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.

Fullbrick?

I got a Xperia S here from a friend, he says that the screen suddenly turned off when he was using it. But the notification bar was on!
So he gave me the phone, because I want to fix it.
If I plug in the charger, no reaction.
Soft-Reset - No Reaction.
Hard-Reset - No Reaction (No Vibrates)
Trying connect to fastboot mode / flash mode. No Success.
My last chance is to remove the battery for 5 min and then look if the battery will charge or not.
The bootloader is unlocked and there was OpenSEMC beta 2 installed.
Is this a Hardware bricked phone, or a software issue with empty battery?

this sounds like a softbrick, there are lots of threads on fixing such issues, i seem to remember 1 problem was switching off auto lighting and bang the screen goes blank, holding the power and vol up/down for about 15 seconds makes a hard reboot 3 vibes, then plug in via usb and restart with flash tool running might work. there are lots of different help threads that will guide you through this. dont give up.

But Hardreset doesn't work. I already tried it.

Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

Thank but I read already this thread.
I can't remove the battery right now, so I asked you guys if this issue is a Software issue or Hardware issue.
If I can remove battery I will test everything I can and then I'll report.

i think it's hardware issue. cause for it to be software issue it must at least show red led when plugged into the charger.
bring it to service center is a wise choice. but u can try different charger (with bigger amperage output is preferable), and what happen when u plugged it to PC? did the led color shows up?

If I connect to my PC nothing happens.
No Fastboot Mode no Flashmode possible.
I remove the battery the following days, cause I don't have a torx 6 to remove the screws. Must buy one.

Removed Battery and insert it back again. Now trying to charge but no reaction.

If you plug-in a Real charger(Not pc usb), what happen?
Sometimes when the battery is full empty, you have to keep it charges about 15-20 minytes without powering on

Put it in the real Charger, and charged 30 minutes.
But still no reaction. I guess it's a fullbricked Phone now.

[Q] Phone does not turn-on upon "Restart"

Good Day,
Phone:
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (ASUS_Z00AD) - 1.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage. (Not Rooted)
Kernel Version: 3.10.20-x86_64_moor_265182-gb0fff5c
Build Number: LRX21V.WW-ASUS-Z00A-2.13.40.13_20150401_8390_user
Problem:
My brother couldn't update an application in Google Play Store. He tried to restart the phone through Hold Power Button -> Restart but the phone does not turn-on anymore
Methods Tried:
1. Hold the power button around ten seconds. The phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
2. Hold the Volume Up + power button for ten seconds. The phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
3. Charge the phone using provided Asus charger and try to turn the phone on. Still, the phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
4. Tried charging the phone for around 30mins and the phone gets warm. Tried turning the phone on but still, same results.
Please help advise for solutions or possible fixes. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ed

Please ensure to use the bundled AC power adapter and micro-USB cable to charge your device. This model may not come equipped with 18w Boostmaster adapter and will require longer charge. Please see http://www.asus.com/us/support/Sear...5-480F-AADA-FE49EDD81C01/?keyword=boostmaster

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, the bundled AC power adapter and micro-USB cable is used for charging. The AC power adapter output is 5.2V and 1.35A. Also tried to charge the phone for a few hours but still, the same problem is encountered.

Does the LED indicator light up when charging? Have you tried charging while being connected to a PC? (this will take longer to charge)

Sorry for the late reply, sir. Many thanks for the prompt responses. As advised by my brother, he tried charging it again using the AC charger for more than two hours and turned the phone on. Good news that the phone booted properly.
It seems that the problem is really about a drained battery. This issue can now be closed.
Thank you very much.

Hi Sir, I have tried it. But it is still not going into recovery mode. And when to connecting to charger the dead android symbol is getting popped up and the mobile is heating heated without switching on.
:crying:

Hi Sir, yur reply is very much necessary as i am stuck with the dead symbol even after battery getting drained and recharged as well.

Hi Sir santhosh_kv,
My brother's phone couldn't be switched on before and we just sent the phone to the service center. After a month or two, they replaced the unit with a new one. I think my brother got a lemon unit before.
Thank you.

Maybe there's something wrong with the system. Try flash stock rom using adb sideload. While in that dead android symbol, press power+vol up to go to recovery.

Hi Sir, I have tried the procedure u said. But nothing seems to be working. Please help me with this. I have installed the ABD divers and updated it. But its not working after re-switching on.

After using the phone until the battery was completely drained, I tried to charge it. Initially the indicator showed orange (suggesting it was charging), but after attempting to turn the phone on, it vibrated once or twice and the indicator stopped glowing. The phone has since failed to turn on at all, and connecting the charger no longer shows any sign of charging (ie. no orange indicator or on-screen battery icon).
Has anyone eno****ered this issue, or know of a way to fix it? Let me know if I can provide any more information, and thanks

Friends,
My redmi note 5 pro was 50% battery and it suddenly turned off. After that when power connected no response. Connect via USB and Mi Logo appears first, then the battery icon with a flash symbol in middle. This repeats continuously. Some help, please ?
The phone is not rooted. Still in warranty period. No recent update. The last update was 1 month ago. No glitches after that.

Woh.. its been a long time, though I am still using the same phone. ?
Try a hard reset first, if it doesn't help run to the service center. Don't worry about your data, service technician can easily recover it.
Back then My phone came into contact with sweat moisture and it fried few chips on the mother board.
Fluid damage is not covered under warranty, yet they gave me 50% discount. ?
All the data was restored afterwards and the phone still working fine.?
Hope you will find a solution soon. ?

Hey, it might be a bit late but i found a solution: i charged my phone for a few hours in fastboot mode (volume down + power button). Then turn it off and on again.

I was also facing the similar issue yesterday. Actually my phone fell down while charging after that it's started behaving like that and I kept on charging for 2 hours and tried to switch to fastboot mode still no luck and after that I left the phone idle for sometime witout charging and I gently pressed all the edges of my phone and tried fastboot mode and it's started working.
I know the solution which I gave looks silly but it's worked for me
