    It's not like the last time when it died completely on me; it powers on and stays like that but makes no effort to do qnything. Before this, I had to shut it down manually as it hung on the screen while I was trying to reset it.

    Is there some way to do a hard reset? It might have tried to hibernate and is now confused. What should I do?

    Ah remembered how to do it - took the battery out, held down power for half a minute. Also fixed the media control panel which had been broken for ages! gREAT,

    ah yes, the old IT support solution. "have you tried turning it off and on again?" simple but effective :)
