    Default Bold wont turn on!!!!

    I've had my Bold for about 2 months now and everything was working fine. Last night I charged it and it had a full battery this morning. All of a sudden I noticed my phone was off so I tried starting it and nothing!!! I pulled the battery out and back in, the red light came on for about 7 seconds then nothing!!!! It's dead!?!?!?!? I can't figure out what to do. I have insurance but ATT will charge me $125 to get a new one. So what do I do?

    Sounds like the battery is completely drained.

    Just relax. Your phone probably didn't charge right overnight so the battery is completely drained. Give it about a half hour and try to turn it on as it's charging.

    The other day I plugged my charger in and it wasn't charging. I had to try it a couple of more times before I finally got the charge signal. Just happens sometimes.

    so the charger was in for about 10 minutes and now it turned on. But my battery was full this morning. I haven't used it much and it died! Is my battery defective?

    I would start with AT&T, but you need to get a new charger with the new battery.
