SOURCE: I need to set the camcorder to default settings

For most models, removing the battery pack from the camcorder will restore the default settings; however, some models which contain an EZ Q button, store your settings and removing the battery pack will have no impact on these settings. The Lithium battery maintains the clock function and preset contents of the memory; even if the Battery pack or AC Power adapter is removed. Removing the Lithium Battery along with the Battery pack will restore the default settings.

You could reinstall Windows. There really isn't a "factory reset" beyond using the "recover disk" which reinstalls the OS. Did you get that with the laptop?

How do I reset a Dell Laptop Inspiron M731R

If at all possible, a whole new fresh start means, "Reformat".

Backup if at all possible and then go ahead & follow the steps to Reformat.

Note:.... Reformat will erase everything and you will have a laptop, like when you first bought it.

Good Luck

I would like to reset my laptop to its factory settings but dont know how. I tried F8 key and also F11 CTRL but nothings seems to work. Its a Dell ispiron 1525.

Hi,
To restore your laptop back to factory defaults you will need the restore cds that were supplied with your laptop.
Insert the cd (or the firs if is more than one) and restart your laptop.
When the message appears "Press any key to boot from cd" press enter and follow the wizard to reinstall the operating system and restore your laptop.
Please note that you should backup any data that you would like to keep before the above procedure.
