How can I do factory\hardware reset for MMDVM?

... ATM, all I have is a solid green light and flashing red LED when turning on

What is not working. My hotspot was working, but now it is not. I thought it might be a corrupted Pi-Star system because it failed several months ago and I got working by reinstalling Pi-Star. This time I can not get working after re-installing Pi-star. The LED screen remains blank. There is no "Pi-Star Setup" WiFi Network being broadcast to other devices. Also, there is not video signal going out the HDMI port.

What is working. The Pi-Zero board appears to be working fine. Used a small linux distro and was able to boot up the system without errors.

Looking for a way to do a hardware reset and other ideas to try

Thanks

It may be worth removing and reseating the HAT a few times, sometimes the pins on the connectors tarnish and make poor connections. A few wipe cycles will restore function if this has happened in your case.
