[T2] inverter reboot trick?

[MUTS]

This from another list:

"Bought a new 1000 watt pure sinewave inverter. Installed it where my 
old inverter was located using the same 4 gage cables. Got it installed, 
turned it on, came on for about five seconds with an error code, then 
shut down.  Checked the voltage at the battery and the back of the 
inverter, all good. Tried again, still didn't work. This morning called 
the place where I bought the inverter. Explained what was happening, and 
the tech rep said he had never heard of that before, especially since I 
was getting error codes for too much voltage, when nothing was plugged 
in. He said it would have to be replaced. Then he said there is one last 
thing you can try. He said to disconnect the cables at the house battery 
that run to the inverter, then touch the inverter + and - together. Said 
I should get a small spark. Then reattach the cables and try the 
inverter. Thinking this was going to be a waste of time, but I tried it 
anyway. Lo and behold, the inverter now works!  So if you're inverter 
quits, you just might want to try this. The tech guy said this 
discharges the capacitors and resets the inverter. Wish I had tried this 
with my old inverter before I replaced it.
