So would running down the battery be an alternative to hitting the reset button? I ask because currently my Rockbox isn't responding to anything, not even reset. I'm at a loss for how to fix the problem. My only thought is to run down the battery until the protection circuits kick in and cut off power. It probably wouldn't take too long, either, since I'm pretty sure the disk is running as well
So... would I damage my battery and/or make it unchargeable if just let it run down? For that matter, would I damage the disk?
