You might also see additional options depending on whether Windows 10 came pre-installed on your computer or if you upgraded to Windows 10. Choose the options you prefer and follow the prompts to complete the reset.
    You can also watch this video explaining how to do this:

    Hi there,
    A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Is factory reset for Windows 7 gonna restore my BIOS too to its original state when I bought it?

    I am using Windows 8 now, I bought my laptop in JULY 2012. It came with Windows Home Premium and I have the recovery disks for Windows 7. I plan to factory reset my laptop because of my disappointment with Windows 8 and supprt for Windows 8.
     I want to know that if the 'Factory Reset' will restore the laptop BIOS to its original state. I mean I have my BIOS updated to the latest. I want it to go back to its old state. Also how long does the Factory Reset takes? I own HP DV6T 7000 Quad edition with 32gb mSSD.
    Intel RST doesn't work no matter what, my HDD is shown in non-RAID and there is no way I can change it to RAID. So my last option is to try the Factory Reset and see if it helps. I am pretty sure  IRST will work only if my BIOS is restored to the original state along with everything so it starts detecting my HDD in RAID.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    A factory image recovery will not affect the BIOS version or its current settings. The amount of time that the factory image recovery takes wil depend on which type of recovery media you have. If you have usb recovery media than it will probably take perhaps thiry minutes. It you use a recovery disk set then the recovery could take a few hours to complete.
    Once you start the recovery do not touch the keyboard.
    Make sure that the wireless is turned on before you commit to the recovery.
    Best regards,
    erico

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    You'll have to login to iCloud.com, from any computer, locate, then erase your phone. Once done, restore from backup, if you have one.
    That's the only way for you to fix this.

  • How to factory reset IPAD-1?

    i couldnt find the option to reset my ipad to factory settings. any help?

    You should be able to reset it back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings. But before you do that have you copied all iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - not all content types can be redownloaded in all countries, so if there is anything on your iPad that you may want to keep then you should copy it off

  • 4500 vss how to factory reset both switches

    I need to factory default a pair of 4500 switches in VSS mode. 
    This is how I plan to do it. 
    1.  on switch 1  execute redundancy force-switchover
    2. write erase on the switch 2 and reload
    3. this should failover to switch 1
    4. write erase in switch 1
    Is there anything I missed? Should I remove 
    Maybe I should do a switch convert mode stand-alone on both switches and then do  a write erase on both?

    1.  Configure the config-registry to 0x2101.  Reboot the entire chassis.  
    2.  Once the chassis reboot, both cards should boot up without reading the startup-config file. 
    3.  Go into configuration mode and change the config-registry to 0x2102.  
    4.  Exit configuration mode and erase the configuration using the command "wr erase".  
    5.  Don't forget to delete the VLAN.dat file.

  • How to factory reset Macbook Air with Mavericks

    I work at a pawn shop and have a Macbook air with OS X 10.9 installed.  I need to be able to reset this, so the previous owner's information is not compromised before selling it.  When powering on the Mac I am unable to use any boot commands to get to terminal or recovery options because a screen with a lock and a password entry box show up.  How can I bypass this to reset the mac?
    Thanks

    I have addressed the issue with the other team members going forward, but I still have potentially 1-4 months of affected inventory...which is potentially a huge financial loss. 
    I don't doubt that this particular machine was tested before it was purchased, but if the general assumption was, passwords are no big deal, we can just boot to recoery mode and reset the mac later, then this would have been no cause for concern. 
    either way, I have to find away around this for my current inventory.  I will get some torx screw drivers and try removing the ram.
    thank you

    I can't figure this out and there isn't much documentation on the subject online. The reset button just resets the device even after holding it for 10+ seconds and there is nothing in the CLI.

    Nick Weaver wrote:We have access to the CLI but don't have permissions because we don't know the enable password since we bought the device from another company. I only have the entry level commands and there are no write or erase commands.

    Note that this WILL be a disruptive process, so if the device is in production, schedule downtime accordingly.
