Solid Red light = no power

[laddhorn]

The other night, I put my phone on to charge (OEM charger). When I woke up, the charge light was solid even after I unplugged it from the charger. The phone was off (on when put on to charge) and will not turn on now. I have removed the battery for a while and reinstalled. I have removed the sim also and tried that way. I have read in -other- forums that this either means: 1. Phone is toast. Trash it. 2. Battery cover is damaged.

I bought it on ebay and it worked GREAT for 4 months. I flashed it with 6.1 standard just after I got it. I don't belive that the ROM is bad. As for the cover...Mine fits tight. When I flip it over, I see -1- metal piece on it. As I understand from discriptions, it is supposed to have -2-. I cannot find a picture online verifying this. I don't want to pay $15-$20 for a battery cover when I really need to buy a new phone.

So...anyone know how I can fix it? Any (reasonable) suggestions?

Thanks!

I went to a few cell repair shops. Unfortunately, they told me that the motherboard has a short in it and it will need a new one. They also told me that it isn't worth replacing the motherboard ($150 was the quote I got). It would be best if I bought a new one.

Anyone know where I can get a NEW one? Ebay only has used.

Thanks!

buy one used on ebay, got a motherboard from it, and replace yours
