I've seen a short term freeze before, but nothing like you are experiencing.

In my experience it's usually best not to poke sharp metal objects into holes of an electronic device unless you know what you are doing hehe

Let us know how you go with it!

That's exactly the suggestion they gave me. Did not work though and they immediately acknowledged I must have a faulty unit and would send me a replacement device overnight.
