I seriously doubt you can reset the thing without touching and almost surely scratching the sensor. But you might try it using staightened out paper clip with a bent end as a lifter. It's still real delicate. If it isn't under warrantee I'd spend an extra X hours on it, pull it apart, pull off the imager and maybe fix the thing, hoping it stays together till the trip is over. Then if anything else ever goes wrone it's no sweat because you've already been inside the M8.
