If you have an xcal just load the same tune over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't actually start but it's meant to reset everything.Not sure if true but. Edited 15/05/12 12:33 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
