Hard reset without power button, how?

[Rickstur]

My power button stopt working, so i am sending my device back for RMA but I don't want to sent it with al of my data on it. Is there a way I can hard reset without the power button??

Unplug and plug the battery ;)

If that doesn't work, send me a PM.

That just gives my a soft reset, I need a hard reset.
I can drain both batteries but that my take too long.

If you search in this forum for "hardreset.exe" you'll find a small program which makes the hardreset w/o key. I can't remember where it was.

Or download a shipped-rom from the ftp & extract all files from it. Enterbl.exe should be one of them. Put that one on your magician with Act.Sunc. Execute it from within File Explorer on the magician & your device goes into bootloader (you know dark screen reading serial v1.xx). Now soft-reset & your done.
