Do make sure you hold it for a timed 40 seconds.
Hi, I have gone back and tried everything again. Tried holding the power for 40 secs, 1 minute and 2 min, with various combinations of Home button, and volume down. Also sequences of 20 sec + 60 sec + del , off button for 20secs and then the home page icon for 1 minute, and off button for sucessive 60,40,20sec (all of which people have had sucess with.
I never get a blank screen, its just always stuck on the Please wait a moment" screen
The green power light does come on at various times (initial turn on, after 15 sec slide/hold or after releasing after 1 min. It goes out after a few seconds, but with no chang to the display)
