I have to. No choice. Nothing I can do to bring it back to life, tried everything I could think of. No luck.

what about connecting to the PC - any luck there, try holding power as you connect it

There are two usb connectors, tried both to pc, hold the power button, no response.

Guess what, after i leave it for awhile, trying to turn on again while connecting to the pc and hold the power button again, hola!!! it's alive again! phewww.........but the pc shows nothing about apad, no connecting sound, nothing pups up.

Now i'm not sure what to expect for this? so far browsing is great, but i don't really want to facing this problem if it keeps happen like that.

well these pads are basic to say the least, the OS is fine its the hardware that's cheap and some units show it more than others

Personally i dont like it, as we are essentially in un-branded player territory again, somewhere where we have been trying to get out of for a while, which is why we now buy big name Chinese products and not no-name player off ebay and other dodgy shores, but, because we have wifi and android suddenly we are buying cheaply made players again - but again, many will be fine, and for what you are getting its damn cheap really so we have to give them the credit due

good to see it working again, i have seen a good few incidents like this on slatedroid, leaving and prodding seems to kick them back to life again

lol...for the prize I paid, it's really cheap, i did expect it's not as fantastic as my experience with others, well, i just hope my journey with it won't be too short, it all depends on will it be on when i need it. let's hope it'll turn on next time. :P

Put it in a box with a usb cable and portable charger, it can be the next version of Schrödinger's cat.

I had to Google what Schrödinger's cat even was, lol. I had no idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat
