Phone will not rest - Red LED on charging

[Spey]

I'd been enjoying ROM upgrades from Helmi 20071108. Thaks luv2chill for your assistance answering a few questions on first go-rounds, and thanks to naigaboy for the comprehensive post on Stuck in new Bootloader 2.04/2.05 (I made the mistake of previously "upgrading" to VZW 3.3). After less than a week of enjoying a Helmi-6700, it was stolen ...

Recently received "new" XV-6700 replacement phone. Checked Bootloader Version 2.02 (thankfully didn't need to go through that Revert Bootloader process on this replacement phone).

Problem:
Currently this phone will not power up, reset or hard reset (both menu butons + reset) and when plugged into power the red-LED is illuminated (upper right LED is typically amber-LED indicating charging). After initially checking Bootloader, then resetting the phone to the Today Screen the only thing this phone did was sit pluggend into a wall charger. Any assistance would be appreciated.
