So one fine day, my desire Z decided to die on me.
The battery was about 10% when I had to turn off my phone. But it never turned on again.
I thought it might be a dead battery , so i charged it 4 to 5 hours, but it did not show any charging LED indication. After 4 to 5 hours of "supposed" charging, when I powered my phone on , instead of turning on it Flashed the Camera Flash LED. As long as i press the power button, the Flash LED is on. If I connect a charger now, the same thing happens.... Camera LED flash turns on.
I have tried using fresh batteries too, but same result.
Help ?

Hi,
last night my Desire ran out of juice, and when i woke up it was empty.
So this morning i turned it on, entered my PIN and immediatly plugged it.
When i came back later, it was not running anymore. The LED isn't green as usual, and i can't turn it on.
It charges for several hours now, and nothing happen. I tried pulling of the battery, nothing at all.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC7 (Android 2.3.2) for weeks without any problems.
tl;dr : phone not charging, no led at all. plz help.
Thx in advance for your answers !
EDIT : the phone rebooted without SIM and SD cards. Weird.
I just faced the same problem. I woke up to see the battery was compelety drained and the phone was off. I plug in the charger but the led doesn't turn on. How did you resolve this? How did you manage to reboot the device?
In my case, the phone was on with the charger plugged in but battery icon is red and empty. I reboot and clear battery stat in clockworkmod, reboot and all's well again...
Resolved
Well, in my case I had drained the battery completely. The phone neither would turn on nor would charge after the battery was drained overnight. I checked that there was about 3V in all cells of the battery.
In such case, pull out the battery and plug in your charger and you can see the led flash in all colors. This will make sure that the problem is with the drained battery and not the phone. Leave the charger plugged in for about 10-15 mins without the battery. Then put the battery back on and charge your phone, it should start charging and you will be able to see the red led. Now, let it charge till till your battery is fully charged.
i also have the problem that the phone want charge
when i insert the charger (with removed battery) sometimes the led starts flashing and sometimes it does not
at the first time i tried your method and waited for about 10 minutes
at next i inserted the battery but the phone didnt start to charge and now the led want start flashing when i connect it to the charger
ME Too1!!!!

This morning had same problem myself. HTC Desire plugged into mains charger overnight, but this morning discovered hadn't actually been charging and battery low although phone working. Now battery drained and cant get charging led to flash whether plugged into mains charger or PC via USB. Tried different USB leads and temporary battery removal as well as charging withour batter. LED resolutely dead
As per sod's law, phone out of warranty a few months back.
Help!
Yesterday when i plugged my phone in to charge, the battery icon turned into a question mark and the led started blinking orange and green. I tried pulling the battery out and rebooting the phone and the battery went back to normal but the led kept blinking. I left it to charge overnight and now I cannot get the phone to turn on at all. I have tried pulling the battery, holding the power button, plugging it in, nothing works. It will not turn on. I am on skyraider zeus if that helps at all.

The blinking LED of orange and green means the battery is overheating.
Try a new battery, battery is possible dead?
What kernel are you running? Stock clock speed and voltage? I would also recommend trying a new battery before anything else.
Sounds like your battery is overheating. Well actually sounds like you overheated it to death. It definately isn't a hardware problem though. Ive done this a couple times. Last summer while waiting for Revolutionary to come out I burned allot of time on Netflix with my phone plugged in, one week later fried battery. Just bring the battery in and they can tell you if it's dead or not

Just bought an One X, and am really excited for the phone.
As usual for my new phone, I charged it overnight with the phone powered off. LED indicator showed red, and I went to bed.
This morning when I woke up, the LED is still red. I disconnected the power cable and powered up the phone. Upon boot up, the battery shows only 1% battery life. I reconnected to the power cable for another 20 mins before heading off to work. The battery went up to 7%?
Anyone experience the same problem? Is my phone faulty? Why can't it charged when it is powered off?
Do you install custom recovery ?? And not updated version of CWM may cause problems with charging... Can you turn om.the phone and charge it? If you does not have a working rom you can charge your phone while the splash screen "HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT".
Pd: you dont going to see any notification light. Just trust on it

today after waking up i saw my arc s was switched off some how .i tried to turn it on by pressing power button it didn't ,then i pulled out the battery
and put it in again, then tried to power it on which didn't happen..then i put my phone on charge the red led started to blink (once in 2-3 seconds).
i searched the forum for possible problems then found a drained battery could be a reason,but just before 3 hours i had checked my battery and it was on 98%. so it was not possible that the battery could have drained without doing anything in just 3 hours . still i left the phone on charge for 3-4 hours nothing happened.the light still kept blinking.. then i pulled out the battery and put the phone on charge and the led was still blinking.
Is it normal for the red LED to blink when the phone is put on charge even without a battery??
any body has any idea what happened to the phone?
it was running LUPUS 16 and ULTIMATE HD 5.
Please help me figure out this situation

The blinks typically indicate a faulty battery. Sometimes it can continuously blink which can be fixed by re-plugging the battery. If the battery measures >3.5V under load then the blinks indicate eMMC chip fault - more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/nexus-7-2013-qa/fix-nexus-7-2013-bricked-stuck-t3310608
As you can see there is no simple answer but there is 90% chance that it is the battery fault - just measure it with a voltmeter.
Incidentally, re your broken USB port, try to squeeze it, and it may start working again.
