Short (1 second) press on the button restarts the Touch. It's like telling your PC to restart instead of shutdown. Works fine. No harm to Touch or your settings. Long press will restart the Touch but will restore factory (default) settings. You can't really do it by mistake, you have to press the button for quite a while. Restoring the default settings can be very useful if you are having problems and don't know why. If you go back to default and everything works then you know your particular setup was the cause. I've also used it once or twice when the Touch got confused after I made changes to my network. It was easier to just run the default settings and set the Touch up again from scratch that it was to mess around with it and try to get it to work. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; KRK Ergo, MF V DAC3, MF X-150 amp, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.

I find this somewhat tiresome but a good start following a software update. Sorry, but that's just wrong. I just did a reboot on my Touch and it didn't clear the network or wifi settings or anything else. It didn't even clear the playlist that was active at the time I rebooted. As noted earlier in this thread, there is a difference between rebooting via the button (give it a short press), versus using the button for a factory reset (press and hold the button for ~15 seconds). The latter _will_ clear network settings. The former will not. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to reboot Touch?
Press the small hardware reset button on the back. It's on the lower left side as you face the front of the Touch. If you hold it for ~15 seconds it will do a factory reset of the Touch, and the screen will confirm that it is doing a factory reset. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier that you can do _either_ a short press (~2 sec) for a warm reboot, or a long press (~15 sec) for a factory reset. If anything, I would think that using the button is less 'intrusive' than simply pulling plug, because with the button press there is at least the possibility of triggering a proper shutdown sequence before restarting. I don't know if the button in fact does that, but I am 100% sure that pulling the plug does not. But for all practical purposes there ain't that much difference between pulling the plug and pressing the reset button. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
