Will it also power on if connected to an appropriate external power supply? (Other than a computer USB port).

Likely it just had a corrupt gupdate.gcd firmware file if your problem started immediately after it was last connected to GarminExpress or WebUpdater. By WU re-loading a fresh GCD to overwrite the bad file it's been able to start and then complete the normal boot process. Did you notice a message about software loading on the etrex's screen during the first successful boot?
