Is anyone familar with this terminal? I have one and

turned it off to disconnect a cable, when I turned it back on it said
Factory Cycle Test and started doing all kinds of self tests and video
tests. It endlessly repeats the tests and I can't find a way to stop it! I
Maybe the self-test switch is dirty or bad? Perhaps something is going on
inside electrically that is abnormal and the terminal has self-diagnosing
circuits to know this and it's defaulting into the self-test?
