When I say "switch," I mean a button. It should be a very small button ...
sorry for the wording.
Removing the 100CT from all power (battery and AC) should allow you to get a
fresh startup the next time you plug it in -- except when it hibernates to
disk, in my experience. The reset button should work to get you started
over.
