Why is my OP-1 not turning on?

I have been storing my OP-1 and using it since 2013. The other week it stopped turning on; currently, when I flip the power switch, I hear the power get to the speaker but the screen does not glow at all. Is this a screen issue, ui issue, or is it something else? It has turned on previously but it only works after I perform a firmware update or sparingly at any other time.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hello @amccaw1590 , Have you found a fix?

Mine stopped working yesterday night. I thought it was because the battery was empty but when I connected it to my laptop nothing happened.

I hear the power get to the speaker but same, the screen remains black.

I didn't upgrade the firmware. Just use it and then it stopped working :(

I tried to reset the factory settings but didn't work.

Any idea how to fix it?
