I will assume you have already tried resetting the device by pressing the reset button on the back. Didn't work? I am only shooting in the dark here but try this -- open the back and disconnect the battery for a few moments, then connect it again. Several people that have the Pandigital Novel have reported that doing this restored a device that appeared to be bricked. Good luck.
About the battery, from what I know about e-ink screens, it should consume power only when you *turn* pages or play music. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
