    Have you tried unplugging it for the mains , then remove the battery and then hold the power button down for 20 seconds , then replace the battery and connect the mains , and press the power button and see what happens.

    I have with the same result - light flashes when i press the power button (it doesnt do it every time mostly just when i first press it)

    i have also tried leaving the battery out for a couple of days, with the same result

    as well as a different charger (my brother had an R20)
