He may not have insurance. He is probably trying to do a regular warranty claim.

I would say just try doing an update and yanking the power... I've always wanted to do that...

But what is wrong with the phone seriously? I'm sure someone here can get it back working.

Plug your charger into 210, that's what I had to do once. Leave it plugged in for about 30 seconds. It will never turn back on..

this is funny as hell. fraud yes but we all are guilty of it a little. I've called up customer service who knows how many times asking for help "but I don't know what happened, i just use it as normal."

brick idea: take two leads from a wall plug (120 volt) and connect to the phone's battery terminals. sure to blow something.

disclaimer: i do not condone falsifying information to get a free phone at all or at least any more than I may or may not have done so.

Just do what I did and try to upgrade to HTC home 2.1 with WinMo 6.1 and have it reboot every five seconds then out of no where stop turning on. I have no clue what happened but I got a free replacement from sprint no questions asked.

If anyone can PM me what their ideas are about what happened that would be nice.

Old gadgets do die...
