This can be a bad battery since you charge it overnight , because overcharging a unit like this may cause damage to the battery itself, so if you try to change the battery that will be better...
Hope that helps...........
Unplug the unit from the cahrger, to remove the battery then put it back in, and then try to turn it on. this is just a work around.
SOURCE: Dell Axim X50 PDA won't turn on
try a hard reset
Dell Axim x50 / x50v / x51 / x51v:
Make sure the device is on before performing hard reset. To hard reset, press and hold the power button and press in on the reset button (reset hole) on the back of the unit for about 2-3 seconds. Release both buttons and you will see a confirmation screen asking you if you would like to clear all data in memory. To do so press the Contacts button. To cancel press the Mail button.
IT may be that the mainboard is faulty and would need to be replaced.
