white screen

So I let my phone battery run down to nothing, and now I've got the whitescreen.

I've taken out the battery, put it in, plugged it in for hours to get a charge, and still nothing. I've done the ctrl+shft+f trick, to no avail. Right now, if I were to unplug it, the screen would go blank, suggesting a battery problem. If I plug it back in, after a minute it will go whitescreen.

I had the phone flashed two months back, and everything has been fine since then... that is until I let the battery dwindle to nothing...:icon4:

Incidentally, the battery was new two months back, too. But when plugged in now, the recharge indicator doesn't go on.

Any ideas?

Update: I found another battery, one with a charge, and that started up the phone.

Left the "whitescreen" battery in over night and it still doesn't have a charge.

Lesson: don't run down the battery to zero.
