I had the same issue once, try taking out your battery. Good luck!

Leave it out for 30 minutes (basically until the back-up battery fails).

Also:
- Have you recently out a screen protector on?
- Remove any storage cards when you hard reset.

Good luck.

It sounds as though something is putting pressure on the screen (so that it doesn't register screen taps).

As I said - do you have a new screen protector (or case for that matter?).

I would do what Rob suggested and keep the battery out until the backup discharges and try again.

Hey HeY! !
Its all working now, thankyou Toddfather and Rob for your help !! I removed the battery for 30 mins and then the device came on and worked... I read on the HP forums that you need to apply a bit of pressure on the top of the screen... strange :P and also to fix up the aligning problem I placed the ipaq on my desk and used the stylus at 90degrees! and poked the target right in the center! worked out fine!
Thankyou for your help !!
hopefully no one else will have to go through this trouble!
