Screen dead after PS3 charging attempt

Hey guys
a friend of mine tried to charge his TD from his PS3's USB port. Sadly, this has ment that the screen will now not work at all - completley dead. The phone however, does appear to be working properly but there is no way to confirm this (i.e. it will vibrate etc and make various sounds). It also doesn't seem to respond when plugged in to a PC's USB port.
I've tried a hard reset but this doesn't seem to do anything....
Any ideas?

I charge it off the PS3 all the time; it's only a standard-power USB port so it's not the problem, it's your phone.
Try the following:
- Remove the battery and drain residual power by holding the power button for a few seconds. Leave for a few minutes.
- Plug in to an AC power source, wait 30 seconds, and try turning it on.
- Try going into bootloader (hold vol. down on boot). If you get there, reflash a stock ROM (including radio) and try again.
- Do you feel the vibration on power up? If not, the screen is not the problem.
- If it is the screen, wait until you know it is turned on, then put light pressure in various places on and around the screen. If it flickers at any point, it's a hardware problem.
- If you really can't get anything done, you'll have to take it to a repair shop and get a diagnosis or call HTC / your provider / your insurer.
All the best

[Q] LQ Optimus G not booting

Here is the series of events. Upgraded to LG optimus G one week ago and that same day, rooted it and installed Cyanogen 10.1. Week goes by functioning completely normal. Today, the battery was down to 5%. Powered off the phone and hooked it to my PC via micro USB cable. Return an hour later to turn it back on. LQ logo appears for a split second then the screen goes dark though still active because of the backlight. Only response I get is when holding down the power button until the screen goes off. It then powers back up and briefly shows the LG logo and the screen is blank again. No response from any other attempt to boot the phone into recovery mode or normal.
Simultaneous power and volume down does not enter recovery mode, nor does any other combination of keys

Are you holding down the power button while still plugged in? In essentially the exact same scenario you are experiencing, my phone will not turn back on if I have it plugged in.
Unplug it, hold down the button until LG logo appears and release while LG logo still on the screen. That's how I have to do it.

Its not going to charge with the battery that low on the computer. you need to power it off (vol down + power) and plug it into the wall charger. leave it for 30 min. unit should turn on at this point. if not read the repair guide in this thread or jump on the irc and myself or some of the other people can help you.

The USB port I was plugged into was a 3.0 which has extra power sent through it via a bios setting specifically to charge phones. Anyway, I disconnected it and it is now connect to an adaptor from a wall outlet. We'll see what happens in the next 30 min.

Phone not turning on.

Hi. So after a long wait I got my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML today. The first thing I did was turning it on and it turned on normally, then I proceeded to make the initial setup (logging into google account, etc) without any problems. Then after about 10 minutes of use the phone suddenly turned off with the battery being at around 35% and didn't want to turn on again. I read that old firmware (like the one that comes default with the phone) had battery display errors so I thought the phone had run out of battery, so I charged it for 8 full hours and I unplugged it now. To my surprise the phone is not turning on either. The only way I can make the screen show something is by connecting it to the charger, it vibrates and displays a white battery icon, eventually changing to fully green (fully charged battery, the green led indicator also appears) only to disappear like 3 seconds after. Can't turn the phone on while charged and can't even make the phone show the battery icon again (unless I unplug and plug again, repeating the cycle). So, what can I do to turn it on?
Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that you did not hold the power button long enough. Disconnect the charger first, and wait for about 10 seconds. Then, hold the power button for at least 6 seconds. The phone should then vibrate and then you may release the power button. Other reasons why your phone may not seem to be turning on at all might be due to the back cover not being fully locked in, thus not making any contact with the power on the motherboard itself.
Do report back the results.

I did. Doesn't work. I also removed the back cover and pressed the power button with nails with no results either. Personally I think there's something to do with the power button as it doesn't even responds while charging (pressing it should display the battery icon) and the only time I could use the phone it didn't work to wake up the phone or setting it to sleep, only double tapping worked. What is strange is that it worked the first time I turned on the phone though.

Are you able to get into FastBoot mode? If so please try performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. Please see the following:

G Pad bricked. Any help would be appreciated!

Basically, the device wont turn on no matter what I do, no matter what key combinations I use. If I plug it into a power outlet, the LG logo comes up, then the tablet shuts down, then the LG logo comes up, rinse and repeat.
If I plug it into a PC, I get the sound of it connecting and disconnecting over and over, but nothing comes up on the display.
I've never had a bricked device that I couldn't unbrick by going into adb or download-mode but I can't even get into download mode. I'm stuck and ran out of ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: I got it to show the charging logo. Basically just left it plugged in doing the logo-loop for about 15 minutes until the battery indicator showed up. Very strange. Hopefully once it's charged everything will be fine.

Have you pressed the volume up key + pressed the power button multiple times over and over, I can get mine into download mode only if I use that method.
When I corrupted my tablet, first it would hang on the LG logo screen and never boot into anything, once, then I got the issue of it boot looping only into TWRP only even after installing ROM's, then flashed TWRP in TWRP, and wala, fastboot boot loop only, for the life of me I could not get it to go into download mode, I had almost given up, but alas the last attempt to randomly smash buttons unveiled that holding volume up + clicking power over and over rather quickly rendered it to download mode...
If your getting the LG logo screen its likely that you can recover it.
As for the connecting/disconnecting, its likely that the device your connecting it to cant provide the power being pulled by the device, I have to use a powered USB hub for my Alienware 17 (R2) early 2015 laptop, as it cant handle the power draw of almost any devices, I have had issues even with self powered USB portable hard drives, so I really can feel your pain.

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.
