[Q] Is my Sensation dead?

[dochuerbat]

Hi guys!
I'm Running Leedroid 2.3.0 on my sensation since 2.3.0 was released.
I'm CWM v4.0.1.4 (charging fixed! blue text) on it.
The Phone ran perfect until yesterday. I didn't overclock and didn't do any other special tweaks, i used it as it was.
Yesterday i used google maps navigation for about 5 - 10 minutes. after that the phone was really hot. I stopped navigation and killed google maps with the stock task manager.
I put the phone into my pocket, about 20min later i noticed the phone turned off. it was still a little bit warm.

Now the phone doesn't turn on anymore. when i plug in the charger, nothing happens. not even the orange led turns on. absolutely nothing.
i've tried all combinations off pulling the battery, left it out for som time and plug it in again. try to charge....

No chance - the phone seems to be dead.

I've got no idea if it is a hardware or a software problem. how can i find out?
What can i do?

I think my warranty is void by rooting and flashing the custom rom.

You should check first if the Battery or the phone is the problem. Try getting another battery that u can try out. If it is not working, then probably your phone is dead. However, I would replace it with warranty. Since it's dead they can not turn it on and check if u modded it. Maybe they can detected that if they would take out the mainboard and connect it to some JTAG device, but I'm 99.9% sure they will not do this. Imagine the costs of doing this with every phone they get for replacement... It's not easy to detect if the Software on the phone was manipulated once the phone is dead due to a hardware defect.

What you can also try ist connect it to usb port on PC and try turning on. Does the PC detect anything?

PC doesn't detect anything.
I tried another battery today, same problem.

Do you think it is a hardware problem?

It may have gotten so hot it damaged some of the hardware. Like he said up there ^ take it to Tmobile and ask them to replace it. These things are notorious for overheating anyways so your story will be believable.

i think it is best for you to bring back to the tmobile store to get it check or get a new replacement. dont answer too much questions if they ask because they might try to look for away to void your warranty or refuse for service.

I'll bring it to t-mobile tomorrow.

 

[dochuerbat]

I got a new one.
T-Mobile replaced it.
