Phone won't turn on / No battery charging light, etc. Any ideas?

Hey everyone,
I searched and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. I turned on my phone, got to the lock screen and the lock screen was frozen. I tried for a little while and nothing was working so I pulled the battery. After putting the battery back in, my phone refuses to turn on. No boot screen or anything.
I've tried charging it with/without battery (no led indication that it's charging). I tried this method found on another phone's board: "Once battery is out, leave out for 15-30 mins, reinstall battery WITHOUT turning device on, plug in power supply, wait an additional 5-10 mins before turning back on." But nothing.
My ROM is SyndicateRom Frozen if it matters.
Let me know if you guys have any suggestions, otherwise I'll head to the sprint store today.

If it is the latest with 1.2 Vision kernel then your phone is bricked. You need to try and force it into download mode to Odin back to stock. There are several threads for people who have bricked phones. Search using Vision kernel bricked.
Do you BONSAI?

Thanks. I'll do that. I did have the 1.2 vision kernel.
Unfortunately, can't find a way to get into download mode. If I take it into Sprint, do you think they'll be able to tell I've been mucking with the kernel/custom roms or is it bricked enough that they'll just wipe / replace it?

No. Sprint will replace. Just tell them you turned it off to charge and it wouldn't come back on.
If you want to try and save it, pull the battery out, hold power button for 30 seconds, plug cable into computer, hold the 1 key on the keyboard and hold the power button to see if you can get into download mode. If so then you can follow the instructions in the sticky for How to fix a "bricked" epic/return to stock.
Do you BONSAI?

I would suggest leaving the battery out for about 20 mins.. then charging it for about an hour. then pull the battery hold power for about 30 secs stick the battery in and hold 1 and power. see if that gets you in DL mode. thats the pattern i had to follow to get repeatd DL modes from my VK brick for diagnosing the problem.

I already took it to Sprint and they've ordered me a replacement so I can't try that out. Hopefully your post will be useful to someone else with the same problem.
Thanks anyways

My Xperia Arc S doesn't want to turn on anymore

Hey
My phone stopped working.
A few weeks ago it suddenly didnt turn on anymore
The evening before i put it in charge coz it only had 6% left.
The next morning it didnt do anything
no led light, didnt turn on.
When i try to boot fastboot mode, the light doesnt turn on. when i put it in charger, the light doesnt turn on, my computer doesnt recognize it.
i tought lost case, its dead.
but this morning i tried to turn it on one time, it didnt work. i put it on my desk. i accidently wiped the phone off my desk, it turned on.
It showed Sony Ericsson logo, as im used to, the screen lights up very bright for a second, normaly the key lights and the led should turn on, that didnt happen.
then it went to a black screen, and turned off after a few seconds.
after that it didnt turn on anymore
Maybe the worst part: coz my father is going to buy an iPhone 5, he wants to give me his 4
is there anything i can do? I no longer have warranty.

Have you tried removing the battery, pressing power, then letting it charge for a couple of minutes, and then try to turn it on? Maybe it's really completely empty.

You had anything custom in there?
Did you use the original charger?
As I can understand, phone does not go into flashmode (while turned off, back button and connect USB cable) or fastboot mode (same thing but menu button)?

[Q] Device wont turn on after loosing all the battery

Hello. I am facing a serious problem. The device accidentaly lost all its battery when it was turned on and it turned off. I tried to charge it while it was off but it seems that it is not charging because of the unlocked bootloader (i unlocked it with freege. i think that the bootloader is mako geehrc). The result is that when I press the power button it shows the boot animated logo but then suddenly it shows the shut down animation logo and it turns off. :crying:
Also it turns on only when the charger is connected. Otherways, the power button does nothing. What I am going to do?

Happened for me few times on stock rom. Connected phone to charger and waited for a 10-15 min and it switched on.

Thanks for the response.

Something like that happened to me 2h ago.. the only change it's i can't even go into battery animation or boot animation.. even i can't enter recovery.. no led.. It's like dead.. more than 15m connected to charger.. nothing happened.. uwuU
Edit: I resolved it.. i don't know why.. at 3h trying to charge/boot it shows the LG logo so i could start up the phone as usual.. at 3% battery.. I won't ever let it shut down xwx

Same issue, I'm terrified of letting it drain completely, my fix is to connect the charger for a couple of minutes, remove it and then attempt to boot into bootloader mode, then into recovery and plug it again, once it has charged a couple of % in TWRP I reboot system and hopefully it will load the ROM as usual.
UPDATE:
I found a solution! Have your charger connected and nearby, while holding down; power and volume up connect your charger to your phone, it should enter fastboot, then just release all buttons and press power one time, it should boot normally.

