neo1973 does not power on.

[tck6346 at njit.edu]

Michael + Andy,
  I haven't had it plugged in since I had the problem a couple days ago. so I am
pretty certain the back up battery is empty. I tried just powering it up now
that I've waited and nothing. 

I also tried the boot to NOR uboot procedure and nothing happened. 

It looks like the battery is a little low now so I'm going to see if it will
work after I let it charge up. 

Just to be clear this is a GTA01Bv4.
