Brand New Galaxy Nexus Wont Turn On

Hi Guys,
I got a brand new Galaxy Nexus, plugged the battery and tried to turn it on but it would not start. I connected the charger and got nothing either, nothing on the screen and no battery charge indicator.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Got it to work by inserting the USB cable, then slowly putting the battery in.

If this phone is really "brand new" and this problem continues. I would strongly suggest you return it to where you bought it from as this may be a hardware defect.

I had a similar problem when I first received my Galaxy Nexus. The solution was to take the battery back out and wait 30 seconds. After putting the battery back in, it turned on without a problem.

I too experienced this with my play store nexus. After it wouldnt boot up for the first time, i figured it shipped with a dead battery. So i plugged in the usb charger and nothing happened, no charging icon or anything. I left it on the wall charger for 45 minutes even though nothing appeared on screen. I tried booting up again and still nothing. I pulled the battery and let it sit for ten minutes, plus i inserted the sim for the first time an voila, it finally booted. I dont know why the hell it did that but it sure did scare the **** out of me! I havnt had any issues since. *knocks on wood*

Note 8 completely died

I am hoping someone may be able to help me here. My Galaxy Note has been working perfectly for me without issue since I have gotten. Yesterday I charged it to 100%, and took it off the charger as I didn't need to charge it anymore, and wasn't planning on using it until today. Well today I go to turn it on, and I get nothing. No lights, no screen flashes, no sounds. When I plug it into the charger I get nothing as well. I have tried to remove the battery, and put it back and that doesn't work. I've tried all the different power and volume/home combinations I can think of but nothing has worked. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this, or any advice of what the problem may even be.

Try to plug in for 15 minutes and see what happens.
I got a scare with no way to turn it on, but once I plugged it with external battery for few minutes and it came back up charging.

I've tried with the stock Samsung charger and I've gotten nothing. I've been charging it since this morning.

If you have something to read DC than could pull the battery again and see if it has a charge. Just my first thought.

Have you tried a new charger or cable? Both may be defective.

Description of your problem is just too general for troubleshooting. How did you get the tab? Used? Has it ever worked? How far do you get when you try to boot it up?

Could be your power button is faulty. If it's plugged in and charging does pressing it light the screen up? If it seems to work could be an issue with charging.

i only get as far as i can plug in the charger and it seems to charge but thats it.

Sounds like the system is functional, except the power switch strip might be dead. Get a used one on Ebay for $10. Beats getting a new tablet. I have something like that but without the microphone. You can use it to test but would need a replacement if you need the microphone.

Phone won't charge, also I think it tries to turn on by itself

Hello!
My phone suddenly stopped charging... and now it is dead... now... like every 3 or 5 minutes, it vibrates by itself, even if unplugged... Anyone heard of this issue?
More info in my last post:
I'm unlocked, rooted, xposed, installed Beanstalk ROM, etc... But I did that months ago (I don't know, 6 months ago?) and it has been working flaglessly, I didnt do ANY change prior to this problem (really, no changes, not even a new appp installed or removed in months)
So I really think it is something in the usb charger.... Maybe I'm wrong and it got bricked somehow... please validate that.
Also, it still vibrating at least once every five minutes. (I woke up all night with it vibrating and now it is on my desk and it still does it)
I just tried an adb wait-for-devices and nothing happens, also tried to reboot it the same way and nothing happens.
Now, I remember that I did something before the phone turned off (battery ran off) I deactivated an Xposed module (latalysm or somethign like that) and didn't reboot it to complete the deactivation. Maybe it has something to do with 0% battery and that?
I really don't think so... But your advice is really welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Did you rooted or unlocked?

You are bricked .
Check unbricking threads...

New data:
When I pluggin the phone to the PC, the PC plays the "hardware detection sound" but then it disconnects too. Maybe it has something to do with the battery or something related?
Thank you in advance, phone is still dead.

