Minitor 5 will not enter programming mode

I have a minitor 5 and when I try to enter programming mode it just turns on as normal. It has stored voice but when I press the button on the selector knob it functions the same as the reset button no matter what channel it is on. It's almost like something is wrong with the hardware because its not always functioned this way. Does anyone have any ideas at least on how to fix it?

Put the channel selector on "C", hold the reset button while turning the power on. Don't let go of reset until the pager stops beeping.

I know how to do it. It will not give the long beep. Just turns on as normal

After programming about 100 units one day i had one that I couldnt get into programming mode as well. I tried and tried and figured i had a bad unit. Then i realized i was holding down the replay button instead of the button on the corner. I then realized it was time to take a break.

(Thats my non-condensending way of saying "are you pushing the right button?")
