Les, thanks. It has now been 3 hours. I have not gotten a single answer how to kick start an apparently dead phone. I have been Googling and can't find anything yet.
It is amazing, since so many seem to have an answer for everything, or several, many answers for the same thing. I guess the expertise is saying something, not answering questions. :) I appreciate the support.
