Screen won't turn on but the rest of the phone does?

I have a Mogul that I've been running a custom rom on for a while now. I got off an airplane today and turned on the phone, and it vibrated like it always does. The green LED stays constantly lit, and the screen shows nothing. When I do a soft reset, it vibrates and does the same thing. Tried a hard reset, and it vibrates but still the screen shows nothing.

Taking out the battery and putting it back in doesn't change anything. If I don't turn the phone on, and plug it into the wall, I get a constant red LED.

Am I SOL?

If you get a constant red led it sounds like you have a good paperweight or a warranty or insurance exchange coming.

As it turns out, the constant red light is only when I plug it into a computer, or when its plugged in without the battery in. This is very strange, I don't see how it could be bricked due to the ROM seeing as it's been working with it since February, but who knows...no warranty, so I guess I'm buying a new phone and holding off on the Pre until next year. Ugh.
