No lights come on when plugged in and all of the buttons are dead.
However, when it is plugged in and I press the reset button on the bottom, a red LED comes on for just a second.
1. Is my phone dead?
2. If it is, can I get it replaced/repaired through HTC under warranty? (bought a few months ago new on ebay.
Try a hard reset
