Have you read the manual? The manual will teach you how to reset your iLiad.

I have read the manual, and to plush and hold the power button.(>10 sec)
But, my iLiad screen is hold, not to anything.
So, I po this forums.
Anyway, my iLiad is normal. Thanks your reply.

You must have missed something on your manual. There is a hole on the back of iLiad. Insert something into the hole to reset your iLiad.

AlexLi · 10-27-2009, 07:58 AM

I am not sure it.
My iLiad have a hold on the back. but not have any reset button can to into the hole to reset my iLiad.
I can see a inside circuit from the hole.
I don't know the version iLiad have or not reset buttion.

You can use the pen to reset when the Iliad hangs. You have to power it again to start it.

If the reset-button wont work: press the power-switch(1-5 sec) while holding the connect-button (upper right).
The reset-button only works for me if the green light keeps flashing.

IIRC, pressing the power-switch(1-5 sec) while holding the connect-button will trigger firmware reflash, not reset.

Indeed. However, when you dont have a CF-card inserted with the proper files it acts like a reset as far as i know.
My iLiad v2 crashed a few times and the reset-button or power-switch didn't do anything but the reflash combo worked.
