Is my Diamond dead?

hey guys,
I hope anyone of you can help me. While I have ran Hard SPL I put out my USB cabel from the phone, after this my monitor of my phone run into black. I have tried to get into the Bootloader nothing happens, then i took out the battery for one night and nothing happens, I can't start my phone. Have anybody an idea or is my Handy defect?
thank you
Pulling out the USB cable during a flash is a NO, NO !
So there is No power to the device and thus you can't get to bootloader.
Sounds like a goner to me.
Yep, send it to service, and probably they will swap the mainboard...
no chance, have no guarantee on it... damn s***, so i have to sell it on defect status.
thx

Sounds like a death battery to me...
Try charging for one hour.., Then try to turn it on..
I don't think it does mathers if your phone is locked...,
Let me know the result
it charged my battery over 2h. nothing ....i can not turn on my breeze. the first minute i got a red charging light. like everything is ok.
i got no connection with my xp pc and active sync. the device manager can not detect the breeze. so i can not install any other boot program
any other ideas?
thanks
I had the same problem, it was hardware related though.
There are two little metal contacts that ground the battery cover, well one of them slipped though a little and was shorting pins on the motherboard. So fortunately nothing blew and it just was not turned on.
So obviously there is some form of protection from shorts that it will not power on.
Anyway check if it will turn on if only the motherboard, LCD and battery is plugged, without housing or anything else. Be sure that the back of the battery does not get into contact with the MB if you are going to try.
Good luck, hope you get it fixed..

Dropped my diamond... can't power on

HELP HELP HELP!
Yesterday my diamond dropped off my hand (yes , I know...) and hit the ground from 50 cm at max.
It was powered on when it happened. When I took it up, it was powered off and stayed since.
Cannot make it turn on in any way... when I hook it up to power cord, it charges! Even with usb from pc.
Somebody has got any idea? I'm quite desperate...
If you're confident enough,try this one, might be your case:

If you dare not, have it explained to a phone technician and done for you.
And coz you said you dropped it...

[Q] black screen+ usb not working+

My phone have had some problems with connecting with usb earlyer and its been coin flip will pc regonize it, well after instaaling some apps and making back up before that i noticed that im getting black screen and have to reboot to get my galaxy screen working back.
FInally i made factory reset but then i got really big problem, when i start galaxy it shows the galaxy text and after it that flashing S logo but after it screen goes black and thats pretty much it!
Also usb not working dont know shuold it be in that state working!?
And pressing those 3 buttons wont do anything have tried multipletimes everyday, so my phone has locked me out pretty good is there any solutions on that? Or is my phone totally ****ed up?
Hopefully you will be able to cure it with the jig method (look in dev section)

What rom where you on before ?
Well phone where updated with Froyo 2.1 but nothing else. oh it were also rooted and thats about it! have been thinking about to sending phone back to the manufacturer! dont really have time trying to find some cure for it.
Rooting = no warranty so you would be best to clear it via jig just in case .

rere
hi there it been longtime since i wroted here.
Well i tryed the jig method with usb cable and with single 300k resistance, made little mistake not to measure it before because there is a 5% tolerance with it so my resistance were only 294k. Doesnt work btw phone dont do anything with it, well i have to make new cable and be sure that it is the 301k resistance. will be adding new info after it what will happen. Im slightly scare that even getting that right resistance it wount do anything, it wuold be that point when i will send it to samsung and maybe get it working again.
Downloading...
okay. next problem with jig managed to get my phone to download mode!! JIIHAA
but now my computer cant regonize it!? actually this problem had before the magical black screen. Any solutions for that? have installed new usb drivers and oldones but cant find it.
PLS need more help!!
Sounds like you need to clean the cable. I've had a hell of a time with these issues in the past. When it is on again off again (or you just get 'generic device' or unkown device) then try cleaning the port on the computer with running alcholol and something tiny enough to get in there.
I did that after a huge long search on here and it was like freakin magic. 8 drivers popped up all at once!
Never hurts to do the comp and the cable too (and make sure its not a charging only micro usb...).

Did you insert the sim card properly? Did you force it on its way in?
It is posiboe that you bent the pins that read the sim card, and caused a short circuit. That's you worst case scenario, though.
Try to connect the phone into flashmode, holding volume down and then plug the USB in while still holding volume down. Does the PC recognizes it? If so l, there is hope, you can try and restore the firmware from there using Sony Update Service.
Umm, i was trying to connect to pc like that, hold volume down and connect, nothing happens. Only when i connect cable to pc or to other energy sources, its red light shining about 5-8seconds, and its gone. When i put it in to wall source(i dont know how its called) it starts to tick sometimes, i mean red shine, nothing, red shine nothing, and all hour, and sometimes red light 5-8secs and its dead. Well i dissamblied my phone now, i dont see any burst parts, everythings looks okay, what should i do? Maybie try to check with power checking screwdriver where power is "walking around" ?
the battery is depleted. you need a wall charger with minimum 2 Amperes output
I would try the same,very good hint

The corosion can take many months after the phone taking water. Anyway next time just start by that point, and buy a new phone if your phone has take water.
Thank you for help dudes, i got luck that i pay for phone insurance, i got new working phone for free. Thank you for trying to help, another z is dead, because of water. NOTE : Dont believe of any waterproofs phones, because i just had it , and it died after 2months of using
People the phone is water RESISTANT. Nobody said you should go diving with it, dunk it in a glass of beer, or spray it with a hose. It's meant to withstand emergenices like spills and quick drops in water.

You should put that on your signature. You cannot be more correct. People goes nuts with the phone, "I will take my phone to some snorkeling", "I'ma bring mah phone to the river rapids", "I'm going to take underwater pictures", etc, etc, etc.
