My MDA Compact III - DEAD to the WORLD :(

[sanath121]

Hi All,

I have been reading through as always trying to give the kiss of life to the recently (1month) upgraded MDA Compact III. I have upgraded it from WM5 to Touch Flu WM6. It has been working great till last night it just died on me and now I can’t even turn it on... It comes on if i leave the battery out for a 10mins and then put it back in, but it will only go far as the boot screen and as soon as it comes to the password prompt it dies :(

SO I can’t get in to the bootloader...

Any help will be much appreciated :)

Thanks all

Kind regards,
DS

Just to clarify, if you do the sequence to put it in bootloader mode, it still wont come on? What if you have it connected to the computer, still no power?

Well not to be the messenger of doom but it may eventually die for good, i dunno what causes this but the same thing happened to my xda orbit recently. I had it for about 7 months the 3 weeks ago i had that problem to fix it i would leave a battery out for about an hour, also it seems the more programs u have it seems the more crashes it has, not saying hard reseting fixes it just when i installed the touch 3.01 rom and installed as few programs as possible it didn't crash for a week but, last Thursdays picked it up turned it on started listening to music then it just crashed and wouldn't even turn on at all when i plug in the charger the light didn't turn on or anything taking it to the o2 shop tomorrow.

This is correct... I leave the battery out and then after about 20mins i ut it back in then it will come on for a bit, but then it will go dark screena nd nothing will happen... very strange...

I would think if u were to claim u may still be able to claim from the warranty if flashing it doesn't void it i sure hope not but i also insured mine so if the warranty is void i still have a life line.

i also have the same problem... i have upgraded to wm 6, first day was OK. i put my arte in my back pocket... when i took it out, it was shut down.... first i thought that it was because i sat on it... but it didnt open after that... when i plug charger it doesnt charge... however i managed to charge the battery fully... if i take the battery for a period of time.. it seems to work but crashes again, slowly going in black screen with a green vertical line in the center... :(

what should i do? please help me... unfortunately there's no htc shop here in turkey... :(

I just called T-Mobile and have to send it off to the repair centre. Apparently i have a 24moth warrantee on this phone... Let’s hope they replace the phone :)

I am affraid that you lose the warranty because u flashed (updated) your orginal ROM.

Mayby damaged is only storage of ROM - memory chip

i didn't lose my warranty on mine maybe because they couldn't turn the phone on to check it out properly, i just got it back yesterday with the official o2 rom and no questions asked. b4 u take it back if u can flash the official T-Mobile rom then their shouldn't be any problem i would think.
