BenQ P51 Hard reset

As with a soft reset, a hard reset restarts the PDA phone without erasing any data, program, or system settings. But a hard reset also resets the system time to the default value (1 January, 2006).

To perform a hard reset:

1. Locate the recessed Reset at the bottom of the phone.
2. Press and hold down Power button.
3. Without releasing Power, insert the stylus into the recess to trigger Reset. Hold down both Power and Reset until the screen fades off.
4. When the screen has faded off completely, release both Power and the stylus.

2. Press and hold down Power (1).
3. Without releasing Power, insert the stylus into the recess to trigger Reset. Hold down both Power and Reset until the screen fades off.
