Broken reset button

Long story short, I stuck a needle in to hold down a reset button, and I broke off the reset button. I tried to put the switch back on the board and drop some superglue because I’m bad at soldering. I can’t even seem to form a connection. I don’t really even need the switch back on there. I just need it reset once.


It’s a brand new wave maker. Needed to reset because it doesn’t work on 5g WiFi….

Does anyone have any idea?

Sand the connectors with fine sandpaper then try to hold and reset. Hopefully with a little luck it will work.

I have been unsuccessful using paperclips ect...
Which connections did you try to connect with a paperclip? My guess would be that you would need to complete the circuit by connecting where I put a red line.
