Did he have it overclocked? Hopefully the motherboard didn't fry itself.
no I don't think so. I think he just had whatever kernel came with the rom. its just weird. he didn't have any issues with it then it just suddenly did this. still won't turn on.

I have this installed [ROM] CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 for Hero CDMA
I was running wifi tethering and installing a game called chess.
I heard my phone vibrate quickly and the screen was black. I tried to turn it back on. But nothing. So I removed the battery and waited a couple minutes. I cant get it to come on.
So I plugged it into a charger and the red/orange LED is on as if it is charging.
The phone will not even attempt to start up
Any ideas?

Phone just seems dead to me... probably just needs to charge for an hour or so
If it's not charge up and running by now, you'll need a new battery.
Thanksgiving day I had my phone on but was doing things around the house and when I went to check my phone it wouldn't wake. Holding down the power button, nothing, it was dead. I know the battery wasn't drained. So I plugged it into my USB and the light didn't turn on either. I sat staring at the phone for a few seconds to troubleshoot and it suddenly began to boot up and after everything loaded I could confirm it was half charged.
I'm running the same version of Cyanogen as you. Are you using the original battery or 3rd party? Mine is 3rd party.
Have you had other strange occurrences leading up to this? Twice in a week I woke up to find my phone on even though I know I shut it down the night before and not accidentally rebooted.
Since I was able to get my phone to boot back from temporary dead the phone has frozen twice while texting. I didn't battery pull or anything, it just rebooted by itself after a few minutes. I plan on switching back to my old battery to see what happens.
I found a ROM I really liked around 2 months ago and stopped following the development on this phone.
Yeah, so, my phone started freezing up occasionally about two weeks ago. Couldn't fix it, so I just pulled the battery and didn't think much of it. Kept working until a day or two later when it would freeze again. Last night, it was at 4% battery life, and it froze. I let it die and went to sleep.
This morning, I started downloading AIO so I could flash it to stock. Plugged my phone in, nothing. Not showing any signs of functionality. No combination of battery pulling, plugging in, holding the volume buttons/power button can get any life out of this thing.
Also, it gets hot if I have it plugged in for 5 min or so.
Is my Captivate dead?
Sounds like it could be a hardware problem. I works suggest taking it to att if you can't get it to do anything

I rooted my phone last week thanks to the xda forum
[ROM]-Unoffical AOKP
[Kernel]-No change.
phone worked great, awesome battery life, was on the phone for 4 hours and still i had 40% left, that to while using skype on wifi. Normally the phone used to die within the first 2-3 hours.
I was checking on the various kernels, just coz i wanted to get the ATT world phone image out of my phone! so i used icyglitchv14, well it worked.
But for some reason the phone's battery seemed to drain faster when the phones idle. The phone was back to its crappy battery life.
Yesterday, i flashed the unofficial AOKP ROM build 25 (thanks) the battery life improved drastically, though i have no clue as to why!
Problem now? Battery won't charge, rebooted, turned phone off, but battery just wouldn't charge.
Solution: Remove the battery, hold on to the power button for 5s, replace the battery and turn on the phone. It started charging.
I don't know if its a bug, or if its got to do with the icyglitch power states ( i used conservative), but hope someone checks this out.
i am 100% baffled that this just worked for me, but thanks so much for posting this
Thanks marcknight.
Noticed it around 15% and started to panic.
Turned to my trusty XDA hoping for a solution before it died completely.
One of those strange instances of: Don't ask HOW or WHY, just know that it works.
this worked for me!
this worked for me!
I was also using aokp build 40 ics. and the power mode I believe that I set it on was conservative, I guess i shouldn't use that mode anymore! My power button also doesn't work very well so i was basically mashing all of the buttons while the battery was out of the phone and also while the phone was plugged in, then i inserted the battery and it just started booting with the att screen.
Not charging
That happens to me today. Because I read this earlier I did the same and Voila!!
Thanks!!!
Mine stopped charging too.. and its stock
I am running stock ATT firmware and the battery will charge outside the phone but in the phone it shows charging but gos dead. I have tried the 2 amp power charger for my nexus 7 and that won't even charge it. Good thing I got a cheap external charger a while back.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
a guess: removing the battery, then holding the power key for a few seconds causes the max8998 power management chip to reset, probably by discharging a capacitor or equivalent.
liberate your captivate on xda
Having the same thing happen to me right now. I using the Captivating ROM, just tried your solution, will see how goes. Thanks.
Before I went to bed, phone was at 32%. Didn't plug it in as I figured it would last until I wake up. Missed my alarm, and thought my phone died. Plugged it in, said it we at 0%. Turned it on, and it says 32%, and it freezes. So I hard reset it. Anyone else have this problem?
Happened to me once, I haven't found a cause or a solution for it though.

When i got the phone from ATT it was completely dead and didnt turn on. Plugged in the charger it said 49% and from then on never experienced again. Have been using since 40 days and battery life is decent so far
:C Guess I got a lemon! Damnit.
It happened to me last night. I was actually using my phone when it happened. Im not sure why. My phone is at 25 percent now. Its hasnt happened again.

I had the same issue, the phone came dead i charged it up for about 10 mins and it was at 50%. Then the battery was around 40% and died. I charger it for 10 mins back to 50% and then never has that issue again... Worried.
WEIRD, wonder what the problem is :S
I can't get my phone to turn on (or at least stay on).
Last night I plugged it in before going to bed, just like I always do. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. This morning, however, when I woke up, it was off (even though I had left it on) and I couldn't get it to turn on at all. I didn't have time to examine it much before going off to school so I just took it with me (despite its apparent uselessness) and it never turned on. Now that I'm home I am able to look at it more in depth, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
Every time I plug it in to charge, the LED light comes on for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then turns off again, I'm not sure if that means anything. On two occasions now, I've been able to turn the phone on to the point where it shows the HTC logo, but that lasts for a second or so and then it shuts off again. I haven't been able to get it past that point.
I haven't gone through any changes with the phone as of recently. I haven't even installed any new apps or anything for awhile now. I really don't know what would have triggered this sort of behavior. It just seemed to happen for no reason overnight.
Any ideas and/or help would be much appreciated.

You should have read more before flashing clockworkmod...
You need another battery... And twrp or wcx recovery...
Flash either recovery... Except cwm... Then put your battery back in and voila... It charges...
