Samsung galaxy S4 mini won't turn on - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone was doing just fine. I went to sleep and woke up to my phone dead. Thinking the battery is empty, i pluged it into the charger but nothing happened. Tried connecting it to the computer and it plays some weird sound(it is neither the pluged in sound nor the pluged out sound). When i hold the power button while the phone is connected to the computer, the computer plays the pluged in sound but as soon as i realise the button, it plays that weird sound again. Tried to pull my battery out and hold the power button for a minut then put the battery back in but still nothing. it's not giving me a single clue of being alive. Is my phone compeletly dead or is there something i can do?

Xperia ZL weird problem

Hi All,
I recently tried to fix my older sons xperia zl, The phone would not power on, it did not show any signs of life when plugged in to a computer. Tried all the different button combos and the off button at the back of unit but still nothing.
So I opened it up and checked each component visually, did not notice anything wrong.
I decides to see what would happen if I disconnected the battery and plugged it in to just usb to the computer.
Well it showed up in device manager as a SEMC flash device, and the red notification light came on. Then it started to try to turn on without me pushing the power button, the screen gets to the sony logo and then goes black and starts again.
The next thing I tried was to flash a new rom to it, under Flashtools it automatically goes in to flash mode, found my rom and hit flash and it completed the flash. Disconnected the usb , connected the battery but nothing no power and still nothing in device manager.
Another weird thing that happens is that while the battery is disconnected and i hold the vol+ a blue notification light turns on and the phones goes into fastboot mode.
I initially thought the battery was the problem so I ordered a new one and installed it but the same thing keeps happen, anytime the battery is connected the phones does not react to and buttons, even when the usb charging cable is also connected.
I am wondering if someone has a schematic or know of a capacitor, resistor or fuse that is stopping the phone from recognizing the battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plugged in audio jack in to Tab S 8.4 it shut down and now it's impossible to restart

What could have happened? I tried the Power Button + Volume Down + Home Button method and it still doesn't restart. Normally, I'd plug in a USB charging cable to "jump start" it so that it starts showing the charging level but this time, no dice.
edit: I manually changed the battery to a spare one i had laying around and now it works. audio jack ****ed up the old battery some how?

Phone just doesnt turn on

So I was at 3 percent and plugged the phone in the car charger. I just texted and the phone got stuck. Waited for it to start being normal again but it didnt. Suddenly it shut down, restarted and got stuck on the LG logo. I waited and waited and finally removed the charger and took out the battery. I then plugged the charger back in but the screen would just not light up. Tried holding the power and volume button key at the same time, but to no avail. Took the battery out and kept the power button pressed and then put the battery back in. Still wouldnt work. I then connected the phone to my laptop and pressed the volume up key to enter into download. Nothing.
What is wrong with my phone? The phone is just DEAD. It doesnt even light up showing that its charging when i put the plug in. What should I do?
The phone is rooted. Its on stock rom btw.

Please do some search and refer to the bootloop thread as there is no need to create new one. since there are many discussions on this topic already. Try freezer or baking method and see if you can at least get it to boot to have your data backed up.

HTC 10 Unresponsive & Can't Restart But Alive

I hope I'm posting this in the right place but I'm desperate for help.
My phone, HTC 10, froze and then the screen turned off while I was taking a picture.
The charge should have been around 80%.
Symptoms:
The screen is unresponsive.
Couldn't get the home button/finger print sensor to turn the screen on.
Couldn't get the power button to turn the screen on.
A call to my phone could not reach my number as well.
When plugged in to a wall charger or laptop no indicator light turns on.
When connected to a laptop, the laptop makes that connection noise and a long name with QualComm in it shows up.
Tried Power Button + Volume Up for 10 seconds but didn't get any result.
Side note:
The power button was a little faulty before as well.
You have to squeeze it a certain way to make it work.
I need to somehow restart my phone. Any ideas?

Try to clean all buttons really well, if it keeps failing to boot and the phone is still recognized as Qualcomm it's probably bricked.
Simple explanation of the word bricked :
When the phone doesn't boot, when you can't access the bootloader, download mode or recovery it's bricked!

Strange turn of events: I plugged the phone to my laptop because I read somewhere that it drains the battery. Just for the kicks, after a few hours, I unplugged and re-plugged my phone. Suddenly, there was light. The battery light came back. I immediately switched to the wall charger and once I did that the battery icon appeared showing 1%. Now, it's peacefully charging away. Will see if it actually turns on later on once it's charged about half an hour.

One Plus-3 Black Screen. No LED No Vibration. Hardbricked?

So I had kept my oneplus3 on charge at around 10:00 Pm yesterday and fell asleep. Woke up around 12:00pm to see it was fully charged so I unplugged the charger kept the phone beside me and went to sleep. Today when I woke up I saw that the phone has a black screen and is completely dead. The LED light is not on. Plugged into the charger no response. Tried holding power button ..nothing. No vibrations or home button lights
Currently, there is nothing going on with the phone. No flashes on screen no LED. Absolutely nothing. Tried connecting to laptop (windows 10) dont see anything. It was working perfectly fine last night and i had used it for nothing but music then.
Question is.. is the phone hard bricked or completley bricked? what might be the reason? I searched youtube only to find 1 person with similar problem who had said that he kept the phone for 48 hours and when it was completely discharged he pluged in charger again and it started working.
I am confused. Have a lot of work documents inside and what if it stays the same after 48 hours?
Appreciate any help on the matter
update: Tried plugging in the charger a few min ago. The led turns red and Vibrates. Nothing else
Update 2: so after 24 hours of setting the phone aside. i plugged the charger and it went into charging. But now am facing a new problem. My bootloader is unlocked and the power button is busted hence whenever I press volume down and plug-in the charger it takes me to bootloader warning screen from where either it goes into charge or i press volume key and it goes into option which I again cant select cause power button is busted. Tried holding down the power button and connect to laptop(windows 10) no device detected and it works like normal charging. Tried to charge for a few minutes unpluged charger and start again .. it was stuck on oneplus screen. Any ideas??
