Try shorting the battery terminals for a few seconds with the batteries out. Reinsert batteries and turn on.
If that fails, try shorting the battery terminals again with the batteries out, insert batteries, then short the terminals again with the batteries in (you'll need a piece of wire for that), then turn on.
If that fails, it may be dead...
in which case, you might try torqueing the case length-wise slightly, to see if you can get the keyboard contacts to hook up (if that is the problem...). Do this only as a last resort.
