   I recall one particularly painful reset method on an Andriod device that   
   required holding in the tiny on/off switch and volume-down buttons for   
   120s. Your fingers start to go numb after about 90s.

   Some things do that automatically.   
      
   Various smart speakers and some high end internet tuners for example   
   when the protocols are changed and the makers CBA to support old kit.
