Don't hold the reset button for 30 sec. Just push it and release, 
then wait for 5 sec., then attempt a restart. Holding the reset 
button could fry the mail logic board, according to Apple Tech (they 
gave me the impression they would void the warranty or escalate your 
repair tier, if they thought the MLB died from "reset button abuse").
