zeffwikSpecifically a Xeon flash camera, and it be fixed by covering one chip on the board. Also it isn't a hard reset it locks up, you have to unplug it and replug it.

DxyzkYes it does. The power regulator chip is an open semiconductor design to save money, and any burst of bright light with (presumably) ultraviolet light will cause it to reset. Xenon flash seems to be the most reliable way to crash the Pi 2.
