Milo:
You are correct. Got home last night, after powering the piece of cow dung off the night before, and there was the power button glowing blue again, as well as the battery LED. No response
to depressing the button aka, dead as a gold fish in a bowl.
I'm beginning to think the piece of doo-doo is possessed. Perhaps a good drop on its' head, from about 50', will do it in permanently.
Oh well. I guess it's time to scavenge parts from it. That's about all it's worth now anyway.
