Need help with bricked 8330M Curve

I left my dated but beloved 8330 Curve at work last night by mistake, connected to my laptop for charging. I figured no problem, I can get it today. But when I got to work, it was dead.

It was off, wouldn't turn on, no response at all to a battery pull (multiple tries, including leaving the battery out for an hour or so). I brought it home and put it on a wall charger--nothing. Tried another battery, same deal.

Is there anything else I can try, or is it time for a decent burial? (It figures that I just purchased a new tablet, justifying it on the basis of not replacing my trusty 8330....)

multiple battery pulls will do you no good if the battery is dead. Try plugging in the BB with out the battery.

Yeah, tried that, and also tried a known good replacement battery. Looks like the phone is toast.
It's a moot point, but I really do wonder what in the world happened to it. Doesn't seem like being plugged in to a laptop USP port for 24 hours ought to have that effect. Just a coincidence?
