1.Absolutely nothing happens ... I wait 10 seconds .... can only get 2GB 
sd card now in HK ...
2. No power up
3. If i keep pressing the power button many times i will get the screen 
to light up and the power button to stay on (even when the ac supply is 
not plugged in) -- then its bright with all sorts of patterns
