Unitech PA966 hard reset

Before you buy a new cell phone or new tablet, please try the following procedure to repair your device. First charge your battery, backup your important data if possible and in most cases take out SIM and SD card. It is impossible to recover your data after doing a hard reset, so online backup is always important. For all of your data, a backup should be done on an external device, hard drive, raid system or media.

Unitech PA966 Warm Boot / Cold Boot

Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot while the PA966 is operating, insert a pin (paper clip works well) into the
reset hole on the back of the terminal, right below the PCMCIA cover.
Under the Windows folder of your terminal, locate the file BootMode.exe, execute the program, and
confirm the warning message.
WARNING: Warm Boot will cause unsaved data to be lost
Cold Boot
Press the coldboot button underneath the PCMCIA cover, the terminal will perform cold boot.
NOTE: Cold Boot will cause the PA966 to return to its original factory settings
