Question

How do I reboot a LabQuest?

Answer

There are three possible ways to reset the LabQuest. Try these in the order listed below.

1. Reboot: For a low-impact restart, tap the Home icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, select Control Panel, and then select Reboot.

2. Medium Reset: For a 'gentler' reset, select Reboot from the Control Panel as described above. When the screen goes black, press the Reset button on the back.

3. Hard Reset: The last thing to try is the reset button on the back of the LabQuest right below where the stylus slides into place. Use the stylus to press and hold the button for a couple of seconds.

Note: Do not use a Hard Reset except as a last resort when both the screen and hardkeys are not responding.