Well... my phone is now even more dead... I think the problem is the battery, even if I try to charge it doesn't even get warm, I replaced the usb piece of the phone expecting that it was something with that but no... Now I'm waiting to get a replacement battery.
Anyone heard of the same issue? I've found many people having the same issue, but most of them solved the problem unplugging the battery and then plugging it back again.
Please help!
Regards.

I have exactly the same problem. It's like the phone is not charging at all. Have you tried taking the battery out and then in?
Small update: I've tried 4 different chargers and god knows how many different cables, tried connecting it to the PC, nothing seems to help.

Yes I tried that 2 months ago... But yesterday... I arrived home and tried to charge again, waited about 2 hours, turned it in and pop... I have the phone again (I keep losing phone and data signal, but... come on, it is on now)... So I don't know... I heard many times that pluging in and off the battery and "waiting" seemed to work for a lot of people, but come on... 2 months?
Regards.

Wow... so the problem is not the battery... then it is really weird, how can just "waiting" be the solution?
Hugo, how long have you been with your phone turned off?

One month, the time to receive the new battery

That is a lot... I waited 2 months... sorry I don't know anything about the matter... but don't lose faith, maybe it will turn on again someday.... Advice, charge it and leave it charging for... a week? then try again.

I've decided to fiddle with a needle inside the USB charging port recently. After that my phone suddenly was recognised by the computer and started charging and working. After I connect it to the real charger, doesn't matter if it's original or not, it stops working and doesn't even charge from the PC. Then I have to fiddle inside the charging port and everything works again... wtf really? what can be dead?

This seems like a different problem than ours... maybe you should try replacing the usb charging port.

I'm not so sure... It sound's more like I'm either grounding some contacts or I'm somehow short circuiting something. Maybe it could be a broken capacitor or something? That would explain why your phone started working after 2 month.
Well in any case it would be interesting íf somebody with that issue would try touching the contacts in the USB port with metal needle and connect the phone to the PC.
I've ordered a new USB thingy already and going to swap it soon, I'll keep you updated.

I have try to change the battery and the usb port. The battery work one time but won't charge. Can't say if it is the same issue or because is is a cheap battery
Any news NiKiToS?

SM-P605 cannot charge

Greetings, I have a bit of an issue with my tablet and it's most likely a hardware one.
About two days ago I had my tablet completely discharged and I put it on the charger. I saw the battery and lightning screen and left it for about a day.
Then yesterday I wanted to watch a movie on it and so I reached for it and all it had was a black screen. I thought that it must have charged up completely, so I pulled it out of the charger and started it up.
It then went as far as the Samsung logo and 20-30 seconds afterwards it shut down. I thought that maybe my ROM became faulty or smth and tried to boot into TWRP. Same thing.
Booting into the Bootloader worked but at one point the screen started rapidly changing its brightness. And it again turned off after a couple of seconds.
I tried this several times, connecting it to the wall charger or my laptop but every time it turned on for only a couple of seconds and now it has completely died off. No matter with which cable, charger or power source I try to charge it, it doesn't light up at all. Power button and combinations with volume buttons don't do anything.
A bit of info about the device: It's about 2 years old running the latest LineageOS. Roughly 1 year ago it suffered a drop and the screen got cracked. I ended up buying a spare screen from China and gave it to a hardware specialist to install it. (Samsung doesn't really have representatives near me, so that was the easiest option) Ever since then the speakers have always been a lot quieter and worse-quality but everything else worked fine.
I believe that somehow the charging circuit fried itself and now the battery has died off. Is that even possible? I haven't charged it with any unknown wall chargers or anything that could fry it. Can someone please help me fix this problem since I have no idea where to start?
Thanks in advance...

You might want take a look to this topic of mine. Not exactly the same problem but the resolution might apply to yours as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but your tablet can at least boot. Mine can't, which is the issue and it doesn't charge at all when off.

That's why I pointed you to open it and resettle all the cables, as I did. The problem is different but the solution might be the same...
