PRS-600 Frozen PRS-600

Hey,
I have a new PRS-600. It was given to me for my birthday 3 months ago, I turned it on once that day and have not used it since.
Today I started charging it. I charged it for 5 minutes until my sister unplugged it by mistake. She tried to turn it on and it froze on a 'no battery' screen.
I cannot turn it on or off.
When I try to charge it the red light doesnt appear either!
I have tried resetting it but that hasnt worked
Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?

The battery is completely discharged. It will need to fully charge before you are able to use it again. It seems normal that it freezes on the last screen it remembers. If you plug into your computer make sure the computer stays turned on and doesn't go into hibernate mode. You probably won't see the red light for a few hours if charging via a computer. The alternative is to get a Sony PSP charger and use this to revive the 600. You will probably see a red light right away and it will probably be good to go after an overnight charge.

Are you charging from USB port, or using an adaapter (Official or PSP) ?

Charging via USB can be a problem with very flat battery !
