My HTC Desire S turns on then stays on the carrier screen (Orange) for 8+ minutes, then I hear the bingity-bong sound as if it's starting-up properly before it goes to a black screen. It stays on the black screen (presumably forever) although around every 10 minutes or so it 'bing-bongs' again almost as if it's trying to start up properly, but nothing appears to change.
Through this Forum (thank you!) I've learnt how to get to the factory reset screen (volume down, power button, etc) although I'd prefer not to do a Factory Reset unless I absolutely have to. Also the top of that screen it reads
LOCKED (in pink)

I don't know whether this is right or might cause problems even if I do a Factory Reset?
The phone no longer connects to my windows laptop via USB - either nothing happens, or on one attempt the laptop said that the device was not recognized. I've tried a different battery, removing SD card and SIM. Before this problem, the phone had been getting a little slow and appearing to freeze for 20 seconds or so on some screens/in some apps.
Any suggestions would be very very welcome.
