When a T2000 (a TB+ in the white case with 2 buttons on the front) gets into a strange state, is there a way to do a hardware reset? On the older Trailblazer pluses (brown case, no buttons on front), there was a small hole in the back of the case near where the power cord connected where one could poke a paperclip inside to reset it to factory settings, but this feature seems to have gone away with the new style case/board. It there another way to do it? I am not afraid to open the case up to short a contact/remove a battery/whatever it takes to get the job done.

[ wants to know how to reset a Trailblazer Plus ]
The little hole for the reset button came back with the T-1000, it's
behind the plastic overlay for the LED's. You just flex the plastic
and there it is. The T-1000 doesn't have the A/B or T/D buttons that
the T2000 does.
My reading of pages 3-6 and 3-7 in TFM suggest that a hard reset (like
you get with the paper clip on the old ones and the T-1000) is done by
pressing and holding T/D as the modem powers up. They tell you to press
it and hold it until the MR indicator comes on. They go on to tell you
how to get "Conventional" (unconventional Hayes V series) command mode,
you hold T/D for at least two seconds and toggle A/B to the other position,
still holding T/D in until MR comes on.
I don't know if that's a truly hard reset but it seems so from what I
read. Setting "Conventional" command mode is similar on the T-1000
but you have to poke a paper clip in the hole in the front.
