Hey I think we may have found the issue/fix, if you were still interested in giving it a shot. We were able to press the reset button normally when you apply pressure upwards from the bottom of the front IO panel (the underside of the black plastic block that's holding all of the cabling basically). And we were also able to safely unplug stuff from the front while we were applying pressure to the underside like this. To "fix" this, we removed the front panel of the case and put a metal bracket with some double sided mounting strip to attach it to the dust filter, so that when you attach the front panel it'll apply the upwards pressure needed. Took us forever to figure it out and I'm amazed we were able to find a solution.

Hey Edsyl, Did you end up finding a fix for this by chance? I JUST ran into the issue myself yesterday. The restart button is stuck and whenever I unplug anything from my front mic or audio jack, the whole computer restarts. Pretty bad. But as you said, there doesn't seem to be a way to get into the port from the inside, because there's something blocking it.
