    I don't know for sure but it sounds like it got bricked. If you put the battery in do you get the red led?

    I would try plugging it into link and it should say update software or something along those lines. If it's recoverable that will reinstall the software. I hope you have it backed up...

    In either the Crackberry OS forum or the Leak forum you can also find Autoloaders for various OS versions. Those sometimes work/install better than BB Link.

    You should still have a warranty if you canNOT reload the OS.

    Good luck

    If it's within 30 days you may still be able to exchange it with your carrier.

    If you remove the battery and put it back in without plugging into the charge, does the LED come on then?

    Plug it in to a wall socket for a couple of hours. Make sure you are using the BlackBerry charger. You might have a problem with the power cycle. After a couple of hours try turning it on by holding the power button down for 10 seconds or so.

    I'm not sure this the right solution to your issue but it's worth a try if the other ideas already mentioned don't work.
