Pricking the RESET button on the back helped!!!

Hi again folks...

Back from the games (both kids won - whoopee!).

So...my brother asked about a "reset" button, and by golly...I knew there was one, but hadn't tried it. So that got the unit to "wake up."

Then I noticed that the battery indicator, which had "frozen" at "fully charged" now read "half-charged." As I used it to listen to some music last night while reading, it occurred to me that that could have contributed to the situation and the "fully charged" indicator was false...as it may not yet be properly calibrated.

So...long story short, I'm charging it off the adapter right now and will check later to see how things are behaving.

The good news is that even though it appeared to have been "bricked," in this instance popping the little reset button on the back of the unit will, at least, get it to reboot.

My apologies to everyone if I was too quick to "sound the alarm!"

Take care everyone, and please don't let my hysterics confuse you.

Thanks!
