Exclamation Help my bold is dead!

yesterday the bold starting acting wonky. It would bring up the hourglass icon every 3 seconds and drain the battery.

I uninstalled Viigo and Geocahce Navigator and recharged it.

The issue seemed to be fixed. It had a full charge when I went to bed so I holstered it and this morning when I got up it wouldn't turn on.

I plugged it in and the red LED light came on, but the device wouldn't turn on.

I unplugged it after an hour of charging and still nothing.

I removed the battery and placed it back, and still nothing.

Now the LED doesn't even come on when charging.

Is it frigged?

I had the same problem the other day on mines where It would bring up the hourglass icon every 3 seconds and drain the battery. I updated my OS to v.150 and everything was back to normal. I was on v.147 prior.

Ok so I brought the stupid thing back to the Rogers store and they gave me a new one.

Sucks though I didn't realize now they have my old one with all my **** on it - I hope they format those right away!

Also - I lost all my applications, that blows I thought by backing it up it would restore everything the way it was.
