is my Axim x50v is dead?

I downloaded the demo of PocketHack Master and attempted to try a "speed increase" setting. It was only 744 MGhz I belive? Not trying to do a huge jump. I hit the Test button and it froze.
When I pressed the reset it never came back. Will not turn on or reset. Hard or soft.
I feel I've done everything I could do? I removed the battery. Tried a different one etc. In the cradle the unit charges but nothing else.
I can't even fathom the idea of sending it off somewhere for a repair???
Real depressed over this I gotta say. I love my Axim and use it every single days, but I guess my curiosty killed the cat.

edit...

When I try my extended battery (which was on the unit when this happened) in the cradle, the charge light goes off.
When I take it out of the cradle and leave the regular battery in the charging slot the cradle light stays on.

Checked the lock on the side?

Sorry to hear about this... sounds like if it isn't locked it might be toast

Thanks for the idea. Really, I thought wow, maybe I accidently slid it, but no.
Still it was a great shot.
Also thanks for the sympathy. Most of us here realize how dependent we've become with our pda.
Just ordered the x51v
Hopefully I'm not in for a new set of problems. Of course I realize alot of my favorite apps aren't going to work.
