reflash....possible to stock to check it out, IDK what ROM you loaded but try this and see... (hopefully is not a GSM ROM)

that happened to me with my tp one... turned out the screen craped out. try to find a program that lets you view your screen through your PC monitor. that will let you know if the screen is dead.

I agree with Skruff77, I think your battery is dead. These phones will not power on unless the battery circuit is good and complete. Looks like a trip to the Sprint phone store is in your future.

Sounds like the charger or the charging circuit in the phone is bad and toasting your batteries. Call Sprint support or go to a store and have them check your batteries and charger and phone

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?
