I saw this on clieplanet and was horrified, as i had identified the hold button as the problem before reading the answer, yet at the end she says that it's just the hold button, so why leave the incorrect instructions up there?

Subject: Clie Problem
Dear Clie Queen,
My Clie Peg-n760c is not starting up. When I hit the reset pin in the back, the machine goes through the start up process, but when it reaches the date/time set screen, a message reading "Hold" appears and the clie shuts itself down. This reminds me of a computer going into "standby" mode. How do I get my clie to work properly again? Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Abe,
If you can't get your Clie back after a soft reset, you'll have to do a hard reset.
1. Take out your memory stick
2. Push the reset button on the back of your Clie
3. Then hold the power button until the logos coming up on the screen stop
4. Release the power button and press the center toggle button "up" when prompted (this will erase all your info and restore your Clie to it's factory settings)
5. Go through the set-up screens
6. On your PC-click on the "hotsync" symbol on the lower tool bar and select "custom" from the menu
7. On this screen you will double click on: date book, address book, memo pad, to do, and system, one at a time, then you will click on "desktop overrides handheld" and "done"
8. place your Clie in the cradle and perform a hotsync, you will need to select your username on your PC at the start
Most of your info will be restored though you may want to double check everything as some third party programs and/or their databases may be missing.
If you have installed any new programs, you may want to delete them, then add them back one by one to see if one of them is causing the problem. You will probably end up doing another hard reset, but at least you will know which one is the problem causer or if none of them are causing this problem.
Please don't hesitate to write back if you have problems any where along the way Thank-you for writing:)
NOTE: After many e-mails this turned out not to be Abe's problem, it was a stuck "hold" button.
well duh! How could someone who is supposed to be clie knowledgable have this person erase all their stuff and start over when you could simply tell them to move a switch! And why weren't the original intructions taken down? This strikes me as utter retardedness....
