Hello,

You definitely bring up a good point as normal functionality of reset
buttons is that the circuit breaks and resets the unit. The reason I
thought something may be different in the H140's circuitry is because I
found a post by searching Google where someone's player froze and they
too couldn't get the reset to work even though it felt properly when
pushing the button. They thought their button worked and had to drain the
battery to reset. I thought I was experiencing the same problem!

However, I just tried resetting my player just now (while it is in normal
working order) and it wouldn't reset either. I am using a paper clip and
can feel the spring on the button working so it would seam it is pressing
though I obviously don't know what the contacts are doing behind the
button. I guess something must be up with the button then, though it
doesn't explain the MP3 playing freezing problem but thanks for helping me
with this one!
