Hey guys, mine actually did this but I discovered something over the weekend. it apparently was snagging a huge update, when it came back around. I had been having some funky speech issues with speech crashing, unexpectedly, it would give me that prompt and go weird. I finally got that straight and when I charged it and turned it back on, it sat there and sat there, and if it hadn't been for my wife telling me that it was updating something I would never have knwon. So, let it sit for a few if you haven't and see if i doesn't come back to life. If that doesn't work, try holding that slide switch for a few, let it turn off and reset and it should come back around. Let me know if that helps. And I'm going to try and be in tonight, at least for a bit, but not sure, as we're having weather here today and tonight and it may kick me out. Take care andt alk to you soon.
