My EVO Died right now! :(

[jimmiekain]

the sound works when i turn it on i can hear the sound... and the 4 buttons on the bottom are lite up but the screen is just straight black. I have pulled the batt out 4 times still nothing... I have had it out for a little while now and will try it again after its been an hour. Either way, rather it comes back on tonight again or not I'm going to the sprint store tomorrow and asking them to replace it with a brand new one (not a refurbished one... i doubt they have refurbs yet but still) if they dont, i'm taking it back to best buy for a full refund.

Curious, how have you been charging your EVO? The provided charger and cable or something third party?

Something like this happen to me two days ago. I received a text message so I turn on the screen, and when I was sliding down the lock screen I received another text message. The slider was stuck half way and the screen turned off. I tried turning on the screen and pressing all the buttons but nothing happen. I received another text and I could hear the ringtone but the screen just wouldn't turn on. The four bottom buttons were lighted up. I was gonna remove the battery but couldn't remove the battery cover. lol Then after like 10 - 15 minutes the phone restarted it self and I haven't had any problems since.
