m515 green light on and dead screen

Hi guys,
Today with no warning the screen got completely dead and the green recharging light is on. When I put it the PDA into its cradle to charge, the charging light goes off! And when I take it out of the cradle the charging light comes back on again. I can hear a very low buzzing in the PDA too.

Sergio, I arrived at work this morning and found the same problem with my M515.
Light on during while in the cradle, light off out of the cradle, soft and hard resets have no impact.
I can't hear any buzzing, but the screen has a very faint rhythmic flicker every 2 seconds or so.
Anyone have any ideas? Matt.

Hi Matt,
My m515 stayed with the green light on for 3 days until the battery died out (and lost all my data). I keep the m515 off and without recharge for 2 more days. Then I recharge it in its craddle and it seems to be ok.
