My Droid just died on me.

I bought it last Friday and it worked for exactly one week!  I was talking on the phone and as soon as I hung up, the screen stopped working!

The buttons light up but that's about it!  No noises, no vibration, just a blank screen!  There was plenty of charge left on it.  It's now 8pm and the Verizon store is closed and I don't have a land line at my house!  What am I supposed to do now?  I need someone to call me to see if I can receive calls or text messages.

Hi, my name is Mike. I like to help people, as you can tell just by looking around.

If you don't mind it, I can call you with no problemo.

Thanks Mike, is there a safe way to give my phone number out without having a bunch of people abuse it?

[supitsmike]

Well for starters,  you can send me a private message o.O

I had the same thing happen to mine.  I just pulled the battery and put back in.  Phone powered up just fine.

Thanks, I'll try that but do you think this could be caused by a factory defect?  I just made a call and it died, I wasn't using any apps that would cause an overload.

Pulling the battery out worked but I think I'll take it back.  This stuff shouldn't happen.
