How to Reset your Nokia Lumia

Sometimes things just happen. You know, the types of things that  makes a device useless. You can’t turn on the screen, or it won’t respond, none of the buttons seem to be working, etc. Luckily most manufacturers put in some type of reset button combo in order to fix these issue when they do inevitably arise. Here’s the reset procedure for the Nokia Lumia 1020.(It Will also work on other Nokia Lumia Phones 920, 820, 720, 620, 925, 928)

1. Go to Settings > About > and Tap Reset Your Phone.

1. Press and Hold the Volume Down and Power button at the same time until you feel it vibrate then let go. This will reboot the device.

2. If the above doesn’t work, hold down Volume Down, Power and the Camera button at the same time.
