does sound like the battery, only other thing springs to mind is the small wires that goes to the positive (+) battery terminal,if that has broken off you wont get no ignition so check its in good condition.

i hope its just the battery as i can take it back under warranty. its only 2 days old...never crossed my mind bout a broken wire as all i did was turn it off then tried to restart it, i never touched a thing that would cause a wire to break..cheers for the replies lads
