To clarify, the buttons needed for a hard reset are the most unreliable ones, but I'll try it anyway.
Doh, that makes sense - didn't realize you are missing the buttons you need.

One option might be trying to install PRS+ and reprogramming the buttons. It's a long shot, but you never know... It take 5-10 min to install it.

Of course, UNINSTALLING PRS+ might also be advisable, in case you have it installed.

The silver chipped off my buttons first days as well. The gray strip ABOVE the buttons survived a bit longer, but most of it is gone now. I was hoping the DecalGirl skin would cover it (as it does on the 350), but no, the skin for the 950 does not...
