Insert a ballpoint pen tip or straightened paperclip into the small hole below the
charging light and press the reset button inside the hole. Resetting is more
complete than rebooting because it resets even locked-up components.

3. Optional: When the OmniBook displays a list of configurations, press

SPACEBAR to stop the 5-second time-out. Then press a number key and
ENTER to select a particular configuration. If you do nothing, the OmniBook
uses its default configuration.

If these actions have no effect, remove the battery and ac adapter and press the
reset button. Then install the battery or plug in the ac adapter and try pressing the
reset button again.

Hint

Rebooting from a floppy disk. If you want to reboot from a boot disk in the floppy
drive, put the disk in the floppy drive before you restart the OmniBook. For example,
you can reboot from the Support Utility disk, then use the commands on this disk to
check your hard disk.
