I've owned my Play for approximately 5-6 months now(not sure whether or not this serves any relevance) and it has worked fine throughout. However, yesterday as I was sending a text the phone completely crashed. (Which is fine, I understand some bit of data may have overloaded the OS causing this)

However, as I tried rebooting my phone nothing happened and the light on the power button simply blinked red 3 times.

I've attempted taking out the battery, connecting it to a computer and even charging it overnight but nothing seems to work.


So in shorter terms, my phone won't turn on; a red light flashes whenever I push the button, what do I do?

As i said after updating with unlocked bootloader got similar problem -phone dont start, but i didn get any led light (even while connect to phone/charging). I waited week and phone starts. Still dont know what was/is wrong.
