About LinkBacksMy rezound's screen doesn't work. I'm starting to think the previous owner tried to root and bricked the phone. My orange charge light comes on, but as soon as I press the power button it goes off and nothing happens. I've checked battery voltage and it's at 4.01v, so it appears it's fully charged.
"IF" the phone was rooted and bricked, not knowing anything about how/when/why..... can I set it back to stock in any way, shape or form?

08-01-2012 09:48 PMHey Vetteguy, when you checked the battery voltage, did you do so with a load of about 400mAh?? If not, then you are looking at the "open circuit" voltage which will always be higher. Once the phone attempts to boot, it places a load on the battery, and if the battery is in a poor state of charge, the voltage will drop quickly and could dip below the boot minimum, triggering the symptoms you are experiencing.

08-01-2012 09:56 PMI thought about that, but what is the easiest way to test with a load? I tried touching the leads to the battery terminals but they just push the battery away from the contacts.

08-01-2012 10:05 PMI've already got the phone apart, so I just took the red backing off and held the battery in place, with my wifes help we touched the + and - and it's only getting 0.50 volts and slowly drops, so I'll let it charge overnight and try again tomorrow. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

08-01-2012 10:11 PMShouldn't the phone boot while plugged in though? Even with a bad batt or no batt I would think it would try?

08-02-2012 05:45 PMOk, just got home to a green light full charge on the phone. With the phone still apart I verified with my multimeter that it's getting 4.31v and when the power button is pressed it drops to 4.28, yet the phone appears dead, no vibration from the motor, no sounds, nothing!
When you guys turn your Rezound on, does the charge light also turn on and what color? Is that light only orange when charging and green when full charge, but not on at all when phone is turned on normally? I'm just looking for other ways to verify a dead LCD before I buy one. -
