I just received a GMC-600+ It turns on ok and the date was set correctly. I charged it up but the S4 on/off button does not produce a menu. The counter does seem to be working but without a menu I can't change anything. The hand strap was not connected. Not sure how to connect it.

Not a good sign. Suggestion: take out the battery, go fetch a coffee, reinsert battery. While the battery is out, measure its voltage.

Tried that. Battery is 4.12v, higher than I expected but I think that's right. It didn't reboot or anything. acts exactly the same. I think I have to return it. I hate that.

Battery seems ok. You could try to connect to the counter from a computer. But if that worked, you'd conclude the display is disconnected, and you'd have to return it anyway :-/

You mentioned it "turns on OK" but S4 will not bring up the menu?
Take a look at the video and let us know if your unit performs the same. If I understand you correctly you just are not getting access to the menu by depressing S4 as in the video?
You should also be hearing as in the video a definitive "Click" When you depress S4.
As far as the hand strap it looks to me like it is installed during manufacture requiring disassembly which I would not recommend you do since your unit is under warranty. I would recommend sending it in and requesting a NEW replacement.
