3. Resetting the Console
Under rare circumstances, it may be necessary to reset the console.
To reset the console, hold SHIFT whist quitting the MagicQ application. This performs
an immediate soft reset of the console - the MagicQ application will be running the
show again within about 2-3 seconds.
If for some reason, the console does not respond to button presses then try pressing
CTRL BREAK on the external keyboard (hold CTRL whilst pressing BREAK).
If this has no effect then a hard reset may be required. Hard resets should be avoided
as they bypass the operating system shutdown procedures and may cause problems
with the file system. To perform a hard reset, press and hold the reset button for 5
seconds.
To force the console to power off completely, disconnect the mains power to the
console and hold the reset button on the back panel until it powers off (approximately
15 seconds.)
