Help LG Lucid Corrupted Bootloader

I am in need of desperate help. My LG Lucid will not turn on or anything, let me explain. It was late and for some stupid reason I ran the bootloader pwnage tool for LG Spectrum on my LG Lucid because I mistook my LG Lucid for a Spectrum. It will not turn on, doesn't vibrate at all, or show any lights when plugged in. Pressing any buttons does nothing at all. Please help me to at least figure things out and if needed a cheap repair. I would greatly appreciate any kind of help.
 
When I plug in the Lucid to my Acer Aspire 5100 running Windows 8.1 32-bit, the lights start flashing at a random interval of 1-5 times and then disconnects and reconnects. If I pop out the battery right when it flashes, it will stay connected till shut off or battery is replaced. If you need, I can give diagnostics through varying Ubuntu commands you specify. It doesn't react differently upon what buttons are pressed. I have both Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. No screen activity or haptic feedback is shown, no audio of any kind signals anything.
