Recalling the messages from December, it looked like proper operation of the reset circuitry at power-up expected the presence of the battery to power the reset circuitry with 12V prior to the 5V bus coming up. It looks like you could add a reset switch to the unit by paralleling R406 (11K) with a NO pushbutton switch and ~ 4.7 uF cap (all 3 in parallel). Closing the pushbutton switch simulates the absence of 5V. The cap provides a little debounce delay, but may not even be necessary.
