[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 Dead / Not powering on

I was in a conference call last night. At some point during the call, my phone froze. Touchscreen stopped working. So I waited for the cal to finish (some 30 mins) and after that I did a hard reboot reboot by pressing the power button and holding it down.

After like 5-8 seconds, phone switched off and never came back on. It justs didn't turn on. The screen doesn't even light up. No logo, no startup nothing - as if like there is no battery in the phone. The steps I tried:

1. Take out the battery, SIM Card, SD Card and try again after 2 mins.
2. Remove Battery and hold the power button down for a mins - for any internal power to drain, put battery back on and try
3. Try going to Download Mode
4. Try going to Recovery
5. Charging the phone - the screen doesn't light up, no activity, vibration,
6. Plug in the USB cable and hope for computer to detect it - no go.

I am on a business trip to US and completely dead in water without a phone. I dont want to spend money on a new phone and I haven't been able to locate any service station nearby. Doubt there is a culture like that in US about that.

I am not sure if the phone is bricked. Why will it get bricked, I was just using the phone - not flashing or something else. I also doubt any internal board got damaged as phone didn't fall down from anywhere, it was on bed all the time (connected to my bluetooth headset). Pls suggest me what I can do. I need some solution! Thanks !
