There was a sticker on the back of the unit saying "QC passed", and it was an obvious refurb. Screen looked like it was wiped with dirt streaks. Other than that, it looks in decent condition.

Fingers crossed!
The refurb aspect makes me think the over-discharged battery is likely. Li-Ions should be stored at 40-50% charged whilst on the shelves to prevent them going flat before reaching the customer. Refurbs unfortunately don't always receive a charge before going back on the shelves.
If it is an overly flat battery then it may be that the life of the battery has been shortened, but by how much, and how annoying it will be, are for the future.
