hi paolo,
you say you've only had your opus for a few weeks, i suspect that your battery is dead. it can be disconcerting at first to see something displayed on the screen when the device does not work ; it's because no power is needed to maintain the display, so it appears to be "stuck on". the battery meter which shows how much charge is left needs a few cycles to parameter itself ; so it might show you still have 20%, when in fact you have no battery. or it could show that you have none, when really you have 20%. try doing a full charge of the opus and see whether that helps. the battery meter will eventually become accurate when it has been able to correctly gauge the real charge over several cycles (charged / empty) and you won't have that trouble any more. let us know if this works... good luck !
