Have no fear, it is not dead. Try this:

1. Remove the battery.
2. Plug it back into the cradle momentarily, then remove from the cradle.
3. Replace the battery, and plug back into the cradle. It should
restart. If not, try pressing reset.

If the above procedure doesn't work, try leaving the battery out for a
few minutes (10-15 minutes).
