Reset Button Stuck...

[Stuart36]

hi, i recently opened up my model 1 Saturn so that i could clean it, but when i put it back together and plug it in, the screen just goes black. i tried taking the top off and plugging it in and it works fine. the only thing i see that looks broken is that i can't press the reset button in; it's stuck in the down position. i tried to fix it but i don't really see what the problem is. if anyone knows how to fix this i would be grateful. if you need pictures, just ask. thanks. Stuart.

Common issue when putting a model 1 back together, there's a long plastic stick that goes from the reset button down to the motherboard, it's not really connected either end.

First check that it's still there, then check that it's seated properly under the reset button when you put it back together, sounds like the casing is pushing it down permanently activating the little reset button down on the motherboard.

thanks. i worked it out in the end. it was as i thought, and as you said. the reset rod had bent slightly, so it was pointing a bit to the side and wasn't pushing through the hole. i feel a bit silly now since there wasn't really any outside input necessary, but yesterday i was just completely stumped...

That's ok, pretty much everyone does the same thing taking a Model 1 apart for the first time
