Hi there...
Here are a few suggestions for you but I imagine you have tried these already!

The last time this happened to me I was lucky enough to just remove the SE MS memory card. It had become corrupted, causing the phone to lock-up and
shutdown! 'Trash it.' Do not try to reformat as it will just lock up again.

However on other occasions, temporarily removing the battery and/or sim card for 60 seconds seemed to allow a re-boot/start-up to re-commence.
(These solutions must be done with the P910i disconnected from the charger)

In my experience over the past 5 years (1xP900 / 3xP910i / 1xP990) even fully charged genuine SE batteries can loose their charge and die very quickly, if you use them for high power applications whilst charging the phone at the same. But I may have just been unlucky!

This happened to me when using the excellent 'TomTom V.5.2' Sat-Nav system (for Symbian UIQ phones) on my P910i and a Bluetooth GPS Receiver for a 1200km/10hr+ trip from North West Spain to Seville in Southern Spain via Portugal.

The battery was fully charged at the beginning of the trip, but when the journey time became extended due to traffic delays, I decided to switch to charging the P910i (at the same time) from the SE 12v in-car charger.
It swiftly killed the battery dead?😮

Finally you didn't mention if you had tried a new battery in your P910i. If not,
to eliminate your battery as the problem, borrow another battery of the same type and see if it breathes life back into the phone. Or be cheeky.
Go to an independent phone dealer and ask to try a new one out in his shop.
