Last night I replaced the battery, but to no avail.

Is there a Nexus repairer here in Wellington?

Seems you are not alone, a lot of people are claiming fix's in the above link (?) .

Worth a try until an "official" fix comes out

You'd be lucky to get anyone in NZ to replace the mainboard with a working one, but you can try the "fix" posted before that disables the fast CPU cores and allows the phone to boot. Once its running, get all your data off and transfer to a new phone.

Yep, I think it is time to upgrade my phone :(
