Yesterday I was on my way home with the sat nav on and the phone plugged into the car charger. After filling up with petrol I started the car and the screen on the phone went blank. I tried to reset the phone using the soft reset but this didn't work. I removed the battery and then rebooted the phone and got the start-up vibration and boot up sound but the screen remained blank. The phone will now not charge from either the mains charger or the PC and the phone will not communicate with the PC. I cannot even hard reset the phone as the soft reset button doesn't work.
I'm currently using a TLR ROM and without the communication to the PC I cannot flash the ROM back to stock. With the screen not working, will it be possible to for HTC to check the ROM version on the phone and therefore invalidate my warranty?
I'm also concerned that I cannot delete the files on the internal storage or any emails stored on the phone and these may be accessible if the phone is ever repaired. Is there any other way to do a hard reset and delete the contents of the internal storage?
