Blade dead after charging with car-charger

[Guest german_psycho]

Yesterday I was using my Blade for the first-time with a car charger, because I had to go on a longer trip and wanted to use the Google Navigator, to see how well it performs.

No problems during the trip, the Blade showed "Charging" and Navigator worked. When I arrived at my destination I turned of the car for some minutes, to let my wife check-in to our hotel.

During this time, the charger was still connected to the Blade. When my wife came back, I turned my car on again. This is the time when the Blade all of a sudden did a reboot.

I then took the charger out and was able to enter my PIN. Cyanogen booted, but showed only 8% battery. So, when we entered out hotel room I turned of the Blade and tried to charge it "the normal way" via jack.

But the red-light didn't came up, no charging after all. I tried to turn my Blade on again, no success. No red light, no vibrating, no nothing.

I then did the usual stuff, taking the battery, SIM, SD, etc. out.. without success :(

Had the battery out of the Blade for the whole night and tried this morning again, but still no luck.

Any ideas?? Have I fried my whole Blade or just the battery? Anything I can do or do I have a 100 pounds paperweight now?

tia!

plug it in without the battery and see if it works.

if it does, your battery is screwed. if not its your phone.....

Yes,

seems a problem with the battery.

Charge the phone for at least one hour over usb or standard cable and try to turn it on.
