Just to make sure, the battery was also from a C550? Have you tried leaving it sitting on the AC charger? Letting it sit on USB is normally no good as there isnt enough voltage going through it.

Just an update.. The phone started to boot the orange start up screen days later after being left  the turn itself off and then nothing for at least 20 mins, then the same, orange start up screen then nothing, kept trying to to a hard reset but could never get it to activate. Left a few days with battery out then tried a hard reset . This time it caught the press zero to continue screen which i did it then went blank and stayed like that for a few minutes doing nothing like a normal reboot..

Finally it said no sim press to continue which i did and it just hung on no sim screen. Getting desperate i did it again with a sim in from a hard reset. This time i got  past the valid sim screen and it then said Cold reboot phone restarting which it did.. ( heart Pumping madly) and wahoo        its back to normal..

What happened, corrupt firmware ? who know's. Just one thing when i take battery out it loses date and time is this normal or has the onboard battery died. Don't seem to remember it doing this.

The backup battery is either flat or faulty. Give it a good few hours charge after the main battery shows full then try it.

Check your warranty at http://service.htceurope.com/ if it is faulty.

Damm      Its crashed again won't switch on again, the odd flash on the red LED then tries to start, Is the backup battery causing this problem ?. Can it be replaced ? Going to have to catch it again and try to get it to reboot.. It appears to charge the battery even though its got no led's showing
