How to reset the Inkpad?

Nate the great · 11-23-2015, 10:49 PM

So my Inkpad is either dead or frozen in a faux low-power state.

Does anyone know how I can reset it? I don't see a pinhole.

You can try holding down both Next/Prev buttons for a few seconds. That's all I see in the manual.

The PB Touch Lux 2 can be reset by keeping the on/off button pressed for some 10 seconds. I'm not sure if this works for the Inkpad as well.

Holding down Next+Prev for a few seconds will close the current app (or at least on my TL2).

Thanks, Zetmolm, rkomar.

That didn't help, but thanks for the suggestions.

It sucks that there is no reset button. I even tried pushing a paperclip into the hole down the audio jack to see if it was there, since I found it hard to believe that it wasn't somewhere.

According to page 15 of the user manual pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds should work on the Inkpad. If it does not for you, I'm afraid something is seriously wrong with your device

On my TL2 this invariably works. This 'trick' is the reset button. It replaces the reset hole, and is much more convenient: no need to carry a paperclip in your wallet all the time.
