ABSTRACT:
A central processing unit reset device for a portable computer system having no hardware reset switch. The central processing unit reset device includes a central processing unit having a reset terminal. A keyboard contains a plurality of discrete keys including a reset key that are independently operable by manual depression. The reset key serves as a reset switch for allowing a user to reboot an operating system of the central processing unit even when the central processing unit is locked in an infinite loop. A controller is electrically connected to the keyboard to scan the user's input through the keyboard and generate a reset request signal in response to the user's depression of said reset key on the keyboard. Finally, a reset driving circuit is electrically connected to the controller to generate a central processing unit reset signal to the reset terminal to reboot the operating system of the central processing unit.
