Dear readers: If the batteries are completely dead, you need to trickle charge it using those large silver pads for a few minutes. The control board is clearly powered exclusively by the batteries, so a reset doesn't help if there is nothing to reset. The wall charger does not power the control board at all. Another video showed the UA-camr using a 4a battery minder. I used a DC power supply that I already owned, set to 12v at 1.3A for about 5 minutes. It didn't even pull 1W after 5 minutes, but the C26 connected and a few minutes later began charging.
Mine doesn't seem to have them either. There are 2 wires running from the top left (in your photo) to where these reset holes should be, but they are covered with some sort of rubbery stuff (like to hold the wires in?). FYI, my light is a Flashpoint, but that's just Godox branded by Adorama, I believe.
I have done this TWO times to my Flashpoint batteries..not working as much and they sit for many months...but came back to life with this great tip.

Thanks so much! I took mine apart and charged it using the two large terminals, but the battery never worked until I did this reset.
My battery doesn't have those two reset holes, any suggestion? :(

@@LisaMaco-um2wl Same same. Any solutions?
Same here :(
I only seem to have 1 hole... it looks like the bottom one is soldered?
My battery has plenty of juice, but it’s not connecting to the charger. This reset didn’t seem to work.
Same here...
Thanks so much!
