S2 not resetting?

Hello all. New to Scribbler 2. Following instructions trying to use the reset button for demo modes, it appears my reset button does nothing. Any I missing anything? Other than pressing firmly and holding for a few seconds, are there any other secrets? I'm supposed to hear a tone when it resets. But again, nothing. Ideas? Thanks

    RESOLVED! I had to connect the S2 to my PC and using the Parallax software, reset the S2 to factory program. Works now!!! Hope this helps someone sometime.

    If you have fresh batteries and if you haven't loaded any new software into the S2, the reset button should work as advertised. Pressing it should immediately cause a response in the LEDs and an actual reset after a couple seconds. (It's not really a hardwired reset button, BTW, but one that the driver software can respond to by performing a soft reset.) If this continues to be a problem, you will want to call Parallax tech support on Monday.
