My Forma is, sadly, less than perfectly stable and I've become very familiar with this process. I need it roughly every 2 weeks.
Thank you for that information

I am rather new to the Forma. And yesterday it froze on me. I ended up getting a total factory reset meaning :

I had to re-sideload all my books
Setting up my favorite font.
Update to latest version of the software (4.26.16704)
Reestablish my patches.
Get the 24 h clock back.
And worst of all, finding the latest active page in my active books.

I hope in the future that I can get a more easy reset. Otherwise I will donate it to the black sheep of my family.

When that is said I have got a paragon copy of the Forma. Totally even light and a usable powerbutton.
