WTF??!!? Have you made the usual hard reset, battery out, put it into Bootloader mode, reflashed or anything like it?
Doesn't sound good. I'll find you on IM.;)

that's wierd...Mine would not turn on yesterday. It just had a blank screen with the Green light on around the joystick (like it was fully charged). So I soft reset and nothing, still green light and blank screen. So set it to bootloader mode and ran mtty to check it out, Mtty tests were normal and nothing seemed wrong, tried reset, check for bad blocks, and the normal info and task commands, everything looked normal, but it would not boot up...took out the battery and waited 10 minutes, still green light and blank screen. Charged battery still same issues
SO I tried to hard reset...still same thing,, it asked to confirm hard reset, looked like it did hard reset, but still same problem..
SO I finally, put it in bootloader, reloaded the wm6 HTC__001 rom and it worked fine, Restored from backup and I was back to normal...But I was starting to get a little scared that some how my advantage was bricked...
Haven't had any problems since....Wierd

There are two main methods:
1. Try using the search function.
2. Read the wiki.
Try either of these and you will suceed. Ask without doing either and you will become unpopular!

the device powers itself off if the battery overheats.
take it out and leave it for a bit

same here, after doing Olipro's AthenaUnlocker step 1 and went to Bootloader mode to check spl version. my device is stuck to its bootloader mode & when i soft reset the only thing that will turn on is the led light of the joystick. is there a way to bring it back to normal mode from bootloader mode?
thanks in advace!

Typically this is caused by some software running in the back ground. Try to disable anything from running and then re-enable one thing at a time and see if you can isolate the problem. Sometimes it's two programs conflicting with each other so you may have to do some experimentation here. Hope this helps.

That is weird and scary. Did you try to remove the battery then plug the device into the power source with the battery out also?

Yes, something about flashing a specific version to your device but since this never happened to me i don't have details. Feel free to search the threads....i know it's somewhere at the top. Have fun!

I had my ameo also drawing 1,5A from the battery (actually powerdrain was higher than charge current) Never found out why.
