Hi,
My Palm Lifedrive is suffering from a froozen screen when trying to start a total reset ( secure erase). This by sliding the button above & putting the stylus into the resetpoint + pointing the 5way downwards. I can hear the harddisk for some time. The screen shows the light blue banner with ' secure erase in 6 languages'. The black indicator does not show up.
And now????
Thanks in advance for helping.
Yes, replace the hard drive with a new micro
drive (easier?) or flash drive. If you do not have update 2 already then it's too late for the alternate reset option. I suspect your micro drive is finished, fried, kaput! I'd enjoy hearing an alternative solution, if there is one.

You may be experiecing failure of the microdrive. Those are typical of it failing or having failed.
Having said that have your tried the hard reset buy holding the 5 way down while sliding the power switch? This is slightly different than the older secure but you need the update 2 to have it. This will erase and reformat and reload the entire system a bit more thouroughly than the older secure erase.
It might get you out of the cycle which is more important.

The unit comes on with th battery charger connected then goes to a palmone screen. It won't shut off until the battery goes dead. I have tried a secure reset and a ouick rest. It goes to a banner saying the type of reset but no progress meter and will not do anything but sit there.
