Ask the customer to press reset. If there is no one nearby, wait - maybe it will catch itself.

@Harold I have added a raspberry pi to ping the ccgx and if it doesn’t get a response after a preset time it disconnects the power for a very short time then reapplies, it emails me to say it has done it, only happens very rarely.
