my sidekick 2008 keeps randomly turning off and deleting everything...

i dare you to solve this for me





when i first got it
it would randomly flip out and go to reboot mode and when i tried to press the reboot button it would just go right back to the screen so i had no choice but to take out the battery for a few seconds and turning it back on
problem is, when i did that, all my contacts and texts would get deleted, and my settings (ringtone settings, background, theme, etc) so i'd have to set everything back to how it was, and wait for my contacts to be restored. my texts would sometimes get restored but they would be texts that were a couple weeks old, never the ones that were in my inbox when they got deleted.




alright.
i got a new battery because that phone stopped working all together, so they sent me a new phone and a new battery.
it stopped doing the reboot thing, so i think it was the battery that time.
but today it did it again. but it didn't even go to reboot. it just shut off all together.
nothing is coming back this time. my contacts and everything else is gone.
i've tried taking out the battery for a good 5 mins and putting it back in. i've tried having it off the charger, having it on the charger, having it on, having it off, holding "w" and rebooting it manually, taking out the SIM card and putting it back in, taking out the memory card and putting it back in........ Do you find this valuable?