[Q] ATT LG3 Won't Turn On Completely Unresponsive

I have an ATT LG G3 yesterday it the phone suddenly won't turn on. It was on with mostly full battery and now won't turn on and is competley unresponsive. When I plug it in, no charging light comes on. Additionally I tried the hard reset by holding down power and down volume key; this gave me nothing.
Thinking that it might be a battery problem, I left it plugged in all night. But still nothing.
Any ideas?

Had the same problem

I had the same problem and pulling the battery wasn't cutting it. This worked for me:
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone to the OEM LG Charger that came with the phone.
4. Let the phone charge for about 15 minutes then try to turn it on.
This worked for me but some phones are DOA being the phones are still in early production. It takes a few months before they work out all the Kinks.

I figured I'd add my two cents. I had the same issue with my D851 (T-Mobile) version. I was copying a file over my from computer and halfway through the phone shut off. I thought the screen timed out, but it wouldn't turn back on. I pulled the battery, tried holding the power button without the battery for 60 seconds, putting the battery back in, charging without the battery... nothing. The LED would never light, and the phone would never turn on. I contacted LG and it's currently on its way back to them for replacement.

I work for a wireless service provider and not only sell this phone but own one. I also had the problem and unfortunately the battery out power combo did not work for me either and swapping the battery was to no avail. I have seen one other DOA as well. I have noticed the new LG models have had some significant flaws and lemons when they've first come out but I feel the specs and price you get are worth the risk so if this does happen to you I wouldn't throw in the towel on LG quite yet. However the way LG reacts to this will speak volumes to the company's overall success in the industry.

what would happen if I tried returning my phone with root and another rom on it and it won't turn on?
I tried manually going to twrp but went to recovery instead, restarted phone and now it won't turn on. I've tried the suggestions in this thread to no avail.

Won't turn on
My LG G3 D855 first had this problem of restarting on its own when I play with its camera and while restarting, the phone is getting warmer. And now, it wont turn on. I press the power button while it is off, it tried to turn on until the LG logo screen and then it shuts down on its own and restarting non-stop until that LG logo screen and turning off again. When I plugged in a charger, it manages to turn on but only to the pass code part and then it turns off again and the battery charging screen when phone is turn off, is displayed. The battery showed was higher than the battery showed when during the pass code stage. Is it the battery problem? I haven't send the phone to be check yet, I hope its the battery..

Clearing phone
My won't turn on either. I filed an insurance claim and am getting a new one. But I have to send my old phone in. I was wondering how I can get all my info off of the old phone before I turn it in. I don't want some one to get my info that is on that phone. How do I clear it all with it not turning on. Is there a hard drive from the phone I can remove?

First put phone on charging and then turn it on after 10sec (dont remove from chargning ) when its completelty on ... then remove from charger ...

The plan: Put the phone into recovery and then push " power on".
The method: To get into recovery, push power and volume down together until you see "system recovery" ( it will take a while- maybe more than a minute) and touch "continue power up" by depressing the power key.

h! i have rooted my G3 and insatll TWRP it works .. but when i press volume down+power button it wont boot to recovery. ? i can easilt boot to recovery using ADB .. but how can i boot to recvery using power and voulme keys ..

http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root-tutorials/how-to-manually-boot-into-cwmtwrp-recovery-on-lg-g3/ Said better than I can. Be sure that you are firmly pressing both on the power and volume down keys, at the same time, don't give up- To be sure I have constant pressure, I take off the case. I do this each time I restart the phone.

Oh awesome. I was browsing the web having the same problem and this totally fixed it for me. Cheers!

LGG3 died and wont turn on?

So I've been using this LGG3 for several weeks now and I was on snap-chat. Suddenly the phone froze and the screen went black. Now the phone dosen't turn on. I tried to take it into download/recovery mode dosent work. I also tried to put it on charge but it dosen't turn on.

I'm having the same problem, except I was just doing a normal reboot of my phone from the power menu... no life after that. Not even an LED.
Only sign of life is when I put the phone on charge without the battery inserted the phone displays the empty battery charging icon with a question mark, but when I insert the battery the screen shuts off again.

Hi. I've found a solution to the problem. You've got a hardbrick. The only way to fix this is to use a JTAG. Now I don't know what JTAG is but this can be fixed using your computer, and taking apart your phone to access your motherboard, and shorting the motherboard using a wire. Any how, follow this guide. It took me a while but I got it working.
