If it won't respond to the power button, how do you power it on? For me at least, the battery switch can shut it off, but I still need the power button to turn it on once the battery is "on" again.
You said "after taking it off the charger" but also mentioned you don't have the power cable with you. By "taking it off the charger" can I then assume you mean "unplugging USB, since I was charging from USB?" I'm having a little difficulty piecing together exactly what has happened.
Perhaps you could detail the last few things you did with the player before this happened, what exactly you did, and what screen you're seeing where it doesn't respond to button presses.

The power cable that plugs to the cradle plugs to the power jack on the top edge of the unit - opposite the headphone jack. (are we referencing the same model - F10)
Correct re: powering on when battery switch is toggled...in the past, switching off to on would _not_ power the unit on...holding power button was required. Now it will power on as soon as battery switch is set to on.
I notice that the edge buttons are always on full - rather than coming on for a few seconds after a button press and then dimming (or is it going out altogether). It's as if the system is detecting user input constantly. But no screen movement, no harddrive accessing. The Hold button _will toggle the icon on the screen.
All the buttons have the same 'feel' as they've always had...a definite 'click' on the press and on the release.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened from the point it worked to now...I used it extensively last week, put it on the charger (from battery level low...not dead), and next time i tried to power off noticed that the power button was only functioning as a 'select' no matter how long i held it.
It would drill down the menus but none of the other buttons allowed me to change anything. I figured it just needed to reboot so I slid the battery off. Now it's not even doing that. In other words, the 'A' button was functioning (correctly) as a select button but not as a power off button for a little while after this problem started. From the point the problem started, _none of the other buttons (edge or cross) did _anything. Now, even 'A' does nothing.

Just noticed that if I slide 'hold' on, the screen & edge button backlights will turn off after 5 seconds or so. Toggle hold back off and everything lights back up and stays up.
Llorean:
In Rockbox 'A' neither functions as "Select" nor as "Power Off" so I'm confused once more.
