[Duo2400] Re: My 2400c won't power up anymore

[Jughead]

Thanks, Ralph. Yes, my nephew was using it in bed and
maybe on top of a pillow. 

There was actually a green light for a while then it
quit again and nothing at all. No light. No screen.
Nothing. Should I now have it serviced?

By the way, I live in the Philippines so I guess I
can't have it serviced in the places that you
recommended. Thanks, anyway. ;-)
