A friend of mine has an LG VX6000. He was uploading a ringtone from his computer through a link cable, and got a call. He unplugged the cable while it was still uploading, and took the call. He noticed afterwards that his ringers were skipping, and turned the phone off then back on. Now, it's frozen on the Verizon splash screen. It can only be turned off by popping the battery, and while off, if the power button is pressed briefly, but no tlong enough to power it on, a ghosted image of the splash screen appears without the backlight. It will turn on, but freeze at the splash screen.

I tried shorting out the battery contacts to drain any capacitors, but nothing happened and the problem remains the same. Is there any way to save the phone?
