try charging it before paying for a tow truck and a shop to take a look, if it doesn't wake up then I would suggest just taking it to the dealer since it will be covered under warranty. Electrical work isn't cheap :P

Just hoping here....
But sometimes it's the little things that cause us the biggest trouble. So just as an in case... have you looked to see if maybe your battery terminal got loose and unplugged somehow? |
