    Just did a battery pull due to browser freeze, and this thing wont boot, no error screen, no white screen, just a whole lot of nothing ... just black screen and flashing red led, flashing 4 times then pauses and then 4 times again.


    Anybody have any ideas?....

    Thank you

    Did you try to plug it back in afterwords? hard to say but it sounds like it shorted out.

    If by "plug it back in" you mean to a charger or a pc, i dont have those cables here at work... i would have to wait till i get home.

    I still see the LED though

    did you try pressing the power button? sorry for the stupid question, but I didn't see any indication that you tried this.

    I woke up to a dead phone today also. Had almost a full battery charge when I hit the sack last night. Can't take the phone into work with me, so I didn't worry about it until I got home. Plugged it into the wall charger, and it was completely dead! Took it off a couple hours later and it's fine. Life goes on...

    I've had that recently after resets or battery pulls. The LED is just red and not flashing. I let it set for a moment pressed a few keys and it restarted. Once i pulled the battery again. Scary.

    What's scary is that i didnt have any problems until today... could the fact that i unlocked the phone have anything to do with this?
