Dead FR: does not boot

[Eildert Groeneveld]

Dear List
the booting issue with a flat battery has been with us for some time, but 
allegedly also been solved.

My FR seems to have a drained battery but no combination of aux/power and 
power/aux with usb/laptop and wallsocket could persuade it to enter life:
it simply stays dead.

Has this happended to anyone else? Perhaps the FR itself is broken?

any suggestions?

ps I have hackable1 (upto date last week) on it.
