The battery life was always great. Never had any issues with that. I tried the reset and restart with the AC cord plugged in. The red and orange light is always strong and bright and the screen looks fine. I think the chip that stores the firmware got messed up somehow. Or the firmware itself somehow got corrupted. It has been on the charger now for 48 hours and still no luck. Stuck on the Start Up screen and I get a solid orange light ... not a blinking or flickering one like I usually got. I think the partition that stores the firmware got hosed.
