So maybe you want to turn it on and press the RESET switch on the back side. Then, when it cycles through the reboot - and gets to the Library screen - go ahead and turn it off and attach it for a charging. No, the battery cover shouldn't get too warm.

Then post back and tell us what happens when you turn it on again.

Derek I didn't turn it on before charging. I took it out of the box and charged it without turning it on. However, the screen wasn't blank then. It had the "checkered" screen.

Also, I haven't been able to turn it on. I press the power button and nothing happens. Screen stays blank and LED light stays off, even after holding it down for a few seconds.
