Not if reset causes damage in the first place, it is too late then. Granted
you can remove the card before the packages are mounted, but it must be
reset first and that may cuase problems (pressing the reset buttion at least
is in question). So catch 22 since the above is refering to a full lockup
and you can't use a package to reset.
