I tried plugging it in and holding down and Stop/Reset button for up to
6 seconds or more but it showed no life yesterday. Today, magically
early this morning the machine acted "normally." I plugged it in, it
beeped and "0:00" showed on the display. I haven't used it but assume
that whatever was ailing it has gone away. I had something like this
happen in one of my computer components, maybe a video card. I think
that possibly a capacitor was overcharged and it had to slowly lose its
charge before the component would work again.
