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.
Thanks for the advice.
Strangely enough I pulled the battery and left it out for a while, put it back and plugged the USB in and it started charging. When I turned it on the battery said 100%, which it wasn't, then it charged up and is working fine. I will reflash tonight, but I am beginning to wonder if it may be the cable (I noticed the one end is coming loose) or just a one time fluke. I really do not think it has anything to do with NRG's rom, they have been the most stable I have tried.
