Won't turn on!

I have a P-605 and it won't turn on. The battery apparently went dead in my backpack. I charged it overnight, but the next morning it wouldn't turn on. Sometimes it shoes me a gray battery with a little looping arrow in it, like it's thinking about the battery, and it's flickering. Some other times it will show me the splash page like it's going to start, then it flickers, and then it goes back to the gray battery.

I've tried every trick I've read about so far. Holding the power button for > 30 sec, with and without the volume button, with and without having a finger on the screen, with and without being plugged in with the original cord...to the wall and to my computer. Nothing has helped. Now I don't even get the gray battery...it's 100% dead.

I contacted Samsung, but they are worthless on how to fix it, so I'm supposed to send it in. But Samsung doesn't support their products globally, only locally. Being an American with a Hong Kong version living in Tokyo means that no division of Samsung wants to touch it or help me, and I'd have to pay $200 bucks to get it fixed through the Amazon store I bought it from.

So if anybody has other ideas about fixing it, then I'm all ears. I haven't rooted it or opened it up, because I was worried about breaking it. But at this point it's already broke, so I'm very interested in putting a clean ROM on here (whether or not that might be part of a solution). The main thing for now is getting it to power up again.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and help.
