So............
I got a green light only.
battery was running low....it froze up, I took battery out and back in.
no go on booting up......
no M screen
plugged to usb I get the solid green light.
unplug, no light at all.
is doa...

****
Just noticed if I plug into wall outlet, get the battery icon and says 'o'...so I guess the moral is do NOT let it completely run out of juice. It won't even boot plugged in.
I thought it should boot up if plugged into a charging source.
Is something not right here?
I haven't done the update yet.

I ran mine dead yesterday, leave it plugged in for 20 min then boot. Should work.

Charging from USB only provides 500ma current capacity. The wall charger provides 850ma. Point being that USB ports are not the best way to charge the X unless you have a lot of time to leave it plugged in.

I learned this the hard way thinking mine was DOA as well but it needs to reach 5% charge before it will turn on.

I bought an extra 1000ma wall charger on ebay for $2. I keep one at home and one at work. The car charger is also rated at 1000ma so all is good.
