From your first post I understand that you were able to power the device several times on and off, and that the screen did not change. I think the most likely explanation is that the device had some hardware problem. On power on, KSM usually presents the main menu. This involves overwriting the screen. If there is not user input, nickel is started automatically after 20 secs or so (unless you changed this in the configuration), this involves several further screen updates. As the KSM menu was unable to effect the screen (nor nickel and its starting animation, I guess), any script to update the screen would also have failed.

Holding the power button powers the device off. This is important, when some application becomes unresponsive. It would not be a good idea replace this function by one that factory resets the device.

How did you try to factory reset the device?
