check in your device manager to see if its loading the correct drivers. if not then uninstall drivers from device manager then search for hardware changes and reinstall drivers. btw theres a thread for unbrick questions.

tried it. I think I know the problem. I don't know if u have seen my other post but I tried to make a charger for the phone and it broke it to were it would not turn on but just yesterday I had it plugged in and it booted up. when it booted up I was going into Google play to update some of my apps and it kept giving me errors. so I was going to go into recovery and fix the permissions and it popped up with the deadly morning call error. I think I messed up some internals by doing such so idk. I have metrogurard that I pay for every month so does this cover it? if they see that morning call thing does it void it or can that be caused by non root problems? I was just going to tell the that I plugged it into the lg support tool to update then the app stopped responding and it left me with the morning call error.
 
if you have had the phone for less than a year you can also go to the lg site and request a ra (repair authorization )# then send it to them and they will just put a new mobo in it. if they give you an ra# i would go ahead and fry it all the way lol before i sent it. metropcs will just send it to lg anyway except charge you for it. it only cost me like $6 using the small if it fits it ships box at the post office when i sent mine to them. just say it no longer powers on when you fill out the ra request. but you can try metro if you want but i doubt they will replace it since they dont sell those phones anymore.

from reading metros protection plan it says if your phone is no longer manufactured they will send you a phone of equal value. what phone do you think they would give me and can i just take it in to metro to get a new phone or no.

Well the reason your phone won't unbrick is because it's not bricked. It's fried. You tried to ghetto rig a charger and blew the internal circuit.
