My htc inspire wont turn on, its flashing a orange light

Battery is dead, plug into the charger, the battery indicator turns orabge when the battery is almost totally dead.

That ussually means the battery is overheating! Take the battery out and wait 30 minute to put back in, but don't turn the phone on. Start charging it again, and if it continues to flash, take it to your provider IMEDIATLY!

Happens to me and I take the battery out and re-insert it and boot it up and it works again. I havent lost any memory. This happens for no reason. Very aggravating.

that seems like hardware error. please goto nearby service center.

When did this start?

The battery is completely dead, charge for about 1 hour; if flashing light continues then you need a new battery, I've just done this to my phone..

Was going through this article. It might help:

does the charge light stay on (orange led) on or does it go green or flash on-off orange?

could be battery issue..

on the charge slot on the bottom of p3300 there will be 2 bins left and right inside. try bending them slightly - ONLY slightly tho incase it snaps.
use a needle.
its wat im doing at the moment, im currenlty trying to figure this out so ill keep you informed if i find the soloution.
atm i have to have my phone on charge to use it, otherwise it just goes off but thats how im getting it to charge atm.

if im not in touch..

Okay take out battery and put phone on charger .. then try a hard reset . and then go to a soft reset. after that put battery back on and soft retset and see if it works .
