      Tips

      • If your machine doesn't appear to be resetting correctly, unplug the machine and leave it unplugged for a few hours (or overnight). Some users have found that doing this helped their machine start working properly.
      • Performing a factory reset should also reset your machine's Wi-Fi connection, but if your machine is connected via Bluetooth you may need to manually remove it from your Bluetooth devices. Learn how to complete this task on iPhone or Android with this wikiHow article .
