MXQ Pro 4k Recovery mode S905 - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Hi all,
just picked up an MXQ Pro 4K android box from bangood
http://www.banggood.com/MXQ-Pro-4K-...-1GB8GB-TV-Box-Android-Mini-PC-p-1015008.html
and i've been trying to get the thing into recovery mode but no luck so far. The reset switch is located at the back of the spdif port and powering the device up with it depressed does absolutely nothing it just boots up as normal.
Any ideas?
cheers, Lee

Update: Think I may of discovered why the 'reset' switch does nothing, it would seem one of the terminals isn't actually connected to anything. Pressing the switch shorts out the terminals with the red arrows ...

Hi Lee,
there was a similar problem with my box. I don't fix the button but you can enter recovery by installing a Terminal Emulator and type in 'reboot recovery'. When you want to boot from SD or USB you can make a fake update. Create a zip with a harmless textfile, call it 'update.zip' and make a system update with it like Craig mentioned in the LibreElec Forum (can't post the link here, because I don't write more than 10 messages. Search for thread 1497 and post 12351). When you boot up LE one times, the box will always check, if there is a medium on USB 4 or SD to boot from first. There is another solution from cHarOn on the LE Forum (thred 1497 and post 12351 I don't test. Maby this will fix the button (when it is physical connected).
I hope this can help you with the box.
