Sidekick 2 problem...wont do anything

Ok, I was at the county fair tonight, and my sk2 was working fine. I put it in my pocket and I don't know what happened, but I took it out later to check the time, and it was frozen on the camera screen. It was in a full size few of a picture that I didn't take (could have been inside of pocket, dark picture), and I couldnt do anything to make that screen change. It wouldnt even flip over when I opened/closed it. I held down power, and I think I turned it off, but this screen is still on, and backlit. Please help, and thank you in advance!

If you partially flip open the screen you will see a reset button. Hit that with a pin needle and see what happens.

you have to press the power button when you hit the reset button. It will have to redownload everything but it should take care of your problem

try a hard reset!!! (Press the power button and while your doing that open the screen half way and get a paper clip or a pin and press the reset button in the small hole) that will definitely work because it helped me!

should they put it on their hip in a pouch that is exposed to the elements? I think it would be safer in my pocket then some pleather pouch.

I take it you have the SK2 Dataplan, if so.. the phonebook & email will re-download from the Danger servers.
