If that didnt fix the problem than your battery has most likley gone bad. If you know any one else with a 6700 try swapping batterys.

I've tired taking the battery out moving it around to make sure all terminals are lined up & that hsnt worked.. I havent tried a new battery yet, cause I dont know anyone else with one would hate to buy a new one if that wont work either.. But the phone was working perfectly this morning then i put it on the charger & now this

Try charging the battery in the cradle. Do you get a red light there too?

Batteries can be had on ebay pretty cheap.

and try plugging your phone in with no battery, then soft reset... if it comes up, then the battery is bad, or worse the charging electronics in the phone is bad.

with no battery in & plugged in, the light flashes red. Not a good sign huh?

This phone won't work without a battery installed--even if plugged in.

I tried just placing the battery itself on the charger to see if I still would get a red light, but it was green.. i put the battery back in the phone & nothing.. tried charging the unit & steady red light.. Has my phone gone to where ever ppc's go when they die??
