Me too.

But i found a strange fix.

Charge for 3 hours on wall charger - the red light did not show while doing this and turning the power button on the 505 and reset after doing this gave no results....it was dead.

Now unplug the charger. Connect USB to 505, still dead. Press reset, turn on power and it came back from the dead.

Thank goodness.
