Okay,
 
The few topics I found using the search engine do not comfort me at all...
But since the last topic I found about it was about 6 months old, maybe someone has found a solution to the problem in the past months...

I have a HTC Desire Z

Situation: I was downloading an app from the androidmarket, when the phone froze.. since that had happened before when I wanted to download something too big.. (I was planning to do a factory reset soon, because I had been downloading and deleting quite a few apps the past 10 months..)
So, like the other times that happened to me, I took out the battery, put it back in and pressed the power button. But instead of rebooting , (or showing a reboot-menu) it just vibrated shortly for 7 times and then.. nothing..... black screen and that's it... When I press the power button (or any other button) it stays inresponsive.

What can I do? Can my desired Desire be saved?

I'm having the exact same problem with my 8 month old Desire S. It started before Christmas updating apps from the market. The phone totally bricked whilst installing the updates. After removing the battery and rebooting, the phone couldn't boot past the HTC logo. Tried factory reset but no joy.
Sent it to HTC for repair and it worked fine afterwards for 1 day. They never described what they did to fix it but they charged me to replace the screen, ariel and battery hatch (which were all fine when I sent the phone away) and reinstalled the software with a newer version.

Yesterday, I was installing the game bouncy mouse from the market and it bricked again when installing. Now I'm getting the 7 vibrations on pressing the power button just like you. Can't get even a flicker from the screen. I'd love to know what's going on and if it's a common HTC fault.
If anyone can shed some light on this I would be delighted because I'm totally frustrated with this phone right now!!

I think this might be a common htc problem.
My Desire z stopped working the other day, after a reboot it wld show htc screen then go black and vibrate 7 times. Sent it back to htc and it is being fixed
