power-cycled

Restarted by unplugging

Power-cycled describes a device that has been turned off and back on again to reset it or clear an error state.

The technique is basic troubleshooting for electronics—computers, routers, phones: I power-cycled the modem and the connection came back.

The verb is power-cycle; the noun is power cycle.
