I'm not sure that it is the battery - my symptoms don't match a post by Booxter explaining the symptoms of a dead battery. I have a blue light, and the orange light comes on when it's plugged in for charging. I can't turn it off, except by using the reset button. Then I can turn it on (the blue light comes on) but not off again. All the time the same screen with the lines that are slowly multiplying.

I haven't been able to find any post on here about killing Lithium batteries by letting them run down, but things elsewhere on the net suggest it reduces their life span, but that most of them shut down when the charge gets low to prevent this problem. I can't find anywhere in the UK to buy a new battery and am worried about invalidating the warranty if I try to open the thing up.

I did find another post by someone with a similar problem which was resolved eventually by sending it back to Booxtor, but no info on what the problem was.
