WIth the battery out, hook it to the USB cable on your computer, then put the battery in and power the phone on. Does it do anything?

Good luck with your problem however you need to make sure you post in the proper forum. This should have been posted in the TP2 forum not the Upgrades section.

This happened to me after i fell asleep while it was in bootloader mode. When i woke up I unplugged it from the computer but couldn't power it on. I'm guessing that by me having the phone in that "state" it wasn't able to stop itself from overcharging. I called my buddy and popped his battery in my phone and it turned right on. I called Sprint, told them I left it charging and it fried my battery. They credited my account for one and I ordered a replacement. If anything just hit a sprint store, I hear they have extras.
