Default totally dead 8520
Okay so my 8520 has died... wont turn on, will not charge, nothing. Also nothing from it when i plug it into my pc. i've tried leaving it without the battery in overnight, ive left it plugged into the pc for hours and still nothing. The only thing i've noticed is that when I put the battery in a buzzing noise comes from it. I've taken it apart and everything looks fine, and it hasnt been dropped in water... so i'm baffled .

Any help would be appreciated

Try a different battery and let it charge over night.

But surely my pc should recognise it without the battery in anyway, but nothing happens at all

Not necessarily.

Try a different battery.

Has the device been exposed to any moisture? Even a little bit?

Has it been dropped?

No the water indicator is still white and I may have dropped it a couple of times but not recently so it cant be related to that.

Does anybody know why it is making a buzzing sound when I put the battery in, and also when I plug the charger in aswell?
