Hitec Aurora 9 - can't turn on radio

I have a brand new Aurora 9 (and charged it the recommended time and it shows 100 percent charged) and just got in my HPP-22 programmer. Used the programmer to update the transmitter 1st then the 2.4 module and then the receivers (3 Optima 7's and 1 Optima 9). When I was finished with the programming I started binding the transmitter and the receivers. After successfully binding the first 2 receivers my problem showed up, while I was binding the 3rd one I was unable to turn on the power to the transmitter. When I switch on the power nothing shows up on the screen, I noticed that there is a solid red light on the module. I have had it on the charger now for several hours and I have periodically checked and still nothing. Is there a reset for this or do I need to send it in to Hitec?

A very rare problem, typically caused by turning TX Off/On to quickly.
Please remove battery for a moment, cycle switch on/off and re-insert battery before trying again. Please refer Hitec support page -
Aurora A9 - Off/On Switch problem? TX Auto Saves (flash) Each Session's Programming and Trim Settings etc on Shutdown. Allow time to complete task before switching on again.
