1) By all means remove the flash card before resetting. Cards can be
damaged if they are in the MP during a reset.
2) Remove both backup and main batteries
3) Press the power on switch and hold it in that position for 2 - 3 minutes.
4) For good measure, leave the MP alone for a couple of hours.
5) Make sure the backup battery is ok (3 volts or more) and install it.
6) Make sure the main batts are ok (1.5 volts alkaline or 1.2 volts
rechargeables) and install them.
7) Plug in an ac adapter
8) Do a brain wipe (I *think* this means a) Hold down the power on switch
and keep it down b) press the small switch in the battery compartment
and release it c) after some seconds release the power on switch).
