Not if your battery is completely waste it. Check if your battery pins in your dash make full contact with your battery, because that can cause a problem (very odd, but it happens). If not, try another battery.
Have you checked your charger, I guess is damaged because if your battery is damaged or if is no battery at all and you connect the charger the led will turn red.
sam happened w me, no solution yet
hate to tell you that you might have bricked your phone,
the same happened to my excalibur, when i tried to flash it -mistakenly- with the wrong rom,
thing is; the rom is controlling the power charging process and the battery support to the device, if something went wrong with the rom for any reason; then no instructions are sent to the battery neither the charger, therefore: no power sign of any in the device.
i couldn't find an answer to fix my dash, but i think the solution is either changing the rom or JTAG-ing it might solve the problem, though i have no tools neither knowledge to do so.
sorry pal, the bright side is: you are a member of (BDC) the Bricked Dash Club
cheers

With the information provided it hasn't been your same case due that he hasn´t flashed any other rom, so basically he can try another battery and see what happens.
errrrrr
New Battery - Still no lights and using the reset features found in the unbricking tutorial do not work.
Tried using a cable from my comp to give power to phone so it isnt power cable
So what now? I cant even get to a bootloader screen or anything.... I cant afford a new phone ERRR
**Update-
Was plugging in the USB cable and looks like it gets a connection only when it is plugged in a little but this not just at the end that connects to the phone (it happened when the phone was already plugged into the cable and I was plugging it into the comp and vice versa) Um so that is strange - the light does not stay on and when the battery is in the phone I do not get that quick red flash - so it still doesnt work and cant do anything

Maybe is your USB port causing the problem.
So i've looked around and no one that i've seen has the same exact problem as i do. Here's my post in another forums about my problem.
Here's my story about my Galaxy s2 for T-mobile. My phone randomly turned off 2 days and whenever i tried to turn it on, it would restart and basically never get pass the blue loading bar screen. Second, i found out about this boot loop sequence and i was able to do a factory wipe.
After i factory wiped the data etc off the phone, i was able to use it until it ran out of battery, but then after i found out it ran out of battery, it wouldn't let me turn it back on, it wouldn't get pass the loading screen, once again. On the other hand, i am able to go to recovery mode or download mode, but the phone shuts off before i can even try and click on the options i want.
Today, i found out that if i kept pressing power button consecutively on the phone, I'd be able to go to my home screen and basically act as if nothing ever happened, it'd function as a new phone! I then had the nerves of turning off my phone just to make sure it finally works now, but my hopes were crushed and now the pressing the power trick does not even work anymore. It would probably work one out of 10-15 times, and in the end it'd still restart. I am using a gingerbread galaxy s2. My friend tried using the usb jib on my phone, and it worked but whenever he tried to plug in the usb, the phone would just restart. I am extremely frustrated with this, and if you can help, please do so because it's important that i fix this phone. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Hi there, thank you for the welcoming me to the forums. No, my phone is not rooted, it has always been gingerbread etc i never tried rooting because i never knew how:/ I believe this started when i was just browsing around facebook, so i'm not entirely sure what happened... Uhmm i tried going to download mode through the volume keys and power button when it's connected to usb to the i think it's odin3? and it'd be in the download mode but as soon as the computer says it's connected, the phone would just turn off again and bam, it's like nothing ever happened. My phone does charge when it's plugged in, but it doesn't show it's being charged but i remember my battery was dead last night and i charged it till today and now it's got power. ANd no i don't have a warranty:/ i really hope you can help me
Sounds like a faulty power button. Check out Mobiletech video for thier power button repair service.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It is had some water damage in the past (making it near impossible to get repaired under warranty) and that has caused it to act funny. Funny = Powering off at random times and rebooting itself/causing the buttons to act silly. Recently it did the thing where it powered off and now it won't come back on. I know the power button still works and it is charging because when I plug it in the charging symbol pops up when I press the power button. However it won't power on. I plug it in to my laptop and it charges but my laptop does not recognize it is plugged in. Is there any sort of program I can download that will allow me to get into my phone or anything I can do? Also I have tried the Power and Volume buttons to try and power it into Bootloader mode but that does not work either. Neither does pulling the battery or putting a different battery in or using a different charger.
Isnt it clear it is dead? Electric stuff+water=death. (Physics 101)

So your galaxy nexus turned into a Nexus 4? Or is there another reason you're in this forum?
Rude
Why are you people so mean? I am looking for help, really just a program that would allow me to plug my dead phone into the computer (since it indicates it is charging) and allows me to get files off of it. That would be nice.
Help

Hey man,
I'm not sure if your gnex is salvageable, but if when you plug it into your laptop it indicates charging perhaps you may be able to get to your data. First question...do you have usb debugging enabled in settings? We have to get your laptop to recognize the phone as a drive,then try to grab the files. Tell me more about what happens when you connect it. We aren't all mean, some here just forget how it was when they had nothing but questions and no answers. Most in the forums are very helpful, regardless of experience level.

