After rooting my phone (with much success) and 2 weeks of use, I accidentally let my phone completely drain its battery after inserting the USB cable to charge it (but not inserting the other end into the wall...)
For over 24 hours of being on the wall charger, with the battery inserted and removed for about 12 hours each, the phone is showing no signs of life or promise to boot up. Instead, it taunts me with a blinking orange LED and then nothing.
From insertion of charger with the battery in the phone:
(minute:seconds)
0:00 - Nothing
0:03 - screen backlight turns on
0:08 - screen backlight turns off
0:11 - orange LED blinks on
0:12 - orange LED blinks off
-- repeats 10 times until --
0:22 - constant orange LED
0:25 - constant orange LED turns off
0:26 - orange LED blinks on
0:27 - orange LED blinks off
-- repeats twice until --
0:31 - orange LED stops blinking and nothing else happens.
This will happen every time I reinsert the charger cable into the phone, whereas with the battery removed the backlight will turn on briefly (1-2 seconds) and then nothing else happens.
After a little digging, I've found that a blinking orange LED means my battery is shot and I need to buy a new one. Is this true? Thank you for any help.
