Hi, I've had my EVO 4G for 1 week exactly now. 2 nights ago I had a problem where the phone wouldn't come out of sleep mode and so I pulled the battery and problem solved, today I held in the power but and touched "Shut Down" and it did so, well now I can't get it to turn on. Completely unresponsive.. I can't reset it because holding volume and power does nothing, charging light doesn't appear either and my PC doesn't recognize the phone. It's not rooted either. And the battery was at half point when I shut it down.

sounds like a hardware issue. not much you can do at this point, but take it in.

I have had the same problem, usually a dead unresponsive battery. Are you using a charger for a different phone? That seems to be whats killing my battery.
