To make a long story short, after i cracked my screen it was unusable for 2-3 months before I could get the screen repaired. After replacing the screen, I tried charging up my phone again. At first I just thought the charging was taking forever, and the led was a solid red light. After a while, I tried plugging it in again with a different cord, and the screen lights up (still no display, just a black screen with the backlight on) after the red light shows for a moment. The LED then shuts of, the screen seems to change brightness slightly a couple of times, the led comes back on orange this time, and then the screen shuts off again, while the orange led stays on.
The hardware buttons have no response whatsover, no matter what pattern in which or how long I press them. Now after having left it plugged in for a while, when I unplug it and replug it, the same results show as before, but now the LED is green in the end instead of orange. I know that the phone itself is failing to boot, because it is completely undetectable when plugged into my computer, even with pc companion, which leads me to believe that the new screen itself isn't faulty. After the initial cracking of the screen the LCD still displayed, it just wasn't registering touch, and it was detectable by my computer, so I know it was working them.
Is the phone, theoretically, able to boot without a battery as long as it's plugged in? If not, would this issue indicate a battery malfunction? I really hope to get this phone up and running again, I absolutely loved it for the short time that I had it.
