Shimano satellite ON/OFF switch problem, or battery, or ???

Tried the "Block pedal/chainring with Allen key trick on my ep8 Canyon Torquen today and hey presto everything came back to life. Awesome hack, thankyou.

Do we know if this works on the E8000 as well?

Just did the back pedal with allen wrench trick on my Cannondale Moterra 5 Shimano Steps BT E8035 ~ 504 w
Works just like before ... battery doesn't appear to be dead just sleeping?
Sat for a few winter months wouldn't turn on ... Battery was fully charged in the fall
Ready to ride!!
Shimano should really put this info out there was doing all kinds of diagnostics with multi meter etc... when it was a couple minutes to fix it by back pedaling.
I actually had the bike upside down and did it instead of on a block or stand.
