I wouldn't advise this if you are still within warranty as it would most probably void it but alternatively you could leave your PDA to discharge completely.

In this, case, just lay it on a desk and leave it sitting for 24 hours-it will give up when the battery runs low. Then, give it a few extra hours to let it's RAM clear out. After that, the handheld should reboot cleanly.
