hard reset: with the unit off, press and hold the windows, ok, and record buttons at the same time the press the reset button. This will erase all the data you stored on it.

On the previous models there was the usual pin-hole-paperclip reset hole in the case. They apparently covered that starting with the III. Most people seem to have had luck opening the case and shorting "Nand pin 6 & 7". If you search their forum at http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum you can find examples and pictures of the pins. You may need the Flashtool or have the update.zip loaded to complete the process. All on the forum. I have not had luck yet and am stuck at the boot screen myself, but have at least found the pins (mine were covered with a QCC sticker :) good luck

You might try a " System reset" from the menu or try reset button (Fig 14).

You can try to reset the machine by having it turned on, opening the cover to expose the ink cartridges, lift the lever on the cartridge holder then remove the ink cartridges, lastly remove the holder the ink cartridges were in then unplug all of the wires while it is turned on. This includes unplugging the power cord. Wait for a moment for the machine to reset itself. Plug the wires back in, put the ink holder back in, put the ink cartridge holder lever down then place the ink back in. Watch for a red light to appear on the ink cartridges as you place them in. If the ink cartridge does not light up the chip on the cartridge is bad and you need another one.

So am I [67]- but have you tried asking HP - try a text message on their website - HP or HPusa.com; this gives you a better chance of someone there replying - their Phone people are slow or non-responsive. Sorry - my HP is a newer tiny Windows one, but it has no disk drive, so everything must be added by SD card or downloaded online. I'm assuming you have a usb port that you connected it to. Just read some other replies. Found an answer, huh. Great, Good luck Margaret. Frank

I have no idea! I am not a guru, but it freezes up.... I have had a nightmare of a time getting things taken care of through the claims dept. My HP was sent in last year for repair (I had some keys sticking) HP not only fixed the sticking, but replaced my keys and I didn't ask or expect them to do it! HP is a better product in my book. They back their products and produce long lasting computer equipment!

Try going to the windows 8 screen, press hp and find the hp support. There you can update drivers, mine is great and I had some new drivers to install. Hope it helps!

The other answers are good approaches. But don't bother with the HP Helpdesk--the warranty has expired on this printer. Also run the head cleaning option under "printer maintenance."

There is a pinhole at the bottom of netbook said "reset", insert a paper clip pin for 10 second when the machine is power on and then release, you should be able to go back to factory default reset.

My computer "locked up" it wouldn't reboot or anything. I dug out my warranty and called. The young man I spoke with was very nice and called HP immediately. HP talked me thru unlocking it and resetting it. There was no charge to me. If you need their customer service phone number send me another question and I will send you their number. They were very nice and I called late on a Sunday night. Hope this helped.

It's a matter of pressing and holding the arrow buttons from what I know but in any case the drugstore could help you reset it or one could always look up the users manual online. Hope that helps .

I have exactly the same problem after meticulously following all the instructions. Am trying the recharging idea as suggested by Angela N but I fear it may need a return to the shop. Amazed there is no reset option as with any other digital device.

I have had nothing but problems with my Elite Book. If you haven't bought it yet, i suggest looking for another model. not worth the money. i promise you, this is coming from someone that has to fight HP to fix my Elite Book 810.

Reset device with a toothpick thru hole on edge. Also / or, use separate mini card reader for data card.

Try pushing the reset button on the side. You might have to use a paper clip or pin, but that worked for me when mine locked up.

The 1st generation has a large grey panel you slide to the side. The reset button is there too.

No you cannot reset it. You must link up the board to the printer otherwise it won't work. It didn't work for me. The cartridges never sync up to the printer, thus the printer cold never read the ink info and print. They sent me another batch of ink cartridges and still no luck. I gave up.....
