Off-contract Tbolt Died

[Dirtman16]

So I'm running an off contract TBolt bought right after release. Today, it turned off by itself. Upon a reboot, the icons for Sense wouldn't appear. I restarted one more time and it only made it to the HTC boot screen. Following a battery pull, the phone would not restart at all. No bootloader, boot screen, nothing. The charge light will also not come on when the phone is plugged in (tried multiple charge cords)

I checked the battery with a meter and the voltage seems fine. So, I'm afraid I've got a difficult hardware fix. If it's important, I was running rooted with Sky Raider Zeus, but it had been working fine for several days before this.

Anyone have any advice or experience a similar situation? I'd like to revive it to wait for the S3 or the RAZR HD.

Definitely sounds like a hardware issue. Not sure what you could do with it though other than get a replacement. What ever is wrong with it will most likely require tools, test equipment, and knowledge that only HTC or an approved repair center would have.

When you say the "voltage seems fine", what was it?
It should be greater then 3.5V. Hopefully closer to 4.2V.

Voltage was around 3.9 volts. I actually got the charge indicator to come on with the stock charge cable. It stayed lit for a few hours, then turned off and never went green.

I took the phone to Verizon today and tried a new battery without any success. It's a business line, so I'll have to wait until Monday to do anything else. Sounds like there's not much hope though.

So you can't even get into Hboot?
