Hi. I have searched for a good hour or so. I found stuff on black screen after a pleathera of other things but not after your battery died. I was texting from my phone and the battery died. Since then, it will not turn back on. Well, it turns on because it is vibrating and when I try to do the power button, volume button thingy...the green light goes on and it vibrates, but still nothing on the screen. when I have it plugged into the charger, I can see a light in the background but as soon as I unplug it, the light goes off...can you help or direct me to the correct thread. I really did try looking for the solution but all that I see are things that have happend while trying to update or etc. thank you

I did read somewhere a while back that somebody else had this issue. They just took it to att and told them their battery died and their phone won't turn on. They will give you a new battery to try. A new battery fixed it for the guy in the article I read.

So here is the deal...
My kids needed a night light as we are on vacation so I decided to plug the power charger and left the flashlight app on the entire night. Now that I think about it not a smart idea.
When I woke up this AM the phone had the battery charging icon on the screen. This only appears when the phone is charging while it is powered off.
So far I have removed the battery several times and tried to power the phone on with no success.
I have also tried to hold the volume down and press the power button as recommended on various forums with no luck.
I am overseas right now (home town is the usa) and I need my phone more than if I was home .
Any idea how the flashlight app left ON while also powering may have caused this?
Or is this just a coincidence and I am having an issue that others are having and it is not related to what I did last night?
Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.
By flashlight app do you mean one that turns on the camera flash or one that leaves the screen on?
I am also unclear what you mean by:

Does the icon appear even when not charging? Does the screen function at all? Or does the phone seem completely dead, as in not even vibrating when powering on after removing battery.
If it was the camera flash, it might have overheated and damaged something, but this is just my speculation.
By flashlight I mean the one that leaves the screen on in white color.
The icon only appears while the phone is hooked up to the charger. When I unlplug it it disappears. (So to me this answers your question if the screen works at all).
The phone does not vibrate when I try to power it on after I remove and put back the batter.
Thanks for your quick reply and hope this answers your questions.
So I was using CM9 RC Build after switching from AOKP. Nothing going wrong with my phone, nothing funny when suddenly I go to sleep with my phone on the charger and wake up to the phone being extremely hot with a white outlined battery showing that it's charging. Whenever I hold down the Power Button it Vibrates once and does NOTHING. Taking the battery out and putting it back in results in one vibration and nothing else. Just a black screen.
All I had done last night was sit my phone down as usual and get some sleep, and wake up to this.
EDIT: Okay, nevermind. It seems to not have charged one single bit...Sorry!
Well, title says it all. My girlfriend's Moto G just went totally dead one day. I took it apart and measured that the battery voltage was very low. I also tried to charge the phone but all that it did is blinking white LED if Power button is pressed.
So, i went to eBay and purchased a new battery which arrived today. Popped it into Moto G aaand.. still no life. Even the white LED did flash no more Tried almost every single trick that I have found, still no luck, however few hours of charging with my G3 charger bring the white LED back to life. Now if I press Power button for a few seconds, white LED flashes quickly 2 times and then it goes away and nothing on screen. If I just let it charge without touching anything, I can see white LED flashing sometimes. Gonna leave it charging overnight and see if that brings it back to life. Any tricks what else I can do with this phone or should I just toss it away?

Can you enter fastboot mode, if you can that might indicate a sign of life.
Can't enter fastboot either Tried to press Vol - and Power, white LED flashed only one time but still no luck :/ Maybe the mobo is bad?
What you have done to it
Just standard use, but one night it just died. It did not wake with overnight charging. It is now sitting on my desk without charger, gonna try it in the evening when i go home. If it does not wake, i think it really is dead
Try looking up the led codes from Motorola's site or something. That might help if there are any. Seems to me that you have some hardware damage. But I might be wrong.
Try keeping it on charger for a few hours, then with charger connected, press power and keep it pressed for like 2 straight minutes. That should at least wake the device. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it is busted :/

Tried that too, even pressed Power button over 2 minutes but all it does is white LED flashing randomly. Without charger it does absolutely nothing. I think the motherboard is busted
Seems like hardware damage to me too, use it for parts or sell it I guess.
why don't you take it to service center
it will be your best bet if engineer have a look whats the issue. just a get a approx cost. they will let you know. :good:
Hey, just bought a new Z3, and I plug it in, at night before I go to sleep. In the morning after not waking up in time since the alarm clock didnt work, I was surprised to fins out that the phone is off, it has the black screen with the loadimg icon in the middle. Holding the power key turns it on normally. Heppened like 3 times now. When it is charging, but I use it for like a few hours nothing heppenes, its not turning off when I use it. And all kind of stamina and battery life savers are off. Dont have a fishy app or anything either.
Hopefully u couls help me with that.

Still isnt solved, help please!
if its only when the phone is charging sounds like fault on the handset
Hey guys, i was trying to post this as a reply to this thread but i wasn't allowed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...6IKs71WjSjTXIwm-IHR22AOFfOB0nVMc86EX1986seHCY
So, this morning i woke up to finnd my phone (wich had been charging the whole night) not turning on and with a white led blinking (short flashes, not long ones as in notifications). I don't know if it was just the screen or if it was off, but it wasn't warm or anything. Anyway, i tried turning it on, connect to my pc, switched charger, and nothing happened, i held power + Vol Down, nothing happened. Also tried Vol Up, no results. But when i held longer, it vibrated 3 times (sign of hard reset) and the LED stopped blinking, and i kind of died. I'm assuming its a soft brick.
But i don't know what caused the first symptoms, or what the blinking white LED means. I'm also not sure if i should follow the procedures on the link i mentioned, knowing that i made the hard reset after it was blinking. Im hoping all i have to do is wait for the battery to drain, and it finally turns on asking to charge.
Any thoughts of what i should do? I don't know if i keep it off any power source and wait, or try to recover it as the link suggests.
Thanks! I hope you guys can help me out.
