Well, its not the battery. Measured with voltmeter at 3.8v after it had been used for a day and been reset (battery disc/recon) a few times. Had to use iPad all week again, camping. Fortunately was family car camping, so I had my Celestron Power tank and a 1 amp solar charger, and made due charging the iPad a couple times with a USB car adaptor.

Attempted a FW reset, and it made it to the second step a couple times (Press Okay), but wouldn't boot up/turn on afterwards. Now it is stuck on "Hanlin V5 Program Update Version 1.20 Feb 23 2010 Initialling Device". Power doesn't even come on any more.

Sigh.

Went out and bought a nook STR. Loved that PPro.
