Yup. A coworker actually had one, charged the battery and it didn't work. Two batteries charged from a different phone wouldn't power the thing up. So I got midevil on it's ass. I ripped the back cover off, took the charger and cut open the wires from it, and "hotwired" the charger right to the battery contacts on the phone (which is two out of the four). The phone powered up (WE ARE SAVED!) and then started spewing out messages about getting a "genuine" battery (WE ARE F**KED!).
Sorry Honey, the phone has gone to The Great Beyond and took all of it's information with it. At least I could keep the USB header that fell off as a trophy. Maybe I'll mount the damn thing (in a hunter killing it's pray kind of way)
