My Storm is not powering up all of a sudden. It was working fine this afternoon and when I took it out of my pocket the BACK button triggered the camera. Very strange. I pulled the battery and now it either blinks the red light very slowly or goes to a black screen with the "wait" clock icon.
Im no expert on the issue by any means but it sounds a lot like you are going to have to reload your OS. That may not work but it's definitely worth a try.
