If that doesn't work, return it.Try a battery pull.
If that doesn't work, try a Hard Reset.
Hard Reset
1. Power off phone
2. Use hardware keyboard
3. Press and hold the 'X' key and Power button until you see a screen with an exclamation point inside a triangle
4. Press and hold the Volume Up key then press the Camera button (I had to do this twice) to get menu screen (Linux back-end becomes VERY apparent here)
5. Using the D-pad, select one of the Wipe options (specifically Wipe Data/Factory Reset)
6. Confirm your selection and wait for it to complete
7. Reboot the device

See, my plan is foolproof.After 5 days of not turning on, not turning off, buzzing on vibrate for 2 min for no reason - I brought it back - no problems - no questions - just a new phone that works great!
+1I had the same issue this morning. Took the battery out and it rebooted fine but this shouldn't happen. Anybody else has had this issue yet?
I was able to bring it back to life by removing the battery, then putting it back, then putting it in the wall charger.
