Although I suggested to open the quaderno in this case up to now, here's a much better way

1. Switch off your Quaderno.
2. Press and hold the hardware-reset-key (hidden key between the COM and the LPT-ports, see picture for details).
3. Press and hold the multi-function-key (blue-point-key) and the power-key while reset is still pressed.
4. Release the reset-key, but keep the blue-point and the power-key-pressed.
5. Wait for your Quaderno to be started.
6. Release the blue-point and the power-key.

Now everything should be working fine!

Unable to switch on the COM-Port for serial data transfer?

To enable the serial data transfer between Quaderno and other machines you have to switch on your COM-port first.
In order to do so, please use the following steps:

1. Switch off your Quaderno.
2. Switch on your Quaderno. (Or simply press reset for steps 1+2).
3. While your Quaderno is booting, press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL]+[SHIFT].

Now the Quaderno-Setup-Screen should appear. (If not, try steps 1-3 again!)

4. Press [F6] to jump to your COM-port settings.
5. Press [SPACE] to switch COM-port on ("enabled") or off ("disabled").
6. Press [ENTER]. Your Quaderno should reboot now with the changed configuration.

Note: If you use batteries or the original Quaderno-power-pack, you should switch off the COM-port
after transferring data for a longer battery life.
