Unfortunately the Aura HD has a design flaw in that simply pressing the light and power buttons together will activate the full reset.

It sounds like you're in a similar situation I was in when I accidentally activated the full reset on a flat battery. I did eventually manage to get it charged up enough to reactivate the full reset and have it run to completion, unfortunately I didn't keep a record of every step I took.

I was trying various combinations of plugged/unplugged, pinhole reset and force power off (hold slider across for ~15 seconds).

I'm not sure when it was charging as it never indicated, but the last few steps I took were:

I tried a full reset, no sign of anything.

I plugged it into USB, for some reason the LED came on this time. Left it for four more hours (I couldn't tell if it was charging, but LED stayed on all that time).

With it still plugged in (and lit up) I tried the full reset, nothing happened.

I held down the power button for a few seconds to turn it off normally, light remained on. Tried a full reset again, nothing happened.

Holding the power button down for longer for a forced shutdown made the light go out. With it still plugged in trying a full reset caused the LED to flash slowly a couple of times, then rapidly then the restoring screen came up and ran to completion.
