Miix 2 10 freezing - hard reset not working

Hello! For the second time in a few days my miix 2 10 decided not to wake up again. The windows button makes it vibrate. But no reactions beside that. Last time the error disappeared after some time, I dont' know why. Would not be a big deal to me beside this fact: Right now I am not able to perform a hard reset. What are the options to do a hard reset? Is it pressing the power button for more than 10 seconds? Does not work. Pressing both volume and power button? Does not work. What to do? Any help is greatly appreciated! Kind regards,Jan

Got my Miix 2 10" on Monday 15. Performed a lot of Windows uptates, unistalled Mc Affee and connected a Bluetooth mouse. Then the tablet lost contact with the keyboard and track-pad. Tried to restore Windows, but got a message telling me no recovery partition was found. Then the screen went black. The tablet did not recognise the power switch, and it was impossible to reset or switch it off. Pressed the button for more than one minute. Funny thing is the mouse pointer from the bluetooth mouse moved around, but nothing else was visible. I could see in my router that the tablet was connected to my Wi-Fi, so it was not completely dead. Left it over-night and tested it in the morning, but still not able to wake it up or shut it down. Back from work in the evening it had obviously drained the batteries, and wake up normally when connected to the charger. When the batteries was fully charged I switched it off (not sleep). It was not possible to switch it on again without using the charger. I have not been able to replicate this, but it is not a good feeling to have a mobile unit that can lock itself up completely, or not wake up without external power.... Windows log files indicates that it shut down because of power loss about 15 hours after the initial freeze.The bluetooth mouse was installed with standard Windows driver. Tablet is European / Nordic version manufactured 12. jan 2014. Bios is 95CN12WW, 25.12.2013. I do really hope Lenovo manage to sort of the trouble with this tablet. Its quite nice, and I like it except the scary feeling of being stuck with a brick.

HotSync won't update...hard reset not work

I was not getting my updates from several HotSyncs on my TX. Was receiving low memory messages, so I did several resets to no avail. I eventually did the hard reset and all of my data was removed. When I attempted to HotSync to restore the info, my laptop did not recognize the TX (device). I reloaded all the Palm Desktop software on the laptop and still no results. Where did I mess up? Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

What happens when you try to sync? Do you get any error messages??
If you are getting the error message, "the connection between your device and the desktop cannot be established, please check your setup and try again" here is what you need to do.
Do you see the hot sync icon (circle with red and blue arrows) on the bottom right of your computer screen? Is there an arrow with the option to "show hidden icons"? If you do not see it there, hot sync will be disabled and you will keep getting that message (the connection between your device and the desktop could not be established...). To enable the hot sync program once again, click on Start > Programs/All Programs > Palm OS Desktop/Palm One > Hot Sync Manager. It will take about 5-10 seconds and the icon will be there once again. Now the sync should go through. When you begin sync'ing, the computer will prompt you, "there is no user name associated with this account..." select your old user name and then all the info will come back onto your palm.
I hope this works for you!

Are you sure you are doing it correcly?
A hard reset is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.

Airport Express Base Station - hard reset not working?

Hi... I have 4 airport expresses, so it's not like I'm inexperienced... having reset them many times. I've had this one about a year. Hard reset and soft reset are happening (Airport got renamed from the name I gave it to "Base Station..") but I can't configure it. It asks me for a password. I've tried public and just about any other password that I might have previously given it... and I get an Error Code: -4. "An error occured while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again."
Does anyone have a clue as to what might be going on, or how to work around this? I don't have a usb to usb handy.
Thanks, --- Alain

Thank you, Bob. Switching WEP 40 Bit worked like a charm. I'll make sure and speak to FIOS about the level of security. Now, excuse me while I go and rock out in my garage with AirTunes.

Just for variety - Hard Reset not working anyone ?

