Fuse might be gone out.

A fuse on something as small as a phone is going to be about the size of a pencil lead. It can be replaced, but it requires somewhat specialized tools, like a hot air gun (around 400°) and tweezers. It's not the kind of thing you can go down to Radio Shack and pick up. To test, you need a continuity tester, like a multi-meter, but you need to find it first. It will look like all the rest of the parts on the circuit board and there could be more than one. They're really not designed to be replaced. It's to keep really bad things from happening, like the battery exploding. Also, if the fuse blew, it usually means something else is wrong that caused it to blow. I would make sure at least one of the batteries you tried has a good charge and the charger is making contact. I have an old MPx220 that won't hold a charge and has poor contact so getting it to start charging is a pain.

^hmm thats a good point, considering fuses are a type of safety measure incase something else happens. oh well, ill probably just end up using it as a paper weight sadly...maybe ill just buy another one down the road. Thanks alot guys!
