Default [Q] Broken Epic? (Physically or Bricked?)

Alright, here's the deal, this happened about a month ago (ive been stuck with the hero since lol).
I was running ERA EH06 Leak 1.1 (name of the file, i think it was the unnamed rom at the time) which was running perfectly for a few days until I get the google services etc force closes. Anyway I get home from work, I go to switch to stock and reflash to something else (at the time I was flashing roms like crazy lol). Anyway, as im odin'ing to stock, I accidentally pull the usb from the phone in the middle of it and the phone is stuck on the download screen, so I pull the battery and try again.
Now the phone isnt connecting to my computer, and its not even turning on. It wont show anything when I have it plugged into usb, I cant go into recovery or download mode. I saw on another thread a power cycle reset thing that didnt work.
I took it into the sprint store to have them see whats up and they said the usb was pulled off of the motherboard. I open it up myself (im semi experienced in this, and i found a good tutorial online) and nothing is noticeably wrong and the usb isnt pulled off the motherboard.
Also, the battery indicator is red because of "water damage" ( i have taken it in the bathroom with me as I showered, but that was only a few times and I stopped weeks before this happened, so I dont think water damage could be the main problem).

So basically has anyone else had the same or similar issue? Or at least can point me in some direction?

No dl mode? Try taking the battery and SD card out, and holding power and 1 THEN plugging it in still without the battery or SD. No odin then, well...
