Just seen your other post, and it would appear that you are getting error messages. As a first resort you could try pulling out the plug and reconnecting the power. Second try a factory reset see this thread http://www.satellites.co.uk/scripts/webforum/DCForumID24/451.html.
Lastly if none of the above work, then there is a small hole next to the card slot into which you insert a small scredriver or plastic needle to force a reset.
