Disaster!!!
  
​
  
​My eMate 300 still won't come on. Shows no signs of life? And it was so new!!!!
  
​
  
​I tried all the steps below and still nothing. The battery has been plugged back in for over an hour. I've tried to do a short reset and a long reset, still nothing happens. I even did the hard recovery, but I get nothing on the screen.
  
​
  
​Anybody want to try and fix this before I just put it away forever?
  
​
  
​Desparate!

I tested the outlet and it?s sending power. I?ve did the two seconds reset and then the 15 second reset and still nothing.
