what do you do when it is completely dead and you need to turn it back on?

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

I just let the battery die and it reset itself when I plugged it back in and turned it on

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

Try taking the battery out while plugged in and turned off. Turn it on without the battery installed. If it does not work the computer has a power supply problem most likely. I have replaced my power supply twice and my battery four times in 6 years.

maybe, your software/firmware might need refresh and or update, if still not working after that then yup it's probably dead...(might try new fresh batteries too....)

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

My battery is dead as well. I think it's under the housing & not accessible by a non mechanic. Luckily mine is a pull start as well.

I had something similar. It may just be hung, not dead. Try holding the power button for a whole minute. If that does not work, press power button and volume up at the same time for 15 - 20 seconds. If a text only screen with selection of choices comes up, just select boot normally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0QTdNFkcd8

Mine was dead on arrival. my suggesting is to test the product out immediately to make sure it is working.

With lots of electronics, you can try holding the power button to reset it. Good luck.

Mine was dead also, but I took a paperclip opened up and did the reset several times and it worked and it turned back on and is working fine right now.

Try holding the power button until it's off and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, try popping out the battery and putting it back in to see if that resets it.

That had happened to me as well. Just unplug and try plugging it back in. Took a few tries but back up in no time. Great purchase sounds great.

Just take out the battery if you can then count to ten and put it back. Then restart.

I had similar trouble. Was about to return and them it suddenly turned on. Have no idea but it has been a year since and working fine. Touch wood.My suggestion - unplug and try after a while. Nothing scientific.

I'm guessing you can put paper in it and then unplug the power from the back and plug it back in and it will most likely reset itself and operate correctly.
