Dead Intrepid?

I've had my intrepid for about 2 weeks and yesterday it just stopped working... i can't get anything to happen, if i plug it in no charging sound or screen, no hard reset... it's like the phone is dead...

Any suggestions?

(got this phone off of ebay in order to circumvent eliminating my SERO plan with a contract renewal)

Wow, that stinks. Sorry to hear that. What happens if you remove the battery from the phone and plug the phone into the charger? Mine shows the "SAMSUNG" screen and blinks that every 10 seconds or so. That might rule out a dead phone vs. a battery problem.

Also if you run these batteries down all the way sometimes they take some time to begin the charging process. Is it possible your charger came unplugged and the phone wore the battery down completely overnight?
