You may try to access your phone via ADB. If this works, push stock kernel and a flash tool to your phone and flash a working kernel via adb shell.

I did this years ago on a HTC Magic, but dont remember very well.

You did hold volume up while connecting the powered off phone to your computer, did you?

Yes, he did it else kernel installation would not succeed.

The small vibration when starting the phone is normal, after a while the screen should turn on...

NOTHING WORKS! help

the mini has a small notification lights wight lights up wen i turn it on! but now nothing.. just a small vibration, connecting to charger doesnt light up screen, pressing volume up and connecting usb doesnt work, pressing down and connecting usb doesnt work, no led, no display light, even the small vibration is useless, as it vibrates again wen i press power button after a whili... what it seems like to me.. is a total bootloader failure.. is there a hard reset shortcut.. or can the computer used .. wen the phone is not detected at all? PLEASE HELP

This might be due to the broken kernel.
Download Stock ftf file and then flash it using flashtool.
You have to press VOLUME DOWN key while plugging in usb

brought my phone back to life!

Thanks ppl for ur replies, the problem was due to the kernel i guess, in face the boot.img provided by cyanogen still wont work! no idea why.. could this be because of a different baseband, or soemthing?... Anyways the phone never responded to usb connection, never got into fast boot or flash mode, until i RESTARTED my computer. after i restarted my pc , i was able to flash another kernel ... now im using a AOSP mini ics rom. which is kewl, thankx fellas

Older versions of CyanogenMod kernels were indeed not working due to some bug.
The latest, FXP119, has kernel fixed and works great.
