I think I bricked my lumia 920 by locking it down as stolen!!

[tomgielen]

Today at school somebody stole my lumia, I didn't know who so I locked it down from windowsphone.com . Later that day I recived my phone back from my friend, it was a joke. But there was one big problem, my phone was turned off and I can't turn it on ever since. I've tried everything and a very desprate because I have my new Lumia for less than a week! Please is somebody out there who can help me???

Greetings,
Tom

Maybe reach out to your carrier and explain what happened?

Locking a phone doesn't switch it off or brick it !!


sent either from my Nokia Lumia 820 or HTC Desire HD

Is it possible that the battery is just dead?
If not, it's NOT reported as stolen to your carrier, It's only a lockdown of the OS (and possible wipe of your information if you chose that too). If charging it won't help, just bring it back to your carrier and see if they can't get it to boot up. Failing that, it's probably just faulty, and probably would have failed no matter what.

Put it on charger, if it doesn't turn on then try to soft reset it by pressing power + volume down

Thanks everybody, the soft reset did it for me! Love to everybody on this site!
