    Dead k550i IR blinking.

    Hello. So I end up with a dead k550i. Here's the story about my phone.
    Bought it second hand so I have no warranty or so.
    It worked fine for about 1 month, then suddently it started to freeze, shutting itself down, popping up white screen etc. Sometimes it could work ok for 1-2 days, sometime it just did the stuff above almost all the time. So I flashed it to w610 firmware, and the phone worked fine for about 2 days, and I though that I solved my problem. However after about 2 days the phone started to do same things as before (freezes etc). Sometimes it took about 15 minutes to turn it on again (Blinking IR, white screen, rebooting etc). Yesterday I was browsing SMS inbox when phone suddently freezed (as usually). I removed the battery and tried to turn it on again, but all I get now is 6 times blinking IR light and nothing else. What I know is that my phone is CID53 Red (updated with SEUS before, yeah :/). I have no backup of GDFS and I don't think it's possible to fix Erom on CID53 (Tried several tools like xs++4.2 on Linux, KulanKendi Erom fix, Farmanager etc), but nothing seems to help (must be couse of cid 53). Went to The Phone House and asked about fixing it, but all they say that if I have no warranty, they can take a look on the phone, but they cannot promice they will fix it and they charge 40 euro just for taking a look. Not a real option for me... Now, is my phone a clear brick, or is it fixable in some way?
    Thanks for answers.

    Ok. Thanks. What would be the cheapest / easiest way to get this phone fixed? Is it possible that it's hardware fault and soft is fine?

    sounds like a software fault to me.
