must reset it. Follow these steps to reset the NXT:
1. Make sure that the NXT is turned on.
2. Press the reset button that is located on the back of your
NXT in the LEGO
®
Technic hole in the upper left corner.
Use, for example, an unfolded paperclip to press the
button.
3. If you press the reset button for more than 4 seconds, you
will need to update the fi rmware.

not.
2. Make sure the NXT and computer are connected with the
USB cable.
3. Go to the Tools pull-down menu in the software menu bar
and select Update NXT Firmware.
Select the fi rmware you want to update. Click
