Can't hard reset - did battery extender brick my unit?

For some reason, I tried to use a 4AA battery extender on my Axim X50v without the Axim's battery in it.

I closed the battery latch and conneted the battery externder into the charging slot. The unit started up for a bit then I turned it off. When I turned it on again I got the "Memory error" message so I did a hard reboot. When I got the message to press the "Calander" button (second button on bottom from the right) to continue, nothing happened. I can't get past this screen.

Did this little bit of adventurism brick my precious Axim?

How can I do a hard reset now?

OK problem solved -- left the battery out of the Axim for 20 minutes and then put it back in, system sutmatically did a hard reset when battery was put back

Glad you were able to solve the problem. Thanks for posting the solution. Did the battery extender do any permanent damage? I was actually looking to buy one.
