my friggin MP3 player keeps freezing periodically so I was at work trying to figure it out. it was like frozen up for 3 hours until i could find a paperclip this weekend while snowshoeing. it sucked...
so I came up with this

The Right Size

make sure you find a piece of wire that actually fits in the reset hole. this time size does matter...
Paperclip

use the bent end of the paper clip, this makes a nicer bend. it just makes it easier, trust me, if you use the flat section of the paperclip it just is more difficult.
Bend the Clip

in my office i only had a pair of cutters so I had to bend the wire with that, a good pair of pliers would work better.
Snip Off the Extra Wire

make it as small as possible, you dont want it snagging on somthing
That's It

so when youve made the little reset tool, crimp it CAREFULLY around yopur headphone wire, seeing as I only had the wirecutters I was verry careful, I also bent the tool so it would lay flat against the wire
Hey, drills have chuck tools mounted on their cords, why dont MP3 players/ anything else that needs to be reset periodically come with this?
