Is my new 2700 dead? (needed for trip)
I received a HDD (Samsung 500gb) to put in my new 2700 (v. 1.02) today. The 2700 recognized the disk and offered to format it. I attached the AC adapter and ran the format. Then I ran a "full" HDD diagnostic which beeped with success after a few hours. I turned off the unit and left it on the AC charger to finish charging the battery.
An hour or so later, with the red "charging" LED still lit, I tried to turn the unit on but it will not respond. I have tried it with and without the AC adapter, pressing the reset button and tried re-seating the HDD. Holding down the button will not wake up the machine. Am I missing something? How do I turn the unit back on? Or is it dead? I even tried a different HDD without success.
Of course, I'm leaving on the trip that I purchased the 2700 for in just over 2 days.
Help?