Anyone else having problems with actually getting their Time Capsule to Hard Reset (never mind the reasons for needing to reset in the first place!) ?
Depressing the reset button for 5, 10, 15 seconds doesn't produce amber blinking on the unit I'm just trying to set up, and doesn't appear to cause any changes either. And whilst depressing the reset whilst plugging in/powering on does produce fast amber blinking, once the unit eventually decides to get to a point where I can access it with Airport Utility, it does not appear to have reset to factory defaults, it still has my disk and network name, and passwords.
Anyone else experienced this ?
The above aside, I did initially get it to raise a satisfactory Airport network for a while, but then just before I attempted an initial backup of one of the several machines it's supposed to be serving, I accepted a prompted firmware upgrade to 7.3.2, and from that point on, problems: Airport Utility couldn't find it for a while, disk intermittently wouldn't mount even over ethernet, etc,etc. Noticed on the board that some were feeling 7.3.2 was dodgy, so downgraded to 7.3.1 again (what it came with, I think), and even just had a stab at 7.3 - it's just not behaving at all now, on any version, though it can still occasionally be coached into providing an Airport network, and bridging ethernet, ok.
But throughout all this, I don't think I've actually managed to get it to properly hard reset even once.
Be very grateful to hear any thoughts or comments, or of any similar experiences - otherwise I guess it's back to the shop for a swap.
Andy.

Hello moxim! Let's figure this out. I am sorry your device is still not working. After a Hard Reset, your next step would be to review warranty options. Please reply to my Direct Message, and I'd be happy to check into this further.

I have 3X YOGA 10 freeze - factory reset not working

I bought 3 lenovo yoga B8000-F 10 January 2014 none of them work. it is frozen on the logo LENOVO. recovery factory reset not possible

Lenovo Phone Support are suggesting I take it back to the shop where I bought it (was on vacation interstate in Australia - if Lenovo want to send me the flight, I'll definitely take it back )
This looks like a firmware bug and it seems to be endemic - interesting that it's just happened for me too, roughly 100 days since purchase...
Also found that the warranty was shown on the Lenovo system as being months before purchase - my receipt is 8/1/14, their record is 23/10/13
Can not get any message out of the tablet other than that it is in Meta Mode - it won't get to Factory reset.....

My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate hard disk

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

Soft reset not working...screen black, led blinking

so basically...i soft reset my phone...(by the way this upgrade is a pain!)...and the screen went black (normal), but the led light just kept blinking. i thought maybe because of the upgrade it needed more time or something.
so i decided to leave my phone and go get ready for work thinking by the time i'm ready to jet, it would be up and running...
45 minutes later...NOTHING. still black. still blinking. so i did a hard reset which worked just fine.
but i had to soft reset my phone again (why? the alerts sounds stopped working...resetting it makes them work again)....but same deal: black screen, blinking led.
anyone know whats going on? is soft reset just dead now with the new upgrade?
btw - the blackberry folks know about the alert sounds issue...it's currently being looked at.
anyway...HELP!

Depending on the LED flashing it could be boot rom failure.

Hard Reset, really work?

As everyone else I loved my phone before the update. I have several prob's with my phone now. I am experiencing them multiple times daily. Here is a brief list:
1. Missed calls/texts
2. Resends old text
3. Always reboots and turns on in safe mode. I have to pull the battery many times a day to get out of safe mode. Then I have to reset any widgets which are removed from this process.
4. Voice talk/search activation screen randomly pops up when no one is near the phone.
5. Bluetooth is now horrible! Shows paired/connected but when a call comes in you just never know!!! Could even start in Bluetooth then switch in the middle of call. Yes, I've repaired everything after the update.
6. Battery life is non existent
6. The lights on the buttons randomly flash or stay stuck on
7. Screens freeze constantly forcing me to pull the battery, hence ending up in safe mode again
8. Photos won't delete
etc....................
I use this phone for business more than personal and I need to count on my phone. If I break down and do a reset will any of these problems go away? I've tried several of the "fixes" I was told to do by the tech at the store and here I am now.....
Contemplating biting the bullet and paying for a new phone. I think we should be compensated by someone for selling us phones that do not work as advertised!
Please tell me if doing the reset has helped you and if you have any suggestions before I do it?
Thanks!

I did the hard reset out of complete frustration and almost wrecking trying to continually pulling the battery while driving. I need my phone/bluetooth to work, I'm on the road a lot for my job!
I will agree with everything everyone has posted. It fixed some of the bugs. Haven't tried out the blue tooth until today when I go back to work. BUT I completely agree it has made the missed calls worse! Last night at midnight I received notice of a missed call and VM from 12 hours earlier! Plus I was working on closing a deal this weekend. I missed several calls without any notice and phone was in normal mode the entire time.
You would think Verizon would be more considerate of their customers, having all these problems with this phone, its time Verizon steps up and realizes we have a dud of a phone.

