Turns out after almost giving up, it was the battery cover that wasn't fully latching for some reason and even if it seemed to be latched, the reason the PDA didn't turn on was because the door probably wasn't closed properly. I tried a different battery cover and it worked! So it was just a bad cheapo battery cover.
But I DID have a 1000mAH battery off eBay and it won't even charge, so it's probably a dud. But ya, if you have a different battery cover for the extended, try it and see if it works, or just order a different type of battery off of eBay that is extended but looks to be a different manufacturer and use their cover instead, that's what I did and I'm happy ;)

Thanks very much, Josh.
Thats very helpful and think you're onto somehting here as I can remember a message saying that the battery cover was removed and the system is going into sleep - which completely slipped my mind. I will try out the battery with the new cover from Dell, when it arrives in a few days time - I'll let you know. :)
An cheering news this morning - which is not whats happening in London at the moment with the Authorities telling us on the news that there is the likelihood of an 'immanent terrorist attack'!
- But thanks Josh,
Best Wishes
