This morning, I turned my phone on and it was working just fine. I put it on its charger and left it alone for about 30 minutes. When I came back, my phone seems to be dead. So far, I have tried:
Holding the power button for at least 1 minute
Holding the volume down and power button for at least one minute
Holding the volume up and power button for at least one minute
Holding both volume down and up and the power button for two minutes
All this was done while the phone was hooked up to a charger. So far, there is no activity at all. The screen doesn't turn on and I cannot connect the phone to my computer. Does anyone have any advice for this situation?
Update: There is a bad burning smell coming from the charging port and the charger, I think my phone is done for.
That doesn't sound good hoss. Might wanna try warranty?

I did a soft shutdown and now it won't turn on. No response to Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power. Nothing but black. Its connected to power and was at 80% when I shutdown. USB debugging was enabled. Any hints? Thanks, -RP

Ugh, I had to hold power button for 30 seconds. Its really excessive. Delete this please. Thanks.
funny thing is the old nexus 7 had the same issues
I received mine today and it wouldn't turn on at all. All I got was a flashing white light after holding the button to turn it on so knowing that the same thing was common on the previous generation N7 I tried the 30 second trick with no success so I figured I'd share my experience.
Turns out my battery was at 0% out of the box. It was so dead I had to do the following to actually get it to start charging unfortunately:
1. Open it, I followed the guide @ ifixit: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/1
Note: The plastic bezel surrounding the screen is incredibly soft plastic I just learned. Even using plastic pry tools I ended up leaving marks the plastic, despite being extremely careful.
2. Disconnect the battery (follow the guide above)
3. Press the power button and hold down for 10 seconds, but don't release yet.
4. Using the supplied AC adapter, apply the power and continue holding for another 10 seconds.
5. Reconnect the battery while the AC adapter is plugged inThis should get you to the point where you at least see the battery charge icon on the LCD. I waited another 30 minutes before moving on and powering the device on. I intend to leave it charging to 100% before I do anything else with it.
I remember on some older devices I've had when they got into 0% state, they didn't want to take a charge from a high power charger and I needed to switch to 500ma USB 1.1/2.0 slot on PC and let it sit a while before it would trickle in enough charge to get some life.
After that it would take charge from any source again.

lol - this happened to me too. Except double whammy - as soon as it was charged enough to turn on, it wanted to do the system update and wasn't charged enough to do that. Back to the USB it went!
Well I got my replacement for the one with the dead pixels, it started up fine and I even configured just to check it had no dead pixels. I had to step away for a few minutes and it was off, completely dead. Tried ever variation of tricks and I get nothing, no white LED, no charge indicator, nothing.
I think I'm sending both the replacement and the original back for a refund, this is just unacceptable at this point.
I bought one but returned it after 3-4 days. Mine was fully powered and I would go through the shutdown procedure. The device would power off. Then I tried to turn it back on. It would not work. I held it down for several variations of time: pushed it quickly, help the power button in for 10 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec... I found that when I connected the device to power through the usb the screen would show 100% charge right away. I would then hit the power button and it would turn on fine. I immediately unplugged the device and everything was fine. i powered it down again and repeated this process 2-3 more times before I said the heck with it. Anyone else know of this issue or did I just have some crazy unit?
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 have the LTE version of the G Pad 8.3. I have TWRP and an unofficial CM11 on it. I left it on long enough for the battery to be drained and now it won't turn on at all. I have plugged it into the charger for over an hour. The power button does nothing, holding Vol - and Power does nothing. I am at a loss. Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm experiencing the same issue, although I had twrp and a stock rom. It ran just fine until I let the battery run out.
I have tried power + vol down with no results. I have left it on the charger for several hours as well.
Thanks in advance for any help...
I have shipped mine back to LG for repairs. I will let you know how it goes.
How did the repairs go?

This worked for my VK810... my tablet was unresponsive "dead"
1. Hold the power button and the volume up/volume down button (directly in the middle/center of the volume +/-.... So right between the two! Not one or the other, middle so both!) for 20 seconds...
2. Keep holding the middle of volume+/- and power button and plug tablet into usb wall charger.
3. Release both buttons.
Hope this helps!

Oh, this actually works.
This happened to mine a few years ago, but no button combo would power it up and it would not pull any current when trying to charge it.
I think it drained the battery beyond what the internal protection circuit would allow. I had to open it up, de-solder the battery and force-feed it a 4v for a couple minutes.
Soldered it back together and it started charging normally and booted fine. I've had similar problems with other cheap LiPo powered devices; charger packs, Bluetooth audio modules, etc...
I have an HTC One M8 AT&T unlocked, rooted, ARHD 34 installed.
The other day I used the phone until about 9 AM and when I pulled it out of my pocket the very next time there was no response. I tried Volume Up + Power, Volume Down + Power, and Volume UP +Volume Down + Power no response. Tried all three again with power cord attached and still nothing. finally after about the 20th try with power attached I got a charge light to light for about a full second but then it goes off immediately. This now happens every time I plug it in. sometimes it's a full second of the charge light others it just flashes on then off immediately.
I need some help, because I am not sure what is happening and I don't want to just tear it apart and throw parts at it. I am thinking the battery took a crap on me but I need someone else to confirm my suspicions.

Have you tried using a different charger? You can also check if there is a damage on you charging port.
Try using your charger to a different phone and if it works then there is a problem with your charging port. You may want try plugging in the charger to your M8 and try to move the cable near the port. If it works, then you must charge your phone in a specific position. The best thing to do is call HTC to process RMA.
Hey! Few days ago my M8 has stopped working. Just picked up the phone in the morning and it was dead (didn't charge it at night). Only charging diode glows orange when the charger is plugged in.
I've checked battery voltage with multimeter and it was 4,04V. Tried to hold power button with every combination with VOL+, VOL- and still nothing... Charging icon doesn't appear on screen. I've also checked every possible connection inside and everything is OK. Do you have any suggest? I really want to rescue it cuz it's the best audio recorder I've ever had Please help:crying:
Try holding just power button for a minute or so. Or try power+vol up for a minute.
Most folks don't realize you have to hold the button for so long, in this situation (battery ran down).

Try leaving it on the wall charger a few hours, and try again. Or try it with the charger connected.
I know you already tested the battery voltage as being good. But folks have had luck trying the various things I mentioned above. It's all you can do short of replacing the battery (which may not be the issue).
my device always red light is blinking. not open
