Hard reset problems - TX

I had to do a hard reset on my TX because my stylus would not work. Now, after the hard reset, all I get is a screen that says "tap the center of the target." I have tapped the target probably 50 times and that screen won't go away. Any ideas?

Hi, since you got the screen asking you to Tap the targets, I am guessing you did the Hard Reset correctly but just in case.

If you use a Screen Protector.
Check that it is not stuck between the screen and the frame.
If it is pushing down on the screen then this will cause your device to respond to that false 'Tap'
Best to take the Screen Protector off to test properly.
Also, you may have some 'dirt' trapped between the screen and the frame.
Take a piece of stiff paper (business card works) and drag it between the screen and the frame and see if any dirt etc comes out, not too hard just drag.
Do another Hard Reset and if it is still not possible to get out of the target screen (Calibrate Touchscreen) then you have a faulty Touchscreen.
If you are under warranty contact Palm Support to get a replacement TX.
If you are not under warranty then I suggest you have a look at UsUsedPdaParts @

Don't worry they use NEW parts, they have an excellent reputation and fair prices

  • Hard reset problem and error message (sys 0505) (0, 841) Palm T/X

    I've read the various posts covering the error message and I believe I downloaded an incompatible program using the Addit site. While attempting to do a hard reset (following the user guide) I am unable to reach the screen showing the reset options. I receive the error message (sys 0505) (0, 841) in a box in front of the preferences screen after the palm resets (soft).  There is a Software icon that was placed on my opening page on the Palm, which when pressed shows the same error message. Any suggestions on how to remove the program or reset the Palm T/X would be helpful.Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    The error is caused by the installation of MyPalm, MyTreo, or MyHand on your device.  These were designed for phones.
    Delete any of the ones mentioned and the problem should go away.
    Your timing may be a bit off when trying to do the Hard Reset.
    To perform a Hard Reset: (Palm Knowledgebase article #887)
    While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
    You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.

    Nokia Care facilities use different software application Nokia Care Suite to re-furbish firmware, which also enables eMMC to be restored to "out of box" state if so required although may incur a charge so to do.

  • Hard reset problem

    Yesterday I wanted to hard reset my iphone 5. I kept pressing the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together until the Apple logo appears. However I noticed that when I reseting my iphone, slide to power off slider did not appear. after the reset finished and my iphone turned on, i looked at the usage and diognostics menu. I saw a resetcounter crash with the date. it says reset count:0, boot failure count:1 boot stage:255. What can it be related? My iphone does not have a real hard reset?

    Slide to power off does not appear with a reset, which is not "hard". Nowhere in any Apple documentation does Apple use the word "hard" with an iPod or iOS device reset.
    A reset is similar to a computer restart, which is not hard either.

  • Airtunes Hard Reset Problems

    Well I just did a hard reset on my Airport Express because my I couldn't seem to find the right password. The Apple support pages say that the password should be set to "public" but neither that nor anything else I can try (including blank) will work. The airport name was reset to "Base Station XXXX."
    A secondary issue is that it shows up twice now on my base Station Chooser.
    I'm running a PC with Windows XP if that matters, which i doubt it will.
    Thanks!

    I'm running a PC with Windows XP if that matters,
    I know this is the forum for Airport Express but you may get more PC folks on the "Airport for Windows" forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1014
    I am unfamiliar with that error code. Is that generated by the PC's Airport Admin Utility?

  • Droid 4 Hard Reset Problem

    I updated my phones software and it began to act super buggy so I tried to do a factory reset. That was around 1500 this afternoon. Four hour later it still has the same screen of the little android dude with the spinning polyhedron thingy. I have tried soft resetting it with the power button and volume key as well as restart the hard factory reset by using those same keys.
    I am not sure if the amount of time this is taking is normal or if I have done something super wrong. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks, Raine M.

