Last night, I "woke up" my NC from its sleep mode and unlocked it (so far so good), and it turned on to the last page of the book I was reading OK. THEN, my touchscreen "froze" all of a sudden and would not register any of my touches. I couldn't turn the page, get any menus, nothing, except very randomly the screen would do "something" (like highlight a word) in a "delayed" response to a touch. I tried to do a soft reset (power down and then power back on) but I couldn't turn it off at all as the screen would not register my touch on the "do you want to power off completely" button. I tried to power down multiple times (same result). I was trying to find out how to do a hard reset when the NC suddenly DID power off (again, like a "delayed reaction" to my touch of the power off button??), and when I powered back on again it was working fine.

Has anybody else experienced something like this? Where can I find how to do a hard reset if this should happen again and I can't get it to power off?
