Just got the 1gig model and had the same problem with the power - It turned off, but would keep repeating the 'packard bell' load screen on turning it on.
I solved the problem by connecting it back to the pc and deleting the settings.dat file in the root directory - voila, back to normal!
If you can see the .dat file, you need to enable 'see all system/hidden files' in the directory properties box
