Help EVO 4G Died suddenly

Hi,
My HTC Evo 4G suddenly died for no reason at all. The battery was very very low and I turned on the phone. Then I kept it on the table and went around to look for the charging cable. When I returned with the cable, the phone was off. I tried connecting the cable but no LED ot any indication that it is charging. I tried switching it on again but no use. It does nothing, nothing at all, no blinks, no lights or anything. I left the battery out for a day or two, then inserted the battery and tried to charge, still no luck. I tried different charging cables and wall chargers, no luck. Also tried to charge the battery directly by applying appropriate voltage, and did not work. I have no idea now what the problem is. The phone is out of warranty and there is no insurance.

The phone is rooted and the firmware is stock.
 
Lamentably, I'm traveling these days and am not in the country, so no access to another battery. A local guy here told me that the battery polarity is somehow reversed, i wonder if that is even possible.