    The problem sir is in the upgrade.  You don't receive this many complaints without there being a problem with the upgrade and possibly the phones - not the people owning the phones.  I too just upgraded to 4.3.3 (assumed "upgrade" meant "better") and now I have NO ringtone period.  In other words my phone doesn't ring - just vibrates.  If the upgrade worked properly then there would be no need to "reset on itunes"...you shouldn't have to.  It seems a little obtuse to upgrade and then have to reset because the upgrade is "faulty/defective/bugged" (REAL LIFE terms).  I had heard the horror stories of all the problems with 4.3.3 but I (dummy that I am) did it anyway.  Really is a pain to have a phone that doesn't ring...kind-of defeates the purpose of having a phone now doesn't it?  My phone was never jailbroke either as you suggested with "make-it-better-not-worse".  The "upgrade" took forever, and now it is going to take another 30 plus minutes to fix something that should have worked the first time.
    Do better Apple, you are making me sorry I choose to leave Rim and my Blackberry!

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

    VPN-User,
    Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.   
    Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those.   This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
    Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
    Thanks for your patience

    hope will never return. Thanks

    We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

    This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks.  I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

    Try a SMC reset:

  • Problems after hard reset

    OK, did not get my phone booting up, and I need my phone (especially the next days) so I did a "hard reset". Programs on E: drive was not uninstalled. But all on the C: drive. Maps installed OK. And everything seems to work except 3 things: 1) Nokia Store will not install (says "Cannot install!"). Tried installing the "notification support package" that fix store the time Nokia messed up (release an update to early). But that refuses to install as well. Anyone know why these will not install? What do they need that is not there? 2) "Social" install wrong. Didn't get one "Social" app i the list, but one for "Facebook" and one for "Twitter" and a bunch of widgets (that looked ok). But nothing is working, and I can't get to the settings (in the version I had before they were in the "Social" icon I do not have now....) 3) The Office apps are gone. Both "Quick Office" and the PDF-viewer. And that's a crisis!!! So do I have to wait till I get an answer from Nokia and have the reflash my phone again? Or is there anything I can to to fix these three problems (there's gotta be someone out there that knows what the problems are - you are so clever - can imaging no one has a solution :-) Well well... The phone is working again at least for now :-) Until next hang or till Nokia re-flashes it (hope they can re-flash it with Anna then, so I can get rid of this Belle trouble :-)

    WoW !!! You seem to have had a terrible time ? Usually when I do a hard reset and then a software update it all goes really smoothly, and the update works fine, which is what happened with Belle, and the whole thing is working smoothly and is very customisable !! Maybe you should try to re-install from Nokia Suite ?

  • A DIFFERENT problem with Maps after Hard Reset

    Was advised to hard reset my phone after it started going crazy with data which I did using the advised *#7something# method.
    Nokia Maps is fortunately still there upon reset. Phew. Although when I open it it starts downloading mad amounts of data.
    All my maps are gone. it appears my mass memory got kind of messed up in the reset - it deleted a lot of the data off the mass memory, but left some of it. Example - my music files all went, but the directory structure remained. My photos remained, but Nokia doesn't know when they were taken.
    I have tried connecting my phone to my PC and opening maps in Ovi Suite ... and it says 'cannot find maps or voice guidance files in your device', and I appear to have no option to re add them.
    There is an 'open help' link below the message ... which opens a blank help page in my browser. Useful.
    Can anyone help?

    This has occurred the entire time I have owned the iPod. I only discovered iLyrics about 2 months ago. I don't believe iLyrics is to blame.
    In general, the lyrics are in English and do not have special characters. This is a good suggestion though. I'm going to pay close attention to see if I can find any weird HTML bits showing up. It seems to occur about 70% of the time. I've assumed that it is completely random, so I'm going to pay closer attention to see if some songs work 100% of the time. Interestingly, it never goes wrong 100% of the time either. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 tries, but eventually I'll be able to scroll through the entire song.
    I'm getting the impression that this is NOT a common problem....

  • Hotsync problems after hard reset

    I have a Palm T/X it was turning itself on and running the battery down. I got on your fourm and found someone else was having the same
    problem which the advise was to do a hard reset. I followed this advise and to a certain extent it worked, my only problem now is I can't
    get the Palm to hotsync to my computer any more. Has anyone got any advise I have tried everything I can think of!!!

    Without really knowing the extent of the problems you are having it is hard to say.
    You can visit http://kb.palm.com solution id 2630 for the Hotsync troubleshooter guide.
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, I am going to need to know what problems you are having, what errors you are getting and what exactly occurs when you attempt a hotsync.
