Just a follow up...After, not being able to turn on the phone via soft reset or hard reset, I took off the cover above the battery. You have to remove the top two screws. I cleaned the connection, blew inside, and put it back on. And everything is working now. I don't know if that really did it or not. But, it's working now. Before I put the screws back in, I also jarred the back housing a bit, in an attempt to remove it. So, maybe there was some sort of loose connection. However, I find it odd that before, the blank screen problem was an intermittent problem. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn't. And pressing the power button WHILE it worked, made the screen go blank and stay blank. And then it was a repeat process of soft reset, hard reset, until it worked. But now, it works after the aforementioned steps. I'll follow up if the screen goes blank again...
