It sounds very much like you have 'bricked' your phone(? Did you notice you have not said what your equipment is, ie. MAKE;MODEL NUMBER. Yes I know it's an iPhone, just always good to state so!).
Unfortunately that is the risk you take altering the firmware, as always stated in the instructions, and on a brand new unit, you have now invalidated the warranty! Bear in mind when altering firmware all may seem to have gone okay until you use a certain function or address a certain part of memory then the system may crash. All may not be lost.
Firstly; you must make sure you have a FULLY CHARGED battery. Recharge yours in a WORKING unit! Ensure you have the CORRECT firmware and that it is not CORRUPT!
That can be done by checking it's hash number (if you don't know how to do this then STOP and find someone who does, a shop maybe) Read ALL the instructions and research on the net (Google) the issues involved in firmware updating. If you can communicate with it via the programming software\lead then reload the ORIGINAL firmware back into it! I trust you kept a 'backup' of the original(Why were you 'updating' the firmware in a brand new peice of equipment?
How do you know you have a 'newer' COMPATIBLE, ORIGINAL firmware version? ) being brand new it should have been loaded with the latest firmware, if not you should returned it for the latest, newest version, after all that is what you are paying for. If your lucky you may be able to reload the original firmware (hope you have all the correct software to do this, using reliable equipment and a FULLY CHARGED BATTERY) I've capitalised the battery, it' is very important.
If the firmware reload fails take it to a repairer\agent who may be able to unbrick it, and remember it is THE most dangerous thing to do (updating 'firmware') If not, join the thousands of other 'brickers' send it to the recyclers, buy a replacement, and stay away from firmware programming.
I've known a few people who've had similar/exactly the same problem. Actually, I just did repairs on 2 Identical Gateway mx6447 models which are known to have that same issue. I thought it was funny because the customer has twin daughters and they not only had the exact same laptops, they also had the same problem at the same exact time!
1)when a DC Jack fails, it generally does so over time, like you said...there was a warning sign before it went, usually it works only in certain positions. This would normally be "good enough" but this constant "on/off" status causes voltage spikes and drops, possibly even "arcing" which might damage not only the motherboard but also additional components. 2)if you attempt a repair with the improper equipment ie: if you only have a store bought soldering iron, it may not be enough to complete the repair...besides the actual joints visible, there are "sandwich" joints in the motherboard itself, without appropriate care these joints will be damaged and there will not be a solid connection.
These repairs arent recommended to be attempted if you are unsure. In many cases it may result in motherboard replacement...besides the added difficulty of disassembly which if your not experianced in, may result in damage to other components of course. ...ok so what now?
Well there are a few different ways to fix this problem. Feel free to e-mail me or vice versa for more detailed information as to where to find a fix!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
