Someone from the island it's being shot on walked by: dusted it off, did some repairs and went back to the quonset for some quality US military issued food, just on the other side of the ridge!

You have me laughing out loud!
They used the classic IT "power cycle" trick. "Fixed it."

I doubt you'd even need to do repairs. Probably just dust it off; Curiosity is pretty hardy.
Resetting the rover is RISKY! If it doesn't turn back on again properly, you can't send another reset signal – it's over. That's why they didn't do it to try to fix any of the earlier issues.
