mssgs have popped up and pressing any button would set it 
straight.sure i'd lose a few seqs but no further harm.this time 
however no matter what i tried it just flashed that same mssg. i 
tried a soft reboot(u no--on & off 7x), depressing the middle keys 
firmly, and begging but nada.then one day it just decided 2 work 
again.happy days are her---oh, its doing it again!crap!! if anyone 
has run in2 this prob and/or knows how 2 correct please advise.thanks

Here's some suggestions:

1. Battery may need to be replaced.

2. Open the SD up (use an allen wrench to remove 4 screws at the corners of the top panel) and locate the power supply, which is at the rear left, just to the right of the disk drive.  One at a time, using a small screwdriver and a light touch, remove the wires attatched to the power supply, one end at a time, clean with a brush if necessary, and reattatch.  It is important to do one at a time and not to use too much force.  When done, close up and do the hard restart (7x on/off, turning off as the display starts to light up).  This method worked for me when my SD1 froze up about a year ago, no problems since.  Good luck.