Thanks for your civil post, I will try my best to inform you more on what my phone is doing.
When I plug it into the laptop it does indicate it is charging but that is the only sign of life I can get out of it. After reading a little bit more on the issue I figure might be the power button that is the issue since it is running JellyBean. One solution that I have tried that has yielded interesting results is plugging the phone into the laptop via USB without the battery in the phone. My computer then makes the "beeping" sound like it is connecting to it and then "beeps" again like it can't connect.
I can't post a link but if you google katzz ifixit then you can go to the website I went to that described the issue and gave the solution I just described. Katzz is the name of the user who posted the solution.
I'm pretty sure I have USB debugging enabled in the settings because before my phone stopped responding I plugged it into the computer a lot to transfer files.
Is there any sort of program that would allow me to turn on my phone from my computer even though I can't seem to get my computer to recognize my phone?
Hello all, I am in need of some help. I recently bought a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) and haven't had a chance to get service on it until what would've been today. This is the reason why I can't:
last night I had it connected to my PC doing some data transfers and things, until my PC said it was disconnected. I wasn't all too worried about it because I was done and was actually ready to unplug it. Before I reached for the phone, it started to vibrate in a weird pattern. I grabbed it almost as soon as it had finished vibrating, and then to my realization it, it wouldn't turn on.
Here's what I've done since then:
1. I immediately tried to turn it on
2. I plugged it back up to my PC, no connection
3. I plugged it up to the ASUS AC Charger and let it charge to see if it would come on that way (Nothing, didn't start up, no LED Light, nada)
4. Left it charging overnight
5. Tried to turn it on this morning, nothing.
6. Waited a few hours after unplugging from AC charger and still nothing.
Please help me :crying: What should I do?
Long-press power button for 5 seconds and wait for 2x vibrations?
I imagine you did that, but I figured I'd ask how you're trying to turn it on.
Does it give any response at all? Holding the power button?
Recommend to test with a different USB cable or adapter.
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

Same here, the thing was i charged it with an aukey backup batery.
nothing is working so i think it's dead
This happen to a lot zenfone 2 users
Apparently i got the same issue, when i connect to PC to do some transfer files, the phone suddenly dead (because sudden disconnect (happens a lot with loose USB port), cant turn on and cant charge, hard restart (recovery) also not working. Other phone works fine when suddenly disconnected, this only happen to ASUS Zenfone 2. And btw the phone and cables i use is original from ASUS.
Please fix this issue ASUS, this is very serious problem, seriously the phone is dead by doing sudden disconnect. Im not a tech so i dont know what is really happening, is it software or hardware problem.
I checked other forums, theres many report about this, fix it fast please.

hi, i have the same problem here, it really wont turn on. how's your phone? were you able to do something about it? im really worried. Thanks a lot.
If you are unable to power up after long charge, ensured cable is firmly connected, tested with different USB cable/or adapter, then it may require sending in for warranty service. If you would like warranty assistance and are located in the USA or Canada, please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected].

I also have the same issue.
Has someone been able to fix it? Is it a loose port, problem with the motherboard, or a problem with the battery itself?
I have the same issue... But my phone got wet before I had the issue. Has that happened to anyone else with the issue?

Hi guys, i had the same issue with my ASUS zenfone twice! The first time the repair center took a look at it, they saw a loose connection inside the unit, they just faastened it then it turned on. After 2 weeks, the same thing happened again, then i returned to the repair center. This time, they said that they found out that the battery software was corrupted (factory fault), they changed the battery software and they got the phone running again. It's been a week since I had my phone working and hopefully this issue will not happen again.
Guys!!! Try this, hold down power button until it reboot two or three times, to be exact until the reboot screen goes blue then let go the power button. yea, weirdly i did it that way and i got my phone working again
How much did it cost?
I had purchased 2 ZenFone 2, 1 for me and my wife on 5/11/2015.
Well my wife's Zen2 wouldn't turn on and it had a full charge 3 days ago.
I've tired a hard reset connected to a different usb cable and also charger, messed with it for 2 days and NADA it was DEAD......
She doesn't use the phone much maybe 1 gb of data for the month and under 100 mins and she hates to text..
But I did get the extended warranty from Newegg for $25 per phone and they will email you a gift card for the same price of what I paid for the phone.
As soon as the Tracking info hit UPS the gift card came in my email within 36 hours and I ordered her The ZenFone 2 Laser which should be here Tomorrow hopefully she will be happy with it.
Same problem here. I plugged my zenphone 2 on my pc to transfer files. It vibrate and turns off. Tried to replugged it to my pc but does not work. I also use different usb cable and adapter but still it wont open nor charge. Is there anyway my phone be restored? I've tried the hard reset but to no avail. Please help.

My asus zenfone 2 went completely dead a few days ago for some reason. The only sing i see is that after i plug it in, after about 10-20 seconds it will just vibrate once. But nothing else is happening. Doesnt respond to any power or volume button pressed.

HI guys. I need your help for my wife's S4 mini.
My wife was taking some photos (approx 40) and the battery was at 80%. She put the hpone in her pocket and when she took it out 30 min later to check the time, the phone was dead......
Power button didn't respond. took the battery out and back in, nothing. removed the sd card, nothing. removed the sim card, nothing. (checked the sim card in another phone and works ok)
when i charge it there is no battery image in the screen as described in the manual.
While charging, if i long press the power button there is a short vibration, but nothing more happens.
Connected the phone with my laptop. i got a msg that there was a software installation (like when you connect a new flash drive), but i can't "see" not even the sd card.
At this time, there is a vibration in the phone and sound from the laptop if i long press the power button of the phone or i remove the usb cable.
Any ideas guys?
i will take the phone to service centre, but i really need these photos today....
Thanks in advance guys....
Try another battery

If not battery it might just be your charger or usb cable. Try another. Allow some time for it to charge before switching on.
Sounds like it is getting some power from your PC but you won't be able to "see" anything unless you have the right drivers installed (probably what your "software" message was). (if drivers installed but nothing is happening reboot )
