Think my phone is dead

---

Started last night. Phone would just shut down all by itself. Thought the battery was dead so I tried to charge it. No LED showing charging. Took the battery in and out several times till I finally got it to boot. Battery showed about 70% or so. Used it for a while, then BAM, shut off again. Placed on the charge got an LED this time, red. Wake up this morning and try to boot the phone. LED is green and looking good.

Worked most of the morning, then it was dead when I took it out of my pocket. So I go and get a new battery for it. Does the same damn thing. I am running CM 5.0 or so on it. Tried charging both USB cable way and direct to the wall.

Now I have used recovery screen, right when I go to wipe it dies out.

Will only boot if I take the battery in and out several times and finally will get G1 screen. Sometimes it will reboot itself, other times the screen just fades away.

And Ideas?

BTW, nothing happened to it recently. But it did get wet about 8-9 months ago. I stuck in a ceiling fan to dry it out for 2 days. Has worked perfect since that day until last night.

Update:

I was able to flash Zdonut 2.5, get to the sign in screen, goes black and reboot
New battery fully charged.

I even tried an old back up with same symptoms.

I have got the same symptoms, my screen fades out and the only thing I can do to power it up again is to remove the power plug and the battery.
Nothing brutal has happened to it, it started after I installed CM5-test1 on it but I have no idea if it's related or not.

Now it's living less and less time, I'm able to boot to recovery but usually not to boot into my OS (tried to reflash superD).

I think I need to get it to warranty, but for that I would like to restore my Orange Rom, but I'm afraid to do so as I have the newest radio, the haykuro SPL and a phone that may power off at any moment...
