How to Hard Reset — NEC N500
The NEC N500 is a 2004 device. It features a TFT resistive touchscreen, 256K colors, 176.0x220.0 display and is available in White, black.
The N500 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion battery, a Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 80 g.
Hard Reset on the NEC N500 works differently than it does on Android, since this phone uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.
On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.
NEC N500 is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone
The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below
If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
