Sorry if this has been asked before, but last week my vbbe suddenly does not want to turn back on. I've been using it everyday since release. Sometimes I accidentally let the battery die and usually letting it charge for a bit will turn it back on. However, I've left it charging for a while and it hasn't turned back on. I'm not sure what the issue is or what I can try. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry to ask the dumb question, but did you try to hold the bottom button to turn it on?
Because from your sum up, it seems like you expect it to turn on on its own.

Yes I did lol
I even tried holding both buttons and it doesn't turn back on.

You think the battery is shot?

Yeah, Matthias may be right, especially if you let the battery dry out completely frequently.
Another possibility that comes to mind is the bottom button may be broken and not registering contact anymore. I heard the buttons tend to break easily on VBs.

90% is the battery issue

Unfortunate. I suppose there's not a way to repair it?

If the battery is dead, the only thing you can do is replacing it with a new one, which requires opening the device and soldering skills, afaik.
(actually I remember something about reviving a dead battery with cold cycles or the like, but maybe it was only for a battery that stayed dead for a long time, not one that doesn't hold charge... I don't know, it'd need further research)
