Effects of a Hard Reset

[Ampsonic]

When you remove the primary battery, does it automatically reset? Say, to change to your secondary battery, would you lose everything?

no, the backup battery would take over and supply the power. However, Dell says that the backup battery will ONLY last for a half hr at the most. If you take both batts out, a hard reset will occur.

I have lost the link to the hard rest from my programs, how can do a hard reset without the link? In other words, where is the executable actually stored so that I can navigate to it?
thanks in advance

I think the jade monkey took it.....

I see. Is there any way to reset even the BIS to factory-original state, say because of corrupted files, etc?

Actually, when I do a hard reset, I delete **EVERYTHING** in BIS first, then hard reset.

When I start 'clean', I want to made sure it IS 'clean'.

Assuming your PDA isn't already hosed and you can still sync -- just EXPLORE to your 'Built In Storage', delete everything.

BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR DATA!!!

Programs can be replaced, your entered data can not.
