Why everyone hate Tech Support.
Do be sure that you unplug the backup 9V battery at some point in the sequence, otherwise it will do its job and keep things from fully shutting down.
In my experience it’s worse during competition.
i think there is a tiny hole in it to inset like a paper clip end and reset it.
Instead of resetting the vexnet (which am not certain is possible), maybe try updating the cortex and controllers’ firmware.
