cell phone wont stop charging

samsung. screen was black, with no activity available at all.
plugged it in to charge and now
it has a life of its own.
if i unplug it, it whines and shows an alert that it has been dewired.
if i plug it in it recharges all over again, shows it is charged, and does nothing.
sort of like an infant at the breast.

am i screwed?

Your battery is broken. Sounds like the protector circuit is gone, and causing it to show charged without it actually being charged.

A new battery should fix it.

Also, if you're going to keep it plugged in you should remove the battery, to make sure it doesn't explode.

No, really.

This. All of it. I've seen it quite a few times in the past when I was a (shudder) cellphone salesman.
