Title is mostly self-explanatory.

The JBL was working fine last night. I was copying files directly to it w/ the USB, as the SD card I had laying around wouldn't be recognized with any computer I had.

After I took the JBL off the USB, it just wouldn't turn on, even with a fresh set of AA batteries.

I can hold the RESET and POWER buttons, and it makes it seem like it's doing something, but as soon as I let go of either button, the screen just fades away to nothingness.

Very strange, and I don't know what to do. I'm not sure if I really trust this thing to be RMA'd for exchange. Perhaps for a regular Jetbook?? That might be a better choice. Perhaps the regular Jetbook doesn't have the screen flicker as well. Hmm...

Anybody else had this dilemma before? I believe I've got about 10 days to return/exchange.
