500 Locked Up

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before (I took a quick look but didn't see this problem addressed).

I turned on my 500 (it hadn't been used in a while; I mostly use the 505 and my wife rarely uses the 500). Anyway, the starting up screen came up, but didn't go away. After about 10 minutes I noticed that it was still on that screen. I powered off but nothing happened. I tried 3 or 4 times and it finally powered off. I turned it back on and it got stuck on the starting up screen again. This time, I have been unable to turn it off. Also, I've tried hitting the reset button on the back; no luck. It's now been on (stuck on the starting up screen) for about a day and nothing that I've tried has gotten it past that screen, to turn off, or to reset. Do I have to just wait for the battery to die? Then what?
