Absolutely Bricked!

[jonaskarud]

I'm the repairman of the neighborhood. repairing all kinds of things, from bicycles to plasma screens, mostly for free. A man came in with a HTC Touch Pro which he had updated via HTC:s Updating service. When he rebooted the
machine it died! And I mean, it absolutely died. The first thing I tried was a soft reset, then a hard, with powerbutton, downvolume and enter. There's not a sign of life, even tried a new battery. It is as bricked as anything can get. Shall I throw it in the waste basket and pretend that the thing never have existed?
