My brother brought me his Evo LTE and said its not working. He's dropped it a couple times and I think his last drop messed it up. When I plug it into the charger the red LED starts blinking (battery is dead) ?. And when I try and boot into the bootloader the capacitive buttons start flickering but the display shows no change( LCD died maybe?) And the red LED continues blinking. Phone is stock never been rooted not sure on the firmware. Fast boot won't pick up device either (excepted since I can't get into boot loader)

Anyone have any ideas? Any help is appreciated

Wait for the light to stop flashing and then try to power it on.

When it stops flashing and I try to power it on it has no response and sometimes the capacitive buttons with light up and that's it then its off again. LCD is fine because I was able to get into the bootloader for a little but didn't have enough time because I couldn't find the correct firmware for this phone(I have a s3). Now I can't get into the bootloader

Not sure there is a minimum batt percentage, I know of some old OG Evo Roms that required a certain percentage. I'd charge her up and try your ruu.
