[Q] Partial brick on SGH-i897? I can't find any help I DID SEARCH

[x9x9x9x9x9]

Hey guys I need a little help, well okay A LOT of help with my old captivate I had been running Serendipity VII ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107894&highlight=serendipity ) on it for almost a few months then loaned the phone to a friend when I got my S3 after about 6 months the boot loops started then after it bootlooped one last time and went black, the device wouldn't charge or do anything really. I could get it into download mode and I think recovery, I tried flashing back to stock and now it boots but after the purple/blue S screen it goes black and nothing happens except the capacitive lights turn on. I made a video showing this I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is wrong. I think something very important got deleted. Thanks in advance!

I didn't but I wish if I can get the link to work, it is trying to download "Optimum Installer".

After trying this it started boot looping then I tried wiping data and doing it again and got back to boot looping.

I took a couple of pictures on the recovery screen to show what it is saying. It almost seems like the internal sdcard is shot.

before factory reset/wipe data:

After wipe:

Seems indeed like the sd is dead.

Do you have a external sd that you could use to boot on? I'm not sure if would work but worth giving a try.

I wouldn't know how to go about even setting that up to boot from extSD. I have another "broken" captivate. One of the color correction resistors (i think) came off the board so not the screen is yellow but still manageable. Maybe I can use my reflow station and get something going by making a frankenstein phone.

The internal sd is within your motherboard so if you can swap the MB from one to another, it should work!
