Baofeng UV-5R frozen on a frequency

<<fixed 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ >> pls delete this post 
 

I had the channel lock on (Symbol by the battery with a key displayed). removed that by holding down the # key
 

@Frederic @Gaurav I have been using my Baofeng UV-5R since starting with the club (6 rides no issues). 
 

testing for tomorrow’s drive my unit is stuck on the channel I last used (2).  The buttons when pressed make a sound to show they are functioning however none work?  The menu button, a/s band, up-down buttons and all numbers do not seem to work. 
 

I have removed the battery and given it some time but still not allowing any keys to work. 
 

have you experienced this previous and is there a way to hard reset the device.  It’s nice having a second radio so if I can get it working that would be great!
 

@Ale Vallecchi I do have a spare radio  so am all good for tomorrow so no troubles there. 
 

thanks in advance

Hi Nikki , last time I was in desert I faced same issue and luckily I always keep a spare radio , it turned out when I went back home that it was on Lock Screen , unlocked it and issue solved 😄
