Have you tried resetting defaults?

If you have, you can take a look at this:

huh? i thought that if you remove and change the battery it will automatically default? am i right??

Only if all stored power is released and the machine is unplugged...
This is done by hitting the power button 4 or 5 times after following the above.

i'm sorry but what do you mean by hitting the power button 5 times?? can you explain? thanks.
