Default My Jornada 790 no longer powers up

My Jornada will not start. It just has a black screen. It is not an issue of the battery or the cord. Even when plugged in the power light won't go on. It worked one day and *POOF* the next it was gone. Any ideas? :?:

What type of Jornada? If it's a 52x or a 54x model, try to apply pressure near the speaker and hit the power button...

I believe the problem is with the screen driver. They have been faulty in prior similar models. I have had that problem with my HP 620LX(The original first color handheld which I still have), Jornada 680 and 720. They all had that problem and required me to send them to HP for service. Goodluck.
