Do you still have the home dock and mains charger? if so what does it do when connected to the mains.

Sorry to inform you but shoving a paperclip in the hole on the front of the device will have broken the devices microphone, the reset button is underneath the unit next to the electrical connections the mount/ dock uses, you are best to use a pin/ needle to press the switch as its smaller than most paperclips.

Try resetting the unit - Mike
