Default WinPilot locked up my Vertica 2 PNA - help!

I've managed to lock my Vertica 2 PNA up with WinPilot, and can't get it un-frozen. Holding down the power button, even for an extended period doesn't do anything. Anyone know if there is a reset button?



If anyone else is trying to run WinPilot on a V2 in Landscape mode, DON'T launch the Declaration Transfer dialog! That particular dialog's 'OK' button is partially off-screen on the bottom and almost inaccessible. However, if you try to move the dialog up a bit so you can see/access the 'OK' button, it actually goes *DOWN*, and then the OK button isn't accessible at all, ever.



TIA,

I couldn't find a hardware reset button at all, so I wound up disassembling the unit so I could unplug the battery, whereupon I found that the battery is *soldered* to the main PCB - Yikes!! Had to un-solder the B+ lead, then re-solder it to get the thing to reset. VERY scary :-(
