How to Fix a myTouch Slide 3G When It's Locked


The myTouch 3G Slide is a smartphone from T-Mobile that combines the basic features of a mobile phone with Internet access and a media player, and uses a touchscreen to input commands into the device. An unresponsive myTouch is caused by a random error while using the phone and can be fixed through a soft reset. As opposed to a hard reset, a soft reset forces the device to restart by removing its battery. A soft reset corrects common lockup issues with the myTouch 3G Slide and is recommended over a hard reset that erases all of your device's content.


Instructions

1
Flip the myTouch device over with the back facing up, and insert your thumbnail or fingernail into the cover's notch.

2
Gently lift the back cover off the phone, and lift out the battery from its notch to remove it. Wait five to ten seconds for the device to shut off and power cycle.

3
Insert the contacts of the battery into the myTouch's battery compartment, and gently push the battery into the phone's battery slot.

4
Line up the backplate with the phone's openings near the top of the back of the phone. Push the top of the backplate onto the back of the phone until it makes a clicking noise.

5
Press the power button on the bottom of the phone to turn on the myTouch 3G Slide.
