    tried removing the battery and holding the powerbutton to completley power down the unit ? ( dunno if it would help if was something a bit more serious)

    Is the screen completely blank? or is there a _ sign in the upper Left hand corner (not blinking). If so, I had the same problem with a bad bios upgrade. I fixed it by re-flashing the original bios.
