Hey, I got into that state sometimes.

I usually curse and mumble while pressing Reset Contacts itask many
times, jump around, shout scream rage.... Leave all 3 pressed for like
1 minute, then reset or press other buttons.

Eventually something happens and i get it back to normal.

Luckily, I've not had to reset my ipaq it's been a long time. Love linux.
