But assuming you count a little longer than 10 (I always do 12), you should be fine. (This is a "hard reset" way to turn the system off)
Then just click once (or in my case, I sometimes have to click a second time) the power button to turn the unit on again. You can tell it is starting because the green light will start to blink.
Of course, if your battery has died on you, then you'll need to charge.

Off topic, Laura, but I see you are from Nova Scotia! My wife and I travelled from Toronto to take in the Cabot Trail last September on our Honda Goldwing motorcycle. What a FANTASTIC tour that was. Your province is absolutely incredible to visit. Where in the world, can you go only 20 km's down ANY road, and be immersed into another emigrated culture, or a 'flavoured' variant of the same you just left in the last town/village?!?!? We were there for two weeks, and have already decided that we need to fly back out of Hamilton, Ontario via the West Jet direct flight to Moncton...to rent a car, and take ANOTHER two weeks to savour the people, cuisine, and topography that we just didn't have time in the first two weeks of visiting! I'd move/retire to Nova Scotia in a HEARTBEAT! We ride horses (have four of 'em) and that is the 'angle' I'm trying to seduce my wife into grabbing at.... "Hon...just IMAGINE the rides we can enjoy on our way to the seashore....". Laura, do you think I even stand a chance with that tact? LOLOLOLOL! Wish me luck...
Signed, 'Ontario Land-locked.....sigh...'
P.S. When we were down there, around Digsby (sucking back fresh sea food!) I asked to join in (jam) with the local pub band, and ended up playing traditional Irish and Scottish reels on the piano and a chap's accordian. What a BLAST! What a BLAST! The best vacation I have ever had, bar none. Nova Scotia...you are very lucky to live there... The people are the best.....
