It's possible that if a software had crashed the device in an infinite loop, it could suck the battery dry. The key determination is to see if it keeps on happening after a hard reset...

dragon20, I had a similar scare, and it turned out to be just a loose battery to PPC connection. You know that battery locking switch on your unit? You have to make sure the battery is in all the way, and then that the lock is truly locked.
