Hard reset of a Palm TX with the button of spoiled ignition
With the daily use, the button of ignition of the Palm can get to stop working. This disables, for example, doing hard reset, since it is necessary to press this button to initiate the process. Programs that solve the problem, like the call exist, in a show of originality, Hard Reset, or Sleep, that allow to assign the function of the button of extinguished to another button which we choose.
The ignition button is a part very prone to fail with the use
But MrAnderson proposes in his blog a peculiar way to obtain the same result, that is unique the possible one in case our Palm, with the spoiled button of extinguished, enters an infinite curl of reseteos. As it can be seen in this video, with this method is able to leave this bulce of resets infinitely, that in the case which we tried (spoiled button) would be non-recoverable:
As we can read in his blog, the steps to be able to initiate hard reset when the Palm is beginning, are the following:
- Manten pressed the four bellboys of Fast Applications (House, Calendar, Contacts and Web).
- When the bar of progress of the first screen arrives at the 100%, mantendra thus until you loosen the four bellboys in simultaneous form.
- Loose bellboys and when the Palm changes to the following screen with the gray logo that says “Palm Powered”, returns to press the four bellboys of Fast Applications.
- Delay a few second and loose four bellboys in simultaneous form. If you did everything correctly it showed a screen to you that says “This safe one to want to erase all the data”.
- Reset presses the key upwards to complete hard.
The effectiveness of this method is not very clear, since the instructions in the original article are not too clear either. To MrAnderson it did not work to him, to some readers of blog of TamsPalm yes. In principle the trick took control of a T|X, but I do not know if it will work with other equipment. Those that you cheer up to try, you leave in the commentaries the result of your experiment, to see if we left doubts.

It is an excellent contribution - leaving its effectiveness separate, although the one to tighten in several occasions the 4 bellboys simultaneously… is to me somewhat complicated and like suggestion, already for much, I have praised myself/poured off to use some of the applications that allow to extinguish my TX without using the ignition button (I have to this end installed OffStroke and CenterMenu) and igniting it (to be able to return to the same previous application and not through some from the four bellboys, which would force to me to leave this application and to return to the previous one) with CenterMenu. Of this form with himself to maintain the button of ignition of the TX intact.
The connections to both are:

Greetings,
Rbngp: Excellent programs those that you comment, I believe that I am going to prove them. Greetings.
Marks: Once again flattered by the cause that you have published one of my posts in your blog. Greetings friend mine.
MrAnderson: there is some with similar function more, but at the time I installed these, have gone to me well… In post of PDAExpertos de basic Recomendaciones some of the other are mentioned.
Greetings,
Caray Marks one yes that inquire with your binnacle! It did not have the minimum idea of the trick although it seems that it does not work in my TE2, I will continue trying yes to have I have more luck.
Mmmm it seems that once in a while post of Expert PDA is necessary to occur to a return by that, because it is changing constantly… Greetings.
I have proven it in my TX several times and I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE to make work it. And use Power Btn would come to me perfect because the encedido button of does not work to me and to be able to assign another button to the functions of Power. … pity!
He only works perfectly, a question:
Jam the 4 bellboys of my TX in the logo of Palm
small change the 4 bellboys I again press and them in the screen of Palm Powered
BUT
Instead of to loosen the four bellboys at the same time, small change the first outer bellboys (house and Web) and finally, the interns (calendar and contacts), when loosen them at the same time, did not work.
I hope that he is to them useful
I am a flaming user of tungsten E2: somebody can indicate to me if I can connect a motorola v3 e, or v3 i to have acseso to Internet broadband EDGE: or the normal one by GSM, by means of bluetooth (or by some cable)
that navigator and mail podria to use preferably with my E2 2007 in Spanish who is but useful.
that programs recommend to me like agenda and
generals and to read and to publish documents pdf and or .doc
I thank for any to them info, I am educational but an inexpert one in the E2.
probe in palmone treo 650 that was reinitiated constantly and works perfectly is possible to never mention that solte the bellboys while it loaded and I enter the screen powered palm that screen I remain there until solte and ready I work so I wait for is of utility for somebody because he is functional in palm treo 650 thanks was to me very useful.
In a T5 he works perfectly
To somebody it has worked to him in a TX? Or I am going to begin to think that my TX is “rare” jejejejeje
PS. has been to me wonderfully well, but instead of to loosen the four bellboys at the same time, the first exteriors and almost-al-same-time-but-not-so much, the interiors.

Is good the video, but understandable that the one of Dmitry… so I am going to try it as it samples. Greetings.
Pushboton of bad quality lasts little. The q I do is abrir palm, and with a small cable to unite the ends of the button later to be able to do reset, because the program of dimitry does not serve to me
Them comment that if it worked for the Tungsten T5, which is to do is to make a soft reset with the back button, at the moment that begins to load, to press the 4 bellboys of application, Home, Calendar, Contacts and Archives, when it happens to the screen of log of Palm it loosen the bellboys and it appears the question that if you are safe to erase all the data.
Greetings!
I have one tungsten e2
and at the outset pense that was a physical defect of the ignition button (nonSerbian, tapeworm ke to catch putting it reluctantly the card sd)
until recently encontre a article with the form to recalibrate the battery…
I work again!
grax!
In case somebody can make use to me. I have a Palm TX. Today it has begun to blink the screen being changed the intensity of the light. I have done him reset but it has not responded; it was reinitiated but to him it continued passing the same. Despiés has begun continuously to pass through patalla vertical bands and they do not stop happening. Although the screen goes out after the anticipated minutes when igniting it returns to happen the same. I have tried the double reset but it does not work either. The battery is loaded. It is a task because I leave trip and I have all the data inside to be able to travel. It would thank for one helps
in the first attempt I work, tapeworm many problems and main the button of ignition I stop working long ago. but perdi much information by q does not keep (photos before videos) and some archives q were not the espandible memory. but music it recovers if it but not like?

Exists some software that allows to do hard reset?
