8525 dead after program removed!

I was uninstalling iGuidance GPS software from the phone and for some reason, the phone turned off. At first I thought that I hit the power button, so I tried turning it back on. It will not turn on, charge, or take a hard reset. Ive read many forums and contacted Cingular and HTC. Since it was bought second hand, its not insurable nor under warranty.
I even tried the other reset option mentioned on other forums: hold power button + OK button opposite side and stylus in reset hole.
I went and bought another battery to no luck. Connecting to pc usb does nothing either. None of the LED's light up.
What's sad is that I replaced my 8125 with this phone. Its the best phone ever till now. I had issues with the "black screen of death" but got around that. Yeah, the touchscreen would freeze in standby mode and never get out w/o a reset sometimes. Even during calls but learned to live with it.
What can I do now? Can it be jtagged? Replace internal battery?

Just went there, been there before but didnt find any info on problem. Nothing specifically adressing mine. In Hermes_Unbrick, I just tried the method to find out if I have KITL enabled. I hold the power and comm manager w/ stylus in reset hole. Nothing so I guess it's not enabled. I keep hoping that one or another will do something. If it even light up, I'd be so happy! Never bricked a phone before so I didnt know what the feeling was like to have a phone just die like that. It really sux and is the worst feeling.

Just Call ATT and get the phone replaced.... I bought my 8525 second hand and they Warrantee it without an issue... They never asked me if i bought it second hand or not -=)...

Hope this helps,
Dan

iGuidance has a security feature. Its suppose to deter warez. It bricks your phone. I can only suspect that your using a warez version.

You may be out of luck.

What's warez? If you mean pirated software, I bought mine w/ product key and everything. I used it for a very long time on my 8125 before upgrading to 8525.
Simaand, the void sticker is missing on my phone, do you think it would still be warranteed?

Nope, Sorry...
