Try a hard reset. Other than leaving the battery out overnight, may be time to talk to Sprint......

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.

Hope the tips help

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).
