@cgm999 I couldn't find on the forum how to do a factory reset or hard reset precisely, so I only had the clue about using the "two-button reset." What I did was:
1) power down the device by holding the power button until the light went out.
2) hold the light button and than hold the power button without releasing the light button.
3) System is reinitializing.

Or did you mean that "bricking it" is a technical term, which means it is dead and utterly unresponsive? The device still flickered when I either powered on or reset the Aura through the paperclip hole.
