Hi,
My touch HD has been in the drawer for a few months now and it wont turn on or charge. About a month before I stopped using the Touch HD it occasionally got really hot and I had to take the battery out to reset it. I then noticed it would turn its self off and some times not turn on for a few hours. But now it just wont do anything. I can only assume its the motherboard that's away. This leads on to my next question. How can I tell for sure its the motherboard, and if it is where is the best place to get a second hand one? I have charged the batteries and its still not turning on.
Thanks in advance
Jordan
1.check battery charge or if you can replace it with good one
2.check does phone goes to boot menu
about new or second hand PCB check on internet

Thanks for the quick response. Initially it had no change in the battery but i cut the end of a USB cable off and held it on the battery for a while and I did get a charge in to it but still nothing. It is not even trying to boot up. Nothing on the screen at all.
i think im having the same problem hahaha!
ok here is the problem.
4 nights ago i forgot to plug in my hd2 while android was running and the battery died.
the next morning i went to turn it on and the screen no longer turns on but the phone does boot. the battery doesnt charge, status light doesnt either, end key doesnt work, when i answer calls no noise can be heard or made.
any hope?
Im guessing you cant run bootloader?
Maybe this is a warrenty jobby
If you know someone with another HD2, Try swapping the battery.

Hi Chris,
Please eleborate/clarify your OP, because I don't think anyone gets this... At least i don't! You say the screen doesn't turn on but the phone boots?! How do you figure that? Your device is actually on because you can receive/answer calls!?! :S
Sounds like your device has just BSOD (Black Screen of Death) which is discussed quite a lot here. Just press reset button or pull the battery (please tell me you have tried that before...).
If your device IS NOT powered on, please try this:
Does the device vibrate shortly when pressing the End-button? If so you should leave it connected to the charger for longer. If battery has drained too much it takes a while for the device to allow it to power itself up (prevention of overdrainage, which Lithium-batteries don't like very much).
Do you charge through USB, or with the supplied charger? I've had this before trying to charge it with a (different brand) microUSB charger. Turned out most chargers only give out 500mAh, whilst my normal charger (and car-charger) give out 1000mAh i believe. That might help.
You can order a cheap replacement battery from China (i got mine with dockingstation), which is already charged about 60% (for storage purposes).
BTW if your problem is fixed, please add the prefix [FIXED] or [SOLVED] to your topics title.

i have restarted many times.
i use the wall charger.
but why would the phone boot but not turn on the screen or have the mic work?
remove your sd card and the battery. you may have to hit the rest button on the back after you plug the battery back in as well, but as long as you have the sd card out it should come back on. try plugging the phone into a charger and then remove the battery as well sometimes it'll wake it up so to speak. it's just a matter of playing with it. mine did the exact same thing and i freaked out for a little bit.
now if after all this it doesn't work and you've played with it for a while then yeah, best of luck to you =\. but whatever you do in playing with the battery and the charger, keep the sd card out until you can boot into winmo.
EDIT: never mind, i thought the phone wasn't booting. i misunderstood, but i went back and reread the original post. try reflashing your rom if you're in winmo and experiencing those issues. or take the sd card out and reboot.
i would suggest making an backup, as your phone turns on you should be able to estaplish a remote-connection with some (3rd-party-)software and do a hardreset.
if this wont work i would recommend setting it back to factory default (revert hspl if you have one and install stock rom) and send it in for warranty.
seems to be some major problem...
All this steps should be possible without screen turning on (working touchscreen may be needed for backup, but flashing doent need screen input)
if drive-mode is default for your usb connection and holding you from flashing you can do a hardreset and afterwards active sync will be default again and you can establish an active sync connection and flash
check if any of the pins that contact the battery are bended or broken, try to avoid removing the battery when you have to reset your hd2 because the pins are fragile
similar thing happened to me just last night!
I tried the jmz dual boot last night and I was nearly out of battery. I didnt look at any instructions I just installed it and restarted the phone to check out the new toy. it finally got done loading I chose android right away and I was walking towards the bedroom. when I went to see if android had fully booted and plug in the phone I had nothing! It was off. I decided that the battery must have died so I tried to turn it on and all that happened was the tmobile flash screen came up for a second and then it went right off, I got so desperate that I was going to do a hard reset but that wouldnt even work! the boot loader screen would just shut right off. I was suggested to try another battery we had at the house and bang it fired right up I took a wiff of my other battery and I dont know what happened but I think I let the magic smoke out cuz it is fried!

