help-problem with oregon 450t

I loaded some field notes and deleted the visits folder from the unit. Now when i power up all i get is

"Do you really want to erase all user data? And it has the yes and no boxes at the bottom but neither one respond.

It will power on and off but thats it. Any thoughts?

Did you backup the unit's internal drive? If so force it into Mass Storage Mode and copy the backup onto the unit.

That's what you'd expect if (as I recall) you touch the upper left corner of the unit when powering it up. There may be some gunk at the upper left of the touch screen bezel. Try working around that corner with a business card. Also, do you have a screen protector installed? If so, gently lift that corner and lay it down again.
