Original Nomad Jukebox won't turn on

Hi all,

I've been using my old warhorse of a Nomad Jukebox (the original
blue/silver one, shaped like a CD player) for a good while now. It
served me well up until now. Two days ago it wouldn't turn on via
hitting the "play" button, but unplugging and plugging it into wall
power did trigger its power-on sequence. Today, however, that trick
doesn't seem to work, and the jukebox won't turn on for any reason.

When I say it won't turn on, I mean I see no signs of life from it. The
HD doesn't spin up, the LCD doesn't turn on; for all intents and
purposes, it seems dead.

The batteries haven't worked for awhile (though I kept them in until
this all started happening a few days ago) and I've been running it off
wall power for as long as I can remember, so those aren't the
problem(and, yes, I tried putting them back in to double check.) I
tried the reset button on the bottom and had no luck, either.

If it's dead for good, I can't complain about it dieing before its
time, but it just seems weird that it'd suddenly go tits up for no
reason. So far as I can tell, I didn't change anything; One days its
working, the next day its not.

Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.
