Question My Pre doesn't charge. . .

So, one morning I woke up and my Pre (overclocked to 1ghz) was fully charged after charging all night. So I disconnected it and went back to sleep. An HOUR after awaking, I pick up the Pre and the battery was at 6% without any signal! I was like ***!

I Connected the phone to the charger and restarted the phone completely. My battery died, and my phone just stayed on the BATTERY SCREEN aka stating it was charging. And. . . the worst thing ever happened . . . . . . It never CHARGED, it stayed on the BATTERY SCREEN for about an hour and then just turned off!

So. I thought DAMN. My phone FRIED! or something.
The battery was NEW, I tried my second battery, and same thing.
So leads me to think that it's the actual phone that's ****ed up.

Has this happened to anyone here?

Or what can the problem be?

Thanks for your time guys.

Sounds like you might need to visit the doctor.

did you try charging it on both a touchstone AND the usb cable? Also try the usb method from the wall adapter AND your PC. Also try a different cable. it's really doubtful that your Pre bricked while you were sleeping. More test are needed to identify which component isn't working.

Thanks guys. I'll try some of these advices when I get home. Funny, I never tried charging it other than off the wall.

Catch you guys later.
