Bricked itself..

I am so upset right now. I have a history of bad luck happening to me and today is another case of that. I have been saving up for a car recently and I finally got one today! That's all my money gone. I got home, went to use my phone and it's not working. It won't charge (although gets hot when plugged in), not LEDs, nothing. Every time I'm starting to get my life on track something like this happens. PLEASE say there is a fix to this! I have no warranty anymore. Help! :( I have tried pressing power and volume up as well as holding power for over 10 seconds. It's not connecting to the PC either so not only have I lost a phone I have lost a years worth of memories in pictures which I should have backed up but there are some really special memories on there and now they're gone. Anyway way of at least getting my data back????
