Death HTC 8525

[Ryuerik]

My 8525 does not turn on anymore, changed battery several times, let it under charge 2 days, no sign of life in there....should I trow it away or is there hope? Help please I am LOST without it!!!:(

Try chargin the phone without the battery for about 20 minutes and then insert the battery to see if it'll sprint to life. If not, try a differen outlet or charger. If all fails, don't throw it away, it's not that useless.

Thanks I trying that now,but I do not see any led turning on...keeping fingers crossed!

Were there any other symptoms before hand? Had you had it hooked up to your comp recently before that? Hard reset? Check how snug it meets the gold contacts. Ive seen situations where they get spaced just enough where it wont make contact. Check battery and contacts for buildup (happens over time. had this SAME heartattack awhile back with mine :-P) Lemme know if you need more help.

Hello Black Joker
what do you mean by "buildup"?
1Hard resetted a couple of days before (I am a ROMburner junky;)
2Turned itself out a couple of times before...
3When I do not use it I always keep it in the craddel hooked up with pc...

All I know is that I replaced the micro SD, put it down and when I pick it up 2minutes later it was death...:(
Now is under charge without battery...will report later...sig...:(

By buildup I am referring to this black looking stuff on the gold contacts. It happens over time. Another thing you might try is a different battery. Ive seen em on eBay for a few bucks or try a buddies battery if you know someone w a similar phone. If thats not an option some local cellphone store may have one u can try to see if she comes on. If all else fails, PM me. I would be more than happy to see what else I could do.

I did try everything but no way to wake "her" up...I have sento you a PM black-joker...

Its possible there may have been a surge that fried the internal fuse. That would account for it working then suddenly not with no LED response.
Check out Mike Channon's post for a link to his website, you'll find more info there...

Good luck...
