Herald will not power on

[craigisakson]

I have a Herald I have been using for about a year and a half now. I been having troubles with the phone charging the battery the last week or so. That problem seems to have fixed itself but yesterday the phone turned off for some unknown reason and now it will not turn back on. I have tried just about anything I can think of. It is like it is dead. No keys respond, the battery has good connection and is in good shape, and plugging in the power cord does nothing.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so any fixes? I am guessing the phone is dead, never to come back again. If so that just gives me an excuse to buy a new phone so it wouldn't be all bad.:rolleyes:

Have you tried putting the phone into bootloader. Hold the camera button while pressing the reset button. I bricked my phone once and it appeared to be off and it wouldn't turn on or display anything. It worked when I put it into bootloader. But unless this happened while trying to flash, I don't think that's the problem.

my wing has the same prob...when that happens to me, i plug it to power till i see the orange or green light(no difference)then hit soft reset.....works usually but if not, hit up the bootloader
