Aha!
I plugged my T1 into the PC with the USB cable, and the red power light stayed on this time. I pressed the reset button and power button at the same time, and the "opening book" screen popped up! It seemed to be stuck there, so I hit the reset button again and this time the T1 started normally - "opening book" screen and the little progress meter moved.
When I disconnected the T1, it immediately started to shut down saying it was out of battery.
Maybe this was simply a flat battery?
Anyways, I'm hugely relieved and now appear to have a normal T1 again (well, I'm letting it charge first!).
Note that I plug my T1 in every day to let Calibre download my nightly news stories, and have been doing only this since I got it for Xmas (so for about six months). It's usually plugged in for about ten or fifteen minutes a day. I have never explicitly plugged it in just to charge it, but also I've never looked at the battery charge state either.
Cheers,
(Happy) Simon.
