I just got to my hotel for the night and my 8525 isn't working. I've tried taking the battery out but that's about my only option.

The blue and green lights are blinking relatively rapidly (blink blink blink) <-- read that at a relatively rapid pace :)

The touch screen isn't responding to any input. The buttons may pull up something for a bit but it disappears and it is always showing locked. Can't unlock it without the touch screen.

It sounds like hardware to me. I am out of troubleshooting ideas, not that I had many to begin with. I have found similar threads but none really address the lights blinking all crazy and the touch screen not responding.

This phone has been a nightmare for me. Turns itself on randomly, which as a pilot is just great. 36000 feet and my phones turning on and my radios getting crappy. Turns off randomly, mid call. So if it's hardware, I'm trashing the thing. Can't put more money into it but I will miss the tethering.
