Before you do anything drastic -- try the reset button. Mine "died" a while back, and a quick poke with a paper clip did wonders !

Check the instructions before prodding blind tho !!   :y

Its common with TT's not to turn on.....give it a reset  :y

Look for tiny button by cradle connector.....give it a poke with a paperclip while pressing the on/off button :y :y

Are you sure its charged up?

Both my TT's have done this several times......refused to turn on.

Pressing the on/off button and keeping pressed whilst poking a wooden kebab stick on the reset button has always done the job.......it doesnt turn on when you do this.......but pressing the on/off button afterwards turns it on

This is going to sound stupid -- but ... are you sure it was the reset hole you stuck the paper clip ( or whatever) in ?? There are other unrelated pin holes in the casing -- check instructions as to which one you should be poking  :o  ( been there ... done that  :-[ )
