It sounds like it might be in standby....Press the mute button on top. If not, then pull the battery out for a couple seconds and then put it back in.

Have you tried wiping it with JL_CMDER and then reloading OS

Let me just say first that this probably isn't gonna work but...this happened to me about a week ago. It may just be a coincedence but just before I was gonna wipe it I did the following. I tapped the battery contacts against the phone contacts a few time before securing the battery in place. Like I said, this probably was only a coincedence but the phone booted and have had no problem since. Good luck.
