If a new battery doesn't help, you might have to call VM for a replacement phone.
 
Turn the phone off

Remove battery

Remove SD card

Let sit for 15 min,

Put the battery back in but leave the memory card OUT, then start it up.

Give it a few minutes, once it get to homescreen THEN but memory card back in.
 
I noticed mine would get this issue from time to time when my battery was low and I tried to do a reboot. Maybe plug in your phone, let it charge for a while, then try to boot up again. Has worked for me thus far.

Good luck!
