i tried to unroot my phone and i skipped a step on accident (flash the RUU or whatever lol...) and now my phone will not do anything
power button wont power the device, i took the battery out, i tried charging it but no light will come on so its probably not charging either.
i read somewhere that if i took apart the device and heat up the chips with a heat gun for a couple minutes and let it cool off for about an hour it will fix it but i tried it and still nothing.

is the phone done for? or what should i do next?

any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you all

You tried SON and got a brick?
Then there is a unbricking project.. By Dexter.. In sensation development section.... That might help

I looked at that topic and it said something about lynix box? I don't have lynix or is that something else?

Yeah try linux (andoid is somewhat based off it), Just some basic info... linux is an operating system like mac os x and windows. the most popular/common one is ubuntu. you can look online (youtube and google) to help you set it up, it's a lot easier than you think. this can get you started... http://www.ubuntu.com/
