Have I killed it?

[zbaintner]

HI

I had purchased a refurbished HTC Desire HD last year in July. I never messed up with the software or the registry or anything like that, just some downloads from google play store (Viber, some games, antivirus...)

Today I got stuck in boot loop. that thing restarted all over again, but never getting beyond the 'Rethink possible' screen (the one after HTC quietly brilliant). I took out the battery and tried to restart. Same again.

then I removed the battery and sim for about half an hour and replaced them. WHen I tried to reboot, I got no screen, just some 'shocks' (I think seven or so) but nothing else. this happened two, three times, now it is not doing anything at all.

I tried my luck with the volume button and power button. I got some shocks again, but then it was fully dead. I had replaced battery two three times and tried my luck again, but nothing. Have I killed my phone or is there still some hope?

(I have no inkling about software version, etc.)

Ah, the old seven vibes of death! (its not as bad as you might think)

Quite a few of other members have had similar problems, and they got help here. Hopefully the information in this thread will help you

Hello and welcome to Android Forums, zbaintner - thanks for joining!

I'm sorry to say that, as your phone is doing 7 vibes, that means that it is pretty much toast.

It would require a repair - flashing RUU's/ROM's will not work. You may be able to get it repaired by a high street phone repair shop... wouldn't like to say for sure though. You would definitely need to tell them about 7 vibes being the problem... they should be able to tell you there and then if they can repair it.