Reset not working on iPad Air. I just bought this iPad Air from an individaual. It was listed as new and came with the box, charger, and guide. The seller said it was jail broken and I told him I did not want it jail broken and he said he would reset

He said he would reset it to factory and I said ok I would purchase it. He supposedly received it as a gift from his business and already had one. Well it all looks in new condition and powers up and down ok, and connected to WIFI when I checked it out at Starbucks. SIRI worked, Safari and the camers worked so I took it. Nothing was on the screen but standard app symbols you see on a new iPad. I compared it to a display at a store.
Well when I got it home I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to trust and I said yes ond on the Air it asked to ok it and I did. Then I tried to go to App store and it came up and asked for the password for a Apple ID. Of course I did not have it. I then tried to do a reset. I went to Settings and did a reset erase everything. It asked me twice if I wanted to reset as it was not recoverable. I said yes. It did not ask for and Apple ID or password. The Air reset started and the Apple logo came up and a bar started to move arcoss under it. It almost became a full bar when the screen went blank and the little small rotating symbol came up. It just kept rotating and never finished. Had to do a hard reset holding the Home and Sleep button for 10 seconds and the the Air came back. Everything is working on the Air except I can not get it to reset and link it up to my computer itunes.
It is on IOS 7.0.4
I hope I am not out my $475. Any help would be appreciated. Any options or suggestions.
Thanks.

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

LaCie FireWire External Hard Drive NOT working ...

I have a 250GB LaCie External Hard Drive plugged via FireWire into my Desktop and it is NOT working properly for the last 12-14 months. I have tried several things, including taking it to the store, and nothing seems to fix the problem. I even upgraded the RAM to 1.25 GB, but that did not solve this problem (I never thought this was the problem, but the guy at the Genius Bar suggested so). The most frustrating of all is that sometimes it works (20% of the time) and most of the time it is just not working. Also, when I use it with my MacBook, it works just fine, so this gives me a little bit of a clue that the problem is the desktop, not the Hard Drive, this is why I did not buy a new HDrive, and this is why I am asking help here. (By the way, when I try to eject the LaCie from my Desktop, it says it can't be done because the disk is in use -which I know is not)
Here is the thing as today. Last week I was able to drag some music from my iTunes to my HD using my MacBook. I connected my LaCie back to my desktop (which is where I need it to be) and I can NOT copy any file from my desktop to my LaCie Hardrive. It gives an error message like "The name is too long for the destination". Really weird! If I change the name it still says the same. So when I want to save a CD to my LaCie (which is the main purpose of me having an External Hard Drive, I just can't do it).
When I try to open files from the LaCie, it is fine as long as it is a jpeg or a .doc file. MP3 files won't open, and an error will show like this: Disk could not be read from or written to. I can drag files from LaCie to my dektop, but again, only .doc or .jpeg files.
In regards to the Time Machine, I completely gave that up. It would not back up, it would freeze the computer ... I really don't care about that, really. All I want is my External Hard Drive to be able to save my mp3 files safely, since I have thousands of files in mp3 format.
I tried to use Disk Utility to verify and/or repair de disk, but I was not successful with that either. When repairing, after not even a minute it says "Disk could not be unmounted". When trying to verify, it would say "Filesystem verify or repair failed".
I am DESPERATELY asking for help. I am just a regular guy with few computer knowledge. I just want my Apple to work, that is why I use Apple and not PC. But I need someone who could give me advice on how to fix this problem.
Thank YOU very much!

My desktop has two FireWire ports. In the first one I had my webcam plugged in. In the second one, the External Hard Drive. I unplugged the camera and used the first port for my External HDrive and now it works! So it seems the problem is a hardware problem with the port.
I'd check to see if the problem returns when you plug the camera back into the second port, or if the drive works in the original port when the camera is not connected.
Edit: Maybe you unplugged the problem, when you unplugged the camera?

Reset NOT Working

For the past month my Time Machine hasn't been able to keep its network up for more than about 5 minutes. Sometimes when I do a hard reset (take out the power and ethernet internet feed cables then re-plug them after a couple minutes) it will come back and the network will work (though only for 5-10 minutes). Other times the reset does not work at all.
The obvious reasons for this being annoying are: I can't get on the web and I can't back up my computer.
Anyone have any thoughts?

You may do better in the Time Capsule or Airport forums, as many of us here (like me) aren't very familiar with them.
