My clara hd is about 18 months old. It has always had an issue of complete battery drainage overnight if kept in Sleep mode, so I have it set to Power off 15 minutes after closing the lid.

Currently the screen is its normal powered off and % read on the cover image.
But there is no response to the power button press, no Restore screen after holding it down 60 seconds, no response to charging 4 hours, no power on light on the power button, nothing at all..

When powered off, charge state was about 80%, and I believe these devices will function when charging even if the battery is completely kaput or absent, so am wondering if the problem may be with the power button itself, though its action feels normal.

Advice please.
