Don't know what current thinking on the A330 is, let alone SOPs – but they would have been out of the window by 0213z.)
By FCOM and QRH, a PRIM or SEC reset (one at a time !) could be attemted by a crew if a failure is suspected or detected.
From my experience on the 330, I have never had or thought to reset such computer unless specifically requested by ECAM or QRH.
I take note for the CF6. Thanks.
