    Have you tried using another battery to see if the problem remains?

    Try pressing the power button down for a few moments while the battery is out, plugging the battery back in, and pressing the power button again to see if it starts.

    I don't know what causes this, but it works for some models.

    EDIT: Sorry, I didn't even notice the date on this.