hello friend...i have a problem similar to this. basically when my phone is in android which i use alot if it dies in android, when i reboot it it will turn on for about a second to see my splash screen then turn itself off (the battery is obviously flat). so i plug my charger in and it stays on now but doesnt indicate charging....i boot it into windows mobile and the batt just stays at 0% but its still working. however once i unplug it it will die.....its like the battery is not in the phone. luckily i have two batteries and a dock which charges batteries, so i replaced the battery and everything works fine. once the battery that died in android was fully charged i tried it again and it was fine.................im guesing the moral to this story is dont let your phone die in android mode
I do notice my HD2 runs hotter while in android than while it runs in Windows.
I am not sure if that's an issue to this, which is why I never mentioned about it being hotter. Although my HD2 is noticeable hotter, it never gets to a point that I think I should unplug the USB due to overheating concern...
Just a few inputs from passed experience
I use TMOUS Stock 2.13.531.1 WWE ROM
2.12.50.2_2 radio (not stock)
k going to tmobile today to see if they have any extra batteries i can try.
then ill update
i went to tmobile. and while i was there i noticed the screen was turning on but very dim without backlight (barely noticable). but the rep helping me did not notice and i let it stay that way because tmobile is sending me a new refurbished phone as long as i send the old one (and the rep was totally cool he uses xda also and said they wont check my software and if they do they wont ask for the phone back). he also let me get insurance in case this happens again, instead i will just say its lost. so i basically killed 2 birds with one stone
I have a HTC HD2 for Tmobile that has been sitting in my closet now for 2 years - I went to power it on and nothing happened - I have it plugged into the and no flasing lights anywhere to indicate it's charging - But I have noticed that the soft keys are lite up.
Any help will be appreciated.
You tried taking out the battery and putting it back in, right? That's always the first thing to try.
If you ever installed magldr, it doesn't charge the phone in off-mode, and you can get stuck with a dead battery.
of course I removed the battery - I have ordered a new battery, mabey that will help.
Hi, im new here and im not sure if this is the right place to put this. Im having issues with the HTC vogue on verizon. This phone is from many years ago and i found it laying around in my house. The problem is that when the phone completely dies, it is a challenge to get it on and stay on. So I plug it in to charge and then i turn it on and it will randomly shut off, sometimes before i type my code and if im lucky i go to the battery menu quickly and leave it there and it will charge till the light turns green.
HERES THE BIG PROBLEM I recently put myn's warm donut android on my micro sd card and i got it all working but i drained my battery using it and i kept restarting my phone cause it got a bit slow, and then i shut it down (ive restarted android a few times already) to boot windows mobile and my phone wouldnt turn on. So i plug it into my outlet and i get a solid red light for a minute, then it changes to a flashing orange/amber. If i turn it on it will boot up and ask for my code and as im typing it it shuts off. Afterwards the orange/amber light comes back. I tried hard resetting it and soft and nothing works. Please help me ( its my only phone i have. Could it be the battery also? The battery will spin a little bit if i try to, so it seems that the battery is not so good. The battery water damage sticker is all solid red. Im thinking of ordering a new battery, do you think it will work? Thanks in advance everyone!
EDIT: It stopped charging and im still with the same problem :/ I BEG OF YOU, PLEASEE HELP ME!
I have searched everywhere on xda and all over the web but I just can't find a solution. This is my brothers tablet and he just can't fix it. He bought it new from Comet and used it for a few months and then rooted it. Then a few months later it wouldn't upgrade the android version. It downloaded it OTA and when it tried to install it said error. I ended up flashing the latest version which ended up unlocking the bootloader. All was fine for a while until the stock usb cable had broken, charging worked very slowly when it was in a certain position. So I tried using some other usb cables and it said it was charging but it was ridiculously slow. After several hours it only went up a few %. Then the problem got worse, the tablet said it was charging but it never seemed to go up in battery. I bought a new usb hoping it would work and nothing seemed to have changed. He kept playing on it untill the battery was so low it powered off. Then we tried charging it without powering on and it looked like it was working (black screen with a charging icon). When we tried powering on the battery icon was empty and it went back to square one in a sort of loop. I had looked everywhere and some said we had to hold power down for 30 seconds but it just did this loop over again. Holding power and volume down did nothing, so we were at this one point and it was charging for ages and I gave it another go. Still nothing and after a few attempts it just went completely black and nothing appears on the screen at all. I opened the back without tampering anything at all to see if the battery had come loose and evrything looks ok. I know the warranty has been voided by rooting, unlocking bootloader and opening the back so returning it wont help, and comet shut down a while ago so they cant help. It was quite expensive for us so I don't want to give up just yet. I hope the xda community can help
Sounds like a bad USB port.

So you don't think the battery has any problems? If not how can I solve this problem? Can i replace the USB port or can i buy any docks?
