g1 wont turn on

[abbietoeknee]

i've had problems with my phone shutting off on its own free will. never a huge problem, always came back on. however, the other night i reached in my coat pocket to see it had turned off again. couldn't get it to turn on. took the battery and sim out, let it sit for a while - came back on, booted to android screen then turned off.

later in the night i tried again turned on and started vibrating constantly. power button wasn't functioning to turn it off, so i took the battery out.

yesterday i tried a few times to turn it on and it wouldn't boot past the android screen. now it won't even turn on.

haven't braved the snowy roads yet to visit t-mo and i don't have a phone to call them.

any ideas? fixes? and yes i've charged it.

Hold down camera button and hit the power button. Report back! G/L!

no love on the camera+power button fix. still wont turn on.

i've now noted that no light comes on when lil g1 is plugged into the charger. as if it doesn't recognize im sending it sweet battery power.

Ummm, not that you haven't thought of this, but are you sure that charging is working?

i have 2 chargers and neither are providing love. i could go out to my car and see if it will suck battery out there. i've also switched outlets a few times, just to be sure it wasn't some electrical problem in my apartment.

Call T-mobile. Hopefully they can help and get you fixed up

yeah, this is definitely not normal behavior. my phone has NEVER, not once, shut off on its own.

Your flux capacitor is definitely fried. Now you will never get the chance to have sex with your mom and beat up the bully. I would consult the professor before he gets hit by lightning.

Dude, careful taking your G1 to mexico! Possible massive bills!

I guess my Back to Future references were a bit . . . oblique, sorry
