haven't used it in a while and when i've put it on charge with the mains charger is says fully charged. when i try and switch it on - nothing. it will switch on when plugged into the mains charger but won't even charge via usb. Any ideas on whats up or anyone have a solution?

sounds like the battery has failed
Maplin and other places do replacement ones, not the hardest thing in the world to replace

no, and i've toggled it loads trying to reset it, i think i'll just have to take it back and get an exchange, not looking forward to putting all my stuff back on it though:mad:It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
