@THREADZ Try plugging in the terminal to the power cord, sometimes that can kickstart it, the other thing would be to hold the power button for 10 seconds, a count down timer will show up and you want to continue to hold the power button, until the timer gets to 0 and the terminal instructs you to release the power button. If that doesn't bring up the screen then the only thing I can think of would be to disconnect the battery from the terminal and see If plugging it back in later would work to bring it back to life.

I hope something woks!!
