Hello Scott, Thank you.
I did let the phone run all the way down but did not wait your recommended 1 hour before beginning the recharge. I will let it run down, again, and then wait the one hour before recharging. Should I perform the hard reset when the phone is at 0% power? or at 100% full power. Does it matter if the phone is connected to a power outlet at the time of the hard reset?

Then wait an additional hour or so after this point and charge it fully with a complete cycle. Let me know if that’s more clear. > On Oct 23, 2015, at 3:16 PM, M.
