Dead S500i

[pokedoke]

Hi. I'm new to everything, so please walk me through any solutions you might have.

I recently had my s500i die on me. No problems as far I was concerned; electromagnetic interference, water damage, nothing ever happened it to it besides 4 drops.

Within 3 hours of my checking, it died and never turned on again. No response or anything.

The battery was at least 80%, and I'm using this battery in a w760, so I know it works.

Even with it plugged in, it does not respond to a power on. Other SE phones blink white at the least I think? Mine stays black.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated...I'd like to be able to get this phone working again.

--update--

I recently tried to flash it (I'm not too sure how to do, but I think I figured it out with help from the guides) and it shows this..

19:30:24| Attempting to open the interface...
19:30:24|
19:30:24| TURN OFF PHONE!
19:30:24| Hold 'C' button on phone and connect phone NOW.
19:30:24| You have 30 seconds...
19:30:24|
19:30:32| Baseband ID: 9900
19:30:32| Protocol Version: 3.1

And it gets stuck there.

SE Tools shows this...

ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
BOOTROM MODE DETECTED
Speed:921600
err: 45 (13)
Trying to launch embedded bootloader...
embedded flashloader not responds !
Elapsed:40 secs.

Anybody have any ideas?
