Samsung i780 Dead... Power cannot start... - General Questions and Answers

Hi anyone...
Need help to see if there is solution to my dead i780. After charging for quite sometime, the led indicator still remain "RED". I suspected something went wrong so I unplug the power and the red indicate still there. I tried switching on or off the phone but was unsuccessful. No choice, I have to take out my battery and place it back. After doing so, the phone cannot be turn on anymore!!!
Having an external battery charger and spare battery, I tested with a different battery but still unsuccessful. Charge the existing battery with the external charger have no issue. So I concluded that the problem now lies with the phone... any solution? or anyone encountered this before.
If I send for repair, is it worth it? $20++ for checking and $XXX.XX for parts.
Thank you.

Complete death, wont turn on

I get my hands on a Desire S, that refuses to turn on. Now the battery is charging in a another one, there are no problems with the battery. Any suggestions what to try? When the battery will be at 100 %, i try to turn on.
When phone is charging, is there the LED orange/green? You can try the following. Plug in the phone, and while is plugged in take out the battery and try to start it up without the battery (but still plugged). I know that there was something like this written in a topic, when someone adviced to turn the phone on, then take out the battery while it was booting and the phone will still run even if the battery is out. It could be something similar with some laptops that can start regardless of the presence of the battery
Ok i now tryed to turn it on, even with the cable, nothing. Seems there is some hardware damage. Seems i have to buy new mainboard. Anybody got for sale a desire S with damaged screen ?

[Q] Blank screen when turning on phone?

Hi, I'll explain what happened.
My phone recently turned off (the screen kind of fizzled away to black) So I assumed this was the battery running out. When I got home I put it on charge and as I usually do waited a few minutes, then tried to turn on, to charge whilst on, the screen lit up the phone vibrated and the start up tune played, but only a lit up blank screen appeared?
I thought it might need more charging so I removed the batter to turn it off and put on charge again, whilst it was "charging" there was a flashing amber light for about 4 seconds at a time, this never turns steady or green, when just leaving on charge.
After numerous batter removals and replace the phone still does the same thing when turned on, but now with no sound, and still appears if the screen is on but blank and the four soft keys are lit, then if I press the power button or if I leave it, the screen goes off itself until I press the power key again (this same thing that would happen if going to lock screen). All of this happening with a now flashing green light?
I tried to access phone by USB cable and although laptop picks up fact something is plugged into USB, it doesn't appear on HTC sync or memory card doesn't appear.
When trying to hold in volume down and power on it's as if it's going to the right screen but still blank.
Stock rom on phone, S-OFF
Anyone have any ideas, without replacing phone?
Thanks
its seems like your phone has bricked.
1. First try this
2. if step 1 doesnt work, follow this
read step by step. good luck!
Have you tried a new battery? My phone went completely black while charging and it showed no signs of life, no charging light nothing. It was a new battery with about 60Percent charge when I put it on the charger. I noticed like you did, I tired to charge more but not even a light would come on. I happened to have another fully charged battery I kept as a spare. When I put the spare battery in, the phone sprang back to life! I threw the other battery away and have had zero problems since. So I suggest you try a new fully charged battery before you do any thing else. Strange thing was the battery I was using was fine the day before and even had the 60 percent charge when I put it on charger. I'm not sure how it happens but somehow the battery just died on charger. So give a new battery a try and see if it will also help you. If it doesn't, then likely it's failure of your device. But please do try because the exact same thing happened to me and the new fully charged battery fixed the problem! I'm hoping it will also fix it for you! Best of luck! You can get a good battery online for under 20 dollars. I recommend Anker extended battery. I really hope this works for you! Let us know.

So I get to the point where I have to ./brickdetect.sh and the phone isn't picked up or recognised, any idea how I can get the laptop to pick up the connection properly?

Have you tired another battery? I had something similar happen to me. I put my phone on charger with about 60%battery left. When I went to check on phone after charging, it was completely dead. No charging lights, nothing! I tired to charge again but still nothing. Strange thing was this battery was fairly new. Well, I happened to have another battery. I put it in the phone and then my phone came back to life! My battery had somehow died during charging. The new battery fixed the phone. Maybe you should try another battery, just in case the same thing happened to you? It sure wouldn't hurt to try. I wish you the best and hope you get your problem solved. Good luck.

[Battery - LG NEXUS 5] Always 0%!!!

Hello to all, as in the photo that I enclose, since replaced the display on my nexus 5, the indicator of the battery charge remains always at 0% ... if the detachment from the current, continues to run regularly for a few hours.
I also tried replacing the battery with an original but to no avail. If i turn off the phone there is no way to turn it back on if you disconnect the battery, attacking power, get it going in the bootloader, reattach the battery and then start ... crazy stuff. What do you think?
Sorry my english and thnks for helps!
Hello,
I am having the same problem after having replaced the battery... Did you find any solution? Thank you
Same problem here. I revived the phone after a water drop but now have exactly this problem. All good except for this. I replaced the battery but still the same.
The phone can use normally, just don't know how much battery left because always shows 0%.
And if turn off need to open it, disconect the battery, connect the charge, turn on and when google appear connect the battery back. Kinda weird but is how it works now.
Any way to solve this?
The same problem
It happened to me and I am looking for a new battery in Egypt
I have the same problem.
Even with a new OEM battery this happen.
Any news about a solution?
Exactly the same problem.. any solution?!

Z3 Death discharge problem

Welcome, i've readed alot of topics on the internet about problems similar to this, but nothing fixed my problem. I've tried connecting to wall/pc charger, power button + volume down/up combinations, really all the thing.
Couple days ago after my phone fully discharged ( I rarely had situation like this, I usually charge when my phone have 10-15%, but this day I couldn't. ) I came back home and tried to charge my phone, red light was ON but it still didn't charge after alot of hours. I then tried to fix it, turning on phone etc. but screen was always black and phone didn't want to charge. At first when I tried to boot the Z3 red light was blinking, but after some time it stopped. I ordered new battery, replaced it carefully (though it's battery problem) - then when I connected the new battery for the first time I though I have fixed the problem, battery charging icon showed up for a moment on screen, I was very happy. Then I disconnected charger so I could assemble my phone. Now when I try to charge my phone problem is this same.. like with old battery - Just red light, not turning ON, not blinking. Powering up Key combinations with volume don't fix it. My PC Companion don't see phone. I disassembled my phone again, disconnected battery and connected it - It didn't showed any battery icon again, so why it did when I connected it for the first time? and why when my phone died for the first time red light was blinking, now it doesn't? I want to add that I never dropped my phone or used it in water - never, thats why I was almost sure maybe just battery died after it discharged.
Btw. Important thing is that USB port isn't broken, red light is always ON when I plug USB charger, but when I try to use my magnetic charger, phone never respond - no light. I also tried different cables, chargers etc. Could it really be something with the mainboard?
What could've happen? Why my phone went dead after fully discharged it ? Why battery replacement doesn't fix the problem? I don't get it, is mainboard damaged or something? Can I still try something? Maybe anyone can help me.
Please :/ I cannot afford a new phone right now, really want to try fix it, maybe somehow connecting USB cable straight without usb port can fix it? I heared people do something like this.
