He then held the power button to the right for a longer period. The KT powered on. He's not sure which key-action actually allowed for the power-on (the simultaneous pressing of home button and sliding of power button or the holding of the power button to the right position) since he did both in sequence so quickly. FWIW, the firmware was 1.9.6.
You should be aware that pressing the Home button while powering-on the Touch could have an unintended consequence. If you release the power-on slider WHILE still holding down the Home button, a factory reset will be triggered.
