It wouldn't hurt to try and charge it for a couple of hours. You should
then try a reset. other then that, wait to you get it home to see if it
will connect to your pc at which point you might be able to reinstall the
firmware.

Could be a hardware issue or a dead hard drive though.

Sorry...rocker

Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that, i've tried the reset button a few
times, and
it still doesn't turn on. I've tried tapping it in once quickly, holding it
in
for a few seconds, and holding it in for 10+ seconds, and nothing.
Should I try
this while the charger is plugged in, whill that make any difference? I
haven't
tried plugging it in via USB at my friend's house 'cause I don't have a USB
cable with me.
