[Android Central Question]

My phone was working fine i am using internet and my power charger is on, but suddenly it was power off and refused to start up. When i check it was heated up and battery become inflated. I have tried a new fully charged battery, as it is refusing to charge by usb from original charger plug or computer. I have tried holding the power and volume up/ down but no success. The computer also does not recognise it.

This device may have been damaged by over-heating and needs to be physically examined by a repair shop. Using a charger on a phone at the same time as using CPU intensive apps can cause this issue

Hi, welcome to AC!
Also being the Device is very old might want shop around for newer phone instead of trying repair this one .

Welcome to Android Central! Another possibility is that the battery finally failed, and the replacement one you got also failed since it's probably as old as the phone. I agree with mustang7757, it's time for a more modern phone.
