This has come up quite a few times now. It'd be nice to add this in a
bit more detail to a FAQ or wiki page somewhere. I'd add it here, but it
says I can't edit the page:

Last time I remember seeing it come up I wrote:

When this happens for me (which it has a few times now), I leave the
H5450 seperated from the battery for a couple of days, then put the unit
in the cradle with power applied, and then put the battery in. I leave
it for an hour or so, then when I take it out and reset it, it starts
normally (buzzes briefly then boots).
