Clie T665 won't reset...

[Unregistered]

Unfortunately, my t665 crashed just when the battery was really running out... it wouldn't switch off, so i thought i should perhaps try to reset it so that i can at least turn it off before recharging.

I had a bad feeling about that... it remained switched on with a blank screen, and it wouldn't reset, so i thought maybe i'll just charge it and try to reset it while it is charging... after about half an hour... the clie remained on, and wouldn't respond to the reset key or the power key.

Tried hard reset, to no avail, but i will attempt to recharge it to full to see if there is any response. Sounds like a dead clie... :(

Can anybody help?

if it doesnt work try to let it drain itself out completely, and wait a while after it's drained.
then charge it and should work.
make sure it's been empty for a while first tho.

Thanks! Letting it drain completely is the next step up from a hard reset. I understand even a hard reset relied on the CLIE recognising the reset/power buttons in the first place. And it didn't.

I thought i had to wait 3 weeks for the battery to run out, but the LED blipped out in a few hours. Came back to life after putting it back on the cradle. It's resuscitated now, thanks :)
