Got an useless evo dont knw what to do

I got a brick with me (useless evo) why: Idk ik here i go i was trying to flashd a zip, stock rom but the evowhile flashing the zip appears on the screen like a lot of dots different colors n continue with the zip. Then i turn it off. Turn it on well i try but didnt turn on it doesnt show a sign of life, i chance the battery with a fully charged one and nada. So i been with this evo like a week now and idk what to do with it. Throw it away burn it break it or what. Or theres a place where it can b fix n how much do u think it will cost me to fix it... Thanks in advace

Re: Got an useless evo dont knw what to do

take battery out for about five minutes.................put battery back in, then press and hold the top power button and volume-down button...........hold those two until the bootloader screen appears (hopefully it will), then choose "recovery"
