So, like the title says: My Raspberry pi 2b is not booting after the card was ejected while working.
I was watching some Kodi media, then it froze, I realized that the SD Card was ejected (there is a problem in the slot).
After that even though I have formatted the SD card and copied NOOBS, the pi is not booting. It just stays with green and red lights on and not flashing.

I would love to hard reset it somehow if that could be of any use but can't find how.

Any ideas?

There is NOTHING to reset if you do a fresh installation.

Do NOT use NOOBS install Raspbian.

If you install using Etcher (as recommended) this will verify the image after copying.

It is quite likely (if you have been using the same SD Card since the Pi2) that the SD Card is worn out - I suggest a new SD Card.

See The Boot Problems Sticky if you want to diagnose any problems.
