It could be the common reset problem: http://www.consolevision.com/members/fa ... tfix.shtml

Personally, I've always found this "bending pins" lark a bit of a crock. I think the physical act of taking off the power board and then replacing it should be sufficient to do the job.
If you take off your power board, and give the pins a bit of a wipe, maybe put the board on and off the pins a few times, this should be more than enough to clean off any gunk that has become oxidised to the connections at this area. The spring loaded contacts on the power board should take care of ensuring proper contact if the pins are clean.
Of course, I could be totally wrong, and it mightn't work in all situations, but whenever my DC has resetted (and it has done so two or three times over the last year), it's been stubborn and continued resetting until I opened her up, and gave her pins a clean. She then behaved for another 3 or 4 months before doing it again.
