I have been following this thread for awhile and no one has replied with an answer. I tried replacing the fuse in the where the charging cable plugs in but that didn't work. I tried to replacing the battery in the back with one from amazon, but that didn't work either. :( There is a rebate program that you may qualify for, but I'd be shipping mine from Minnesota to California which would cost around $120 (not worth it).
