T-Mobile Dash wont turn on!!!!!

[doctahjeph]

My dash froze up on me the other day. So I pulled the battery and inserted it right back into the device. Now it wont turn on. I get nothing. Wont even do a hard reset. I pulled the battery and waited 24 hours. Still wont turn on. Any ideas? I checked the battery in a friends dash so I know it isn't the battery.

My battery was low and the Dash turned off..

I turned it on and it booted up and then booted down again.

Went to put on charger and it wouldnt charge.. then it wouldnt boot ever again.

Got a new battery from the T-mobile store from a display model so it was charged..

But it wouldnt boot at all.. The Cell Phone repair company in my area ( www.cellphonerepairvirginia.com ) has tried everything and got nothing.. They even reflowed the board, and checked for broken connectors and more..

NOTHING.. it just wont turn on.

Anyone ?

Any idea where to even look?

Is there a way to hard reset the thing?

CD, is your phone still under the warranty? Please explain the scenario before your phone started acting awkward. Did you do any system tweaks? IF so which ones did you do and when did you begin to notice any strange behavior?

Have you try connecting the Dash to a computer and see if you get any signal from it?

If the flashing procedure is interrupted then there could be a high chance that the ROM is corrupted and there's no way for the phone to boot up or reflash by itself (the installer warns you about it before flashing the ROM). Only the manufacture can reflash the ROM with a special device/cable.

The only thing you can do is send it in for warranty or sell it on ebay for parts.
