Default Phone won't turn on

I have had my Q now for around 6 months. I bought it used off of eBay, and all was good. Well, after a while, the phone wouldn't turn on. It would show the "Alltel Wireless" screen, and just shut off. I tried my aunt's battery in my phone, and it worked. So, I bought the extended battery and it worked. Now, just this morning I go to turn it on, and the same thing happened. It starts up after hitting the power button 20 times(not exactly, just thought of a number), shows the Alltel Wireless screen, and powers back down. Anybody have a remedy? And if not, how much does a new phone cost? I was looking at the LG Glimmer, and the retail price says $419.99. Since my contract isn't up, do I have to pay that full price?

i didnt see in your post that it wouldnt connect to the computer
you might have gotten lucky and even though it didnt completly turn on you could quickly explore the phone

Well, if it wouldn't turn on, how could it connect to the computer? Also, I took it to Alltel and he told me it would work all I needed to do was charge it(he did some weird shit to it)..well..it won't charge.
