I flashed NRG Oct. 25th rom and had no problems until today. Do you think it is a probelm with the rom? Also, if a new battery/cable doesn't get it going, would it be worth sending it for warranty (as I have a couple of weeks left on the 1 year), or would they say no you flashed it. Any input would be helpful, thanks.

Did you flash to stock before flashing the NRG ROM? You still should be able to get to bootloader mode, even if you have corrupt flash that just manifested itself.
Otherwise, I would try a new battery and cable. I would venture a bet that it could be the battery.
If not, I would try to get warranteed. If it is a brick, they probably won't be able to tell that it's been flashed. Just to be on the safe side, though, you could try this:
***DISCLAIMER: If you do the following, I take no resposibilty for you blowing up your house, your car or injuring yourself, or damaging any household appliances***
Remove the battery from the phone and connect a 9-volt battery via a couple of wires to the phone's battery contacts. You'll probably need to try all 3 in different combos to make sure that you've "surged" it, but that should work.
This advice is not intended for someone trying to brick a good phone with the intent of defrauding your service provider or insurance. It is intended for someone trying to ensure that a seemingly "dead" phone being sent back for exchange does not display a "contraband" ROM.
