dropped phone, battery died, will not turn on, red light in charger
i was walking up the stairs last nite and some how my phone fell out of my pocket and the battery popped out. when i put it back in it worked fine, when i got home after my battery died, it wont turn back on, when i put it on the charger, i get a red light where the charging light is can anyone tell me if i completely f**ked up my phone?!?!?!
1. Take the phone into bright light and power it up. If you see an image but it's dark, you may have cooked your backlight.
2. Check the battery and charging contacts on your phone. If either are dirty, your phone may not charge or operate properly. Canned air works well to clean them.
3. Remove the battery and charge it in the base... without the phone. That'll tell you if your problem is battery or phone. If reattaching the battery after a charge powers up your phone, it is likely the charging circuit that was damaged.
thanks guys...i charged the battery at the base w/o the phone for...... i don't know... 5 minutes and i put it back in my phone and turned it on..works fine.......connected it back to the charger and it works fine also... weird huh?

This used to happen to my 6600 periodically. I was always dropping that thing. It had the 3300Ma battery as well, so it was like a brick...
Anyway, after either leaving it on the charger for a period of time, or hard-resetting the device it would come back to life (until I dropped it and popped off the battery again).
