Soft reset by removing the battery, wait 20 seconds and reinsert.

If this does not solve the problem...
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery to turn off your Merge.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

If none of this works, get a new phone, hopefully you have the insurance.

PLease do a hard reset on the phone and here is how you do it .

1. Turn the phone off. If it's frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.

How do i bring up the root or boot screen

For most HTC devices simply hold the power and the down volume buttons until the device resets and then continue to hold those two keys until the device power cycles and loads into the bootloader.

My screen went out on my HTC Vivid, I already have a new phone but I would really like to get all the pictures and music off my old phone. Is there any way to access this from my computer? I didnt have an...

yes, but only if you've installed recovry into your phone.

if you did installed recovery, then pull off your battery press power+volume down button for about 5 seconds and then wait 10 seconds then after press volume down for 2 times.

connect your phone to computer

then wait for 10 seconds and press power up button for 1 time.

now press power up button for 3 times.

and then power up for around 5-7 times until you get prompt in your computer that you've connected mass storage.

if you just want to do this simply even without having recovery try to connect phone and then slide down and press exact area where you get "Connect USB" on your phone.

keep guessing till you succeed.
