Hello.  Someone gave me a Samsung ACH A670.  I found a little lever on
it, which turned out to be the battery release.  I released it for a
few seconds, then put the (fully charged) battery back in.  The phone
failed to power up.  I connected the charger.  The phone insists on
charging the battery, says the charging is completed, then doesn't
respond.  If I disconnect the charger, it says that there is no charger
attached, and turns off.  What is going on?  How can I fix this?


No idea, other than the phone OR battery is definitely a lemon.

Have you tried another battery and/or charger, just to see what happens?


Also, does hte phone store phone numbers and images in flash memory
(non-volatile) or some form of volatile memory?  (ie.  Did I loose the
data in the phone when I removed the battery?)

Nearly all phones (except PDA phones, but even that is starting to change) store contact information in nonvolatile memory.
