There is no full factory wipe on the Nova 2 Lite; a force shutdown via HOME + M (about 10s) clears a frozen state, and the pinhole Reset on the back is the last resort. Double-tapping M clears Turbo if that is misbehaving. After restarting, reselect your mode and re-pair, deleting the old entry from the host if pairing is stubborn.
