Many devices have a tiny hole leading to a hidden reset button, that
you have to poke something through to reset them.  I wouldn't recommend
actually using a pin, though.  They can cause damage.

I have a packet of wooden kebab sticks that get used for all sorts of
things that have nothing to do with their original purpose, likewise
with toothpicks and paperclips.

Yet another reason why I don't like batteries sealed in units.

You're lucky that *that* firmware update is just a patch applied each
runtime, then.  If it had been and update that actually reflashed the
device, it'd be a permanent change.
