I have tried, in every combination mentioned on every forum I could find:
* making sure the charger was not plugged into the headphone jack
* charging 2 hours
* charging 24 hours
* charging 48 hours
* powering on while plugged in to the charger
* powering on while not plugged in to the charger
* holding the power on switch for 60 seconds
* pushing the reset button with a paper clip
* pushing the reset button with a paper clip for 30 seconds
* powering on while holding "menu" and "rotate" buttons for 30 seconds
My luck's been consistently bad--I've had the same lack of results with everything I've attempted.
I am open to suggestions. Can anyone offer any assistance?
Best,
Al

You need to find someone with a multimeter and have them read the voltage coming out of the charger. Insert a paper clip into the center lead and clip the positive lead (red) of the multimeter to the paper clip and the negative lead (black) of the multimeter to the outer. Plug the charger in and look for 12 VDC.
