Unfortunately there is no reset button for what we see in the photo above. Probably not worth salvaging it so might as well do a proper job of it and push it over the side. It's gonna need a lot of time in the miracle room to fix that one, might as well write it off and buy a new (i.e. used) one. Used C++'s are real cheap now. Much cheaper than fixing a seriously busted one.
I was sat at the simulator IOS once watching a crew 'perform' (in more ways than one!) and thereafter recalled having had a thought. Years later I was clearing out junk in the house, and came across a note pad I had been using during that session, with a note at the top right corner circled - "note to self, never fly Garuda!"
