Title: How to reboot AirpadX
Post by: hong on January 29, 2012, 12:02:50 PM: My AirpadX has frozen showing the home screen. I have held the power button for more than 100 seconds, but it still does not shut down. Is there another way to shut it down?

If it won't power down, get a paper clip, and straighten it out, and insert it in the little hole just to the left of the micro USB port (it's also where the mic is). push gently until you feel a click, and it will reset the Airpad.

It was driving me crazy. I had to wait till the battery died to reboot it. Fortunately or unfortunately, the battery life of AirpadX is short. I will use this trick when the freezing happens next time.

I've had my pad freeze up twice on me since getting it between Christmas and New Year's. It's a useful piece of information to have.
