I've been using a Palm Tungsten E for a couple of years without any major
problems, this AM I did a Hotsync, updating a couple of files and the
thing got stuck in the "Wait while it cleans up" mode after a Hotsync.
after waiting about ten minutes, and nothing had changed, I assumed, as
had worked in the past, a Reset would clear the machine (Small reset hole
at the back).
Well it did sort of, but now the machine is still on, but stuck on the
"Palm Powered" screen you get after a reset.

Nothing I do will either reset or switch the machine off, and it has been
sitting around and On for a couple of hours now.

Aside from waiting until the battery runs down (It was fully charged) does
anyone here know of a fix that'll enable me to switch it off and then
reset.

Best wishes for Christmas and the new year.  :-)

Spent some more time googling and found a solution.
