What should I do if the BOOT button in the JetHome JetHub H1 controller is broken?

On the back of the controller, between the Ethernet and microUSB interfaces, there is a BOOT button recessed into the case. The button allows you to switch the controller to the firmware mode. Some users inattentively read the sequence of actions when flashing the controller, described in our documentation, and use excessive force to tear the button off the board or cause mechanical damage to it. Thus, they make it unusable. 

How to click the button correctly?

• We take a pointed object - a paper clip or a toothpick will do just fine. 
• Unplug the controller.
• You can practice and feel button press stroke. When pressed correctly, you will feel the characteristic click of the microswitch.
• Press the button and apply power to the controller. You can start the flashing process. 

 Full firmware instructions described here.

Attention! To prevent mechanical damage to the BOOT button, when accessing the button through a hole in the controller case, do not use sharp objects and do not apply much force when pressing the button.

If the button is broken, do not panic. You can flash the controller using Amlogic Burning Tool. To do this:
