I am quite bummed at this situation. If I can't manage to fix it I will be buying a new one (though I might wait for a price drop.) I've had it for over 30 days so no replacement under warranty. In the meantime does anybody have any thoughts on how I might fix it?

Well how good are you at taking apart things? The back cover is held on by 4 screws that hide under the little rubber covers in each corner. Then you need to release the clips that help hold the back on with a guitar pick, old credit card, something like that. You may have jarred a connection loose inside, or even broken one.
Does it power on at all (red light on front when plugged in), but just doesn't charge the battery?

It powers on fine, and has about 70% charge. I've seen it drop so I know it is not getting a charge (i was hoping it was just the light.)

There's a thread here about disassembling the Gtab, with pics. It sounds like hopefully a connector. Maybe look at the pics, to see how the battery, etc. is connected or ask on that thread.

You're gonna have to re-solder the power connector. There were a few incidents of this mentioned elsewhere.

Should have asked here - However, there are Three water indicators, USB port, Battery and cannot remember where the third is (some users report they do not have them on their device). Stick it in rice and let it sit for a couple of days.

Sorry about that...where on the usb port do i check?
Trying to see the easiest day to find it..
It'll be either on the top or bottom or sunken in just behind it, you'll need a torch to see it properly. But sounds like your battery one has been triggered hence the white, so chances are that one has also.
I would open it up and blow dry with a hair dryer the internals jist to be sure. There should be one at the top next to the aim tray I think.
Hello, I have a bug with my Nexus battery that no longer charge, the temperature of the battery is rated for -30 ° C but it does not recharge, whether in the ROM, the recovery, the bootloader , I ' have already connect - disconnect the battery several times but still nothing , I wonder if the fact that the phone has heated yesterday (CPU at ~ 85 ° C for 1 H) have damaged the sensor , I would like disabled or ignore it to allow charging of the phone.
It happen once already , I just disconnected - reconnected the battery and it was gone, but here it does not work again.

Not even with a new battery? I wanted to buy a new one aswell :/ All I can think of is to somehow disable the battery temp sensor, or set it to a static value, if possible. I'm not a developer so I have no idea, hopefully someone with knowledge can help us.
The problem is from the battery connector, the connector of "temperature sensor" is not connected, you need to put something between the battery connector and the motherboard cover, that why i did with my new battery, also you may need to twist the battery connectors if it's broken (like me) on the motherboard.
Edit: temperature sensor is the connector at the middle of battery connector.

Could you post some pictures? I'm not sure what connection I should check.

@Quentincc HALP! I've been using battery saver mode for the last 3 days, don't know how much longer it will last.
So you need to disassemble the phone, straighten the pines of battery connector (if your battery connector is like the photo), connect the battery, put something on the battery connector (not too hard or soft) like the photo and reassemble the phone, if it's dont work you need to re-straighten the pines of battery connector or change the battery connector (not easy) or change the motherboard.
Sorry if my english is bad but google traduction is my friend
The issue is the motherboard connector or the battery connector? The parts are so small I cannot see any problem. I have a new battery coming In the mail. Ibhad changed the battery a month ago and it worked fine for a while then all of a sudden it stopped charging.
Did doing this solved your problem? i am facing same problem.
Hey i am also facing the same problem with my nexus 5, along this i am also facing the problem like sim is not getting detected if i reinsert the sim it gets detect for 15-20 mins and again shows no sim available.

What did you do to fix it? looks like a piece of tape behind the connector?!?! doesn't make any sense. also could you post a picture or 2 of your exact fix?

it is occurred due to lose connection of battery with battery connector..
Fixing a tape onto that connector make the the connection intact.!
Changing battery connector can solve the problem but i haven't done yet...
are you facing the same problem?

I am currently having the issue and I'm not understanding the tape thing. it looks like he literally just tape on the back and connected it..... lol the picture or his explanation didn't really shed light on the problem or the fix. and what do you mean by

Actually, realizing 2 things after closer inspection. The battery connector specifically the one that reads temperature is damaged and OP modified the connector on his motherboard, idk if he resoldered it or what but I can tell cuz on the original nexus 5 the mobo color shouldn't show thru like his is.

I had the same problem, I unmounted the battery and used a small plier to compress the connector on the battery, problem is gone now.

Mine is so malfunctional I have to press so hard the screen might break to get the sensor to function.
How on earth would you go about replacing this part in the home? It is very small. I have a dead motherboard that I could take a working battery connector + sensor off, but getting it off (and replaced) requires specialist tools, like a reworking station, yes?
Alternatively, anybody know of a way to disable to thermal battery sensor? That might fix it, i.e. just turn it off!
So, yesterday, I'm just lounging on the couch, readin' on my OG Nexus 5 (from 2013, mind you). &, BAM !! Just turns off (with about 40% battery). So, I'm thinkin', "Ok. I'll just force a reboot..." NOTHING !! So, I plug it in... NOTHING !! I'm talkin' NO LEDs, no charging indicator, no NOTHIN' !! Can't access recovery or bootloader. I believe it to be a hardware issue, whether battery or some board, idk. So, what do you all think? Replace the battery? And, If it is dead, I'm out of luck !! Because, I have a good amount of research that I hadn't backed up yet. Btw, I'm no slouch, so I've tried every button combo, etc. Neither, do I believe it to be an internal power button issue.
Running rooted stock 6.0.1 MMB29K, stock recovery, franco.Kernel r79, SuperSU 2.66-BETA
Thanks !!

I suggest charging the phone using the original cable and charger that came with the phone. Leave it on the charger for about an hour to see what happens.
Yes, it could be the battery but it could also be something else. I assume you don't have another Nexus 5 to test it with.
Try to disconnect and reconnect the battery's wire. I had a similar problem and it was solved by doing so .

I've tried this, and unresponsive. And, you have assumed correctly. lol Also, I've only used the OEM cable & charger (aside from the occasional alternatives out & about i.e. friend's charger, g/f's, etc.).

By this, do you mean the long L-shaped one? Or, the smaller connection at the top of the battery? Because, I had disconnected & reconnected the ribbon, but never removed the battery, as I lack that li'l blue tool in the iFixit video.
Well, the battery will be the cheapest unless you can quickly score a used N5 with a damaged screen and working internals.

The small connector not the long L shaped. I think the L shaped is for the speaker and some other components in the bottom of the phone and not related to the battery.
You don't need the blue tool to remove the battery. Just heat the battery with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. Then, take a a flat blade and gently slide it between the battery and frame. Slide and gently pry the battery away from the frame. I have done this several times on N5s and never had a problem.

Ok. So, I had gone ahead and disconnected & reconnected the battery connector to no avail. :\ (Why do bad things happen to kinda sorta, in a way relatively good people like myself?.. smh) Any other advice?..
So, I'd decided to stop being a cheap BASTARD and ordered a "Genuine OEM Google Nexus 5 LG D820 D821 2300mAh Battery BL-T9 3.8V 8.74Wh" on amazon, sold by YDT Parts for $6.49 (Free Shipping from California) if anyone else is interested. I'll post results after installation, just-in-case anyway else finds themselves in my predicament...
That price is really good for a genuine oem battery compared to prices from etradesupply.

I KNOW, RIGHT !? Hopefully, all that I have is a dead battery. Guess I'll see soon enough. Now, if only there were a way to get a fingerprint reader on this device, I wouldn't update till the N5's no longer updated. (What's the official term for that, anyway? Not EoL, is it?..)
Let's hope it is genuine. I bought one from Aliexpress that looked just like an original but people said it is not an original because the temperature would not go above 29c. I don't know if it is original but it's works fine.
Well, got the battery and NOTHiNG !! So, idk, maybe my N5's just dead. But, the supplier might as well have been from China - Typos, terrible English, the whole 9... Also, my OEM battery's by Sony, but this one says Samsung, so who knows?.. :: shrugs:: I don't trust these companies anymore. Thanks for y'all's input, though.
So not LEDs, no vibration, nothing?
If you have access to a Windows computer, connect the phone to the computer. Does anything appear in device manager?

Nope. NOTHiNG !! Its fine, though. My g/f'd given me her VZW HTC One (M7). So, that'll haveta do till I get my next Nexus (which'll be either a 5X or Google's 2016 offering, if I like the direction the rumors go in...). So, now... OFF to the M7 boards !! Godspeed, everyone ! Godspeed. lol

This one works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DM29PTY/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00 I just did it last night. Note: Tablet wouldn't come on until I plugged in the charger for a moment.
Note: You must reuse your original control board. (EI: Cut open the end of the batteries (Voiding any warranty) and swap them, need to know how to solder)
I was left with 2 green wires on new battery, I just taped them to back of battery so they couldn't make a connection with each other or anything else.
