Hi Doug, I've had this sort of thing happen when I've let the bettery run completely dry when first getting it. Make sure that your battery is all charged up and the try pressing and holding the power on button for a long, long time. If you think that you have waited long enough, wait another minute and then release the button and then give it a quick press and release. Also, release the button if it starts to boot. If that doesn't work try this when the charger is plugged in. That worked for me. I haven't let the battery run dry since and I haven't had any problems. /Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
