Fortunately, most of my actual data is on the MMC, and it's still functioning enough that I should be able to VNC into it; but it sounds like I won't have much luck at actually fixing anything, short of sending it off to Nokia and waiting a few months.
Plugging in the charger when the device is switched off will boot the device - not all the way to the desktop but enough to bring up the power management functionality. Unfortunately "vertical stripes" do suggest a full blown WSOD in your case - unless you can find a CimpUSA that will do anything, repair is probably your only option as there is nothing you can do yourself to fix a WSOD.

I'll try to let it keep trying to recharge and see if it takes.

You should be able to recover from this situation, leave it to charge for several hours (using the Nokia supplied wall charger) then power it on... at worst you may need to reflash, or perhaps enable R&D flags as outlined elsewhere but it should be recoverable.

As Mara suggested, it sounds like your device ran itself completely flat so if you had a car charger connected it's either got a faulty connector or it isn't supplying enough juice.

I left it plugged in for 12 hours. No joy. Fry's is transferring one to their local store for me. I wish I knew it was just the battery.
