When I got to work yesterday and pulled out my Fuze, it was displaying a low-battery warning. I have a spare battery, so I switched in the new one, but after doing so, I wasn't able to get the back cover back on. As I have had difficulty with this in the past, I didn't worry too much about it, but just gave up for the time being and decided to wait for break time to put it back together.
Later, in trying to replace the back, I realized that I had put the battery in upside down! I turned it over and was now able to replace the back. However, now the phone would not turn on at all, even with the original battery (which, although it displayed a warning, had still been on earlier).
Now, when I try to charge either battery, nothing apparently happens. Only once was I able to get the charging light to flash a few times, but then it stopped. After hours of being connected to the charger, the phone still won't turn on.
Did I destroy my phone by putting the battery in backwards? If not, what's going on here? It doesn't seem that I "just" ruined the battery, since the other one doesn't work, either.
I don't know which is worse, the feelings of depression at losing my expensive device, or the feelings of stupidity at having done such a thing.
I will be waiting in great anticipation for your suggestions....
