Ipaq 2490 hangs on booting




By bluepower on Nov 24, 2007

" "
I have been using my hp ipaq 2490 for a year. I've had no problems with reseting it until now. I reset this device yesterday and yes, I get the blue HP screen, the progress bar moves to the end. But then it just hangs there.
It says Formatting PS .... at the bottom: could that be taking a long time?
I've tried reseting it cold, hot, warn, lukewarm, tepid, you name it. Still no life.
Any gurus out there that can figure this one out?

Try this:
4. Make clean reset (hold callendar + itask, then press and hold reset), after about two seconds you will hear knack. Now unhold these buttons. The screen will be black.
5. After that make hard reset (hold callendar + messaging + power and then press and hold reset) after about two seconds unhold reset button first and after about one seconds remaining buttons. You will see on screen PS FORMAT.
6. Now is you iPAQ ready.
