Droid X2 overheating, now won't turn on

---

So during work one night my phone felt hot in my pocket, so I took it out and noticed it acted as though it was off. I took the battery out, waited a minute or two and popped it back in and turned the phone on. It again got pretty hot so I turned it off, but it still stayed hot. I took the battery out, then I waited a few more minutes and put the battery back in but I did not turn the phone on. Again, it was getting hot. So for the rest of the night I just left the battery out.

I had to work the morning the next day so I still left the battery out. But I did pop it in during work to see if I had any calls/texts. Took it back out after though, and left it out until I got back home. I had the phone turned on at home, but just before I left for the verizon store, the battery died. Plugging in the charger didn't work and I couldn't get the phone to turn on at all.

They sent me a new phone in the mail, so I planned on charging the battery in the new X2 they sent me and then putting the battery in my old one to get my stuff off the phone. But now, even with a full battery, I can't get my old phone to turn on, but it's still getting hot when I put the battery in.

All I really care about is getting some files off the internal storage. Is there ANYTHING I can do before I send it back? Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately I had that exact same problem. They sent me a replacement and I had to return the faulty one. I could not get it to boot at all whatsoever. I was told to leave the battery in the faulty X2 and plug it into a/c power using the official eco moto charger (usb w/ wall block) and leave it until the battery charging icon appears, which never did. I was pretty much hit. Asurion (Verizon's insurance who replaced my phone) also told me that since my handset was getting extremely hot, there was several "legal issues" involved and the customer service Rep could no longer help me. I had to wait until the next day for a Manager/Supervisor to give me a call to go about replacing it.

Wish I had more technical help for you, but I was in the same boat and sadly I lost everything that wasn't on the removable SD card...

Edit: those were before my xda days, maybe someone here can actually help you get your files.....
