Try plugging it into your charger first. Let it sit for a minute and see if the screen lights up. When the phone is powered off, a charging animation will display. If that doesnt happen, especially after pressing and holding the power button, you may have to request a replacement.

So last night in a drunken fit of flashing I flashed CWM Touch for a Nexus 7
It seemed to work, until i rebooted, the screen went black and that was it.
It is unresponsive to anything, no power button, nothing when you plug it in, just dead.
Is there any hope?
is bootloader/fastboot ok?

Nope, holding vup/down and power does nothing.
I don't even get the battery icon on the screen when plugged in.
I've tried every combo of buttons, plugged in/not plugged in, with or without battery.

Try OMAP Flash.
Gotta love those drunken flashes...
TY, TY, TY!!!!!!!!
That did it.
I didn't even notice that the PC saw it when I plugged it in without the battery.
I have sworn off the drunken flashing.
Hello!
I dropped my LGOG E975 and the screen has cracked. The upper half would still work. But i could not turn the phone off. So i let the battery run dry. When i came back from vacation, approx. a month after, i sent it in to change the screen. It got changed, but now it has another problem:
It wont turn on! At the store they said they could not get the phone to boot. I took it to a charger and while holding the volumebuttons it showed the LG logo for a second, then blinked red a couple of times. This happend twice. Now if i hold the power button for 15 seconds and plug it in, it will quickly blink a red light.
What to do? I suspect it's something with the software.
FIY i unlocket the bootloader, rooted and installed a recovery. Dont remember which one tho'.
Update:
I can now enter fastboot or download mode. But the phone wont be found by kdz. flashers.
Try to access recovery from the fastboot screen, pushing 2 times volume down then power.

The phone turn black, blink red once and thats it.
As a sidenote, i can only put it in fastboot or downloadmode after i hold the powerbutton a while before plugging it in. Else the red LED wont blink.
I have no idea then
Have you tried to put it in fastboot without plugging it in? Volume down + Power button when the phone is off.

No response from the phone. Can it be a batteryproblem since the red LED flashes shortly when plugged in and entering fastboot/download mode or trying to open the recovery?
Maybe. Leave it charging for a while and try again.
My father always lets his phone die out of battery and he leaves it off for a while like that. When trying to power it back on, or when plugging it to the charger, the led flashes just like you described. It's not an OG, but it may be something similar what's happening to you, since you said you left it for quite some time turned off.
Okay, i will try to leave it over night. It will sit in the charger for 6 hours before my next check.
Try to upgrade/recovery with LG support tool in download mode

It would still not turn on. Tried multiple chargers and leaving the phone in for a long time. I got a new battery on the way.
Sometimes it helps to hold the power button a bit longer.

I held the powerbutton down for multiple minutes. Still no response. I ordered a new battery from Ebay. Hoping this would fix the issue. The battery have a expected delivery this week. Will update the thread with the results.
Hope it works :good:

I tried everything. Really. Every possible combination of buttons, chargers and cables. The phone would only give a response when plugging it in. So i expect it to be a charging problem with the current battery.

what was the outcome with the new battery?
im an currently experiencing an issue that sounds much the same as this, difference is that i was using the teenybin software and the HS shutdown halfway through the update, and now will not do a thing other than blink the RED LED when i hold the power button down whilst pugged into charger
also to mention, the battery life on the HS prior to this was reasonable..
Just a couple days ago, my power button on my galaxy nexus started to act really weird. When i press it, the screen would shut off (as usual) and then a minute later, the screen would turn on again as if someone pressed it.
Later on, the power button started to have problems. The symptoms included not turning the screen off when needed and pressing really hard to shut off the screen.
And then this morning, the screen shut off and I pressed the power button again. Phone didn't turn on at all. So I took out my battery, plugged the phone with the USB cable into a power outlet, put my battery back in and tried turning it on. Instead of turning it on to the usual Google sign, it went to a white centered battery sign showing that it is being charged.
I tried turning on again, by pressing Power + Volume on the phone. No use. Tried again to take out battery, SIM card even, plugged the phone into a computer and plugged the battery back in. No use. I also left it charging and plugged out my cell/battery to let it rest for 4 hours. No use.
I bought this phone a month ago and it worked all fine until this week. Seriously missing this phone. What is wrong with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like the power button is broke.

Maybe an app recently installed. It can turn on the screen and turn off when the app want, and can freeze your phone. Check your latest installed applications and then tell us...

I accidentally spilled about a teaspoon or two of water onto the screen of the GS3. I guess water seeped between the screen causing the phone to power off. I took the battery out and let it dry for two days, but it's still not powering on. What happens when I insert the battery and hit the power button is that I get a vibration, the splash screen of the rom comes up and then the phone powers off.
Plugging the phone into a wall outlet or computer without the battery I get a vibration, the red LED light comes on for a second and then powers off. The computer won't recognize the phone. Is this phone toast?

Should have disassembled it and put the parts in a bowl/bag of rice.

Stop trying to power it on (it only makes things worse) and do what Aerowinder said, take it apart and let it sit in rice. After two days put it back together and see if there's any improvement. If the phone does the same thing after sitting in rice, you may want to try a different battery if you have one or can get a hold of one.

I have had it plugged in all night, and tried the following ;
Hold power for 1 minute
Hold power and volume up for one minute
Hold power and volume down for one minute
Hold all 3 buttons for one minute
None of these worked.
I have plugged it into a PC but there is no connection.
Is there anything else I can do?
*EDIT* Fixed it! https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83649851&postcount=7
Its dead phone. What do you want some magic to turn it on? If it dosnt want to turn it on its dead phone and you cant do anything about it.
You might be right, but in the 20 years of owning mobile phones I have never had one that simply "died" before. I've ordered a new charge port as I think it might be to blame.

Pressing pwr + volume down or volume up won't turn on device.
You're not saying if device can enter to recovery nor fastboot or If your device is unlocked or not or if you have some screen as the logo or if you have some vibration, some led blinking, or if you let it charging with screen on (it must be screen burning) or if device was off while charging...
The phone has no sign of life. No led, no screen on. Nothing.

Well, there is not much you can do here, it could be a damage at the hardware level, probably in the port charger or at emmc/motherboard.
Also the overcharging or the kernel panic produced for some overheating can make that device won't boot.
The only you should try at software level is this https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html
I fixed it! After replacing the charging port it still didn't work.
However I read somewhere that disconnecting then reconnecting the battery connector inside the phone would work so I tried that and it worked.
Phone back working fully.
