I'm guessing you have a defective end key, happened to my first TP2. Basically the end key / power key (for verizon) breaks and gets stuck down, so the power keeps coming on and off. if you mess with it enough and hit soft reset enough times you will eventually be able to get it to boot but you have to be quick and click on no to the power off message. Then you can use your phone at least but the end key won't work.
