Just let it charge for 4-5 hrs, then try again, if you go, then exchange for another one. There is no trick to turn on a brand new device, possible bad power button, mainboard, battery what ever....or if you feel a very vibration while holding down the power button, possible screen issue.

How do I turn the phone on?
OK, not as stupid as it might sound; when the battery gets to 0 and the phone powers down, I have real problems powering it back up again. Even after it's left plugged in for a while, I just have a flashing orange notification light.
Pressing the power on button does nothing.
Pressing and holding the power on eventually makes the screen flash (hard reset?)
But the phone wont start up unless I unplug it.
Should the phone vibrate/blink/flash to show it is starting the boot up process?
For how long do you charge it after dead?
Is it with the original charger?

it is totally normal for htc phones to do that. blinking yellow light means the battery is too low to power the system but it is still charging the battery. after 10-15 minutes of charging, the blinking yellow will change to stable yellow light after which you can press the power button to turn on your phone. hope this helps
Yeah, so i went to sleep with it connected to my computer and woke up with a black screen that will not turn on for anything. when i plug the charger in the light at the top turns green. Any ideas to fix?
stock unrooted w/ jellybean OTA
I had this happen the other night.
Held the power button and volume down and the screen finally woke up.

unplug from any cables, hold power+volume down for ~15 seconds. phone should reboot.
if this does not work, try power + volume up, to see if you can get in fastboot
Got it working. I literally tried every button combo I could think holding them for as long as a minute. Went to vzw and the guy got it into to fastboot on the first try... power button and volume up is what he said he did... don't know why it didn't work for me
Hello,
Two days ago, i was on a plane and my htc ons s S3 turn off due to battery go to less than 5% and loses all power, when i came to home i try to charge it but the LED still off and when i pressing the Power key does not turn on the device, i have left more than 5h and the issue still here.
if i remove the battery and than try to charge it with an externel adaptater sector, it will be charged or not ?
Please any idea ?
You might have to leave it alone on charge for at least 15-30 minutes until the LED shows up. Then you should be able to power it on.

I have already leave at all the night, the LED is up but i think the phone is not charging, when i try to power on it, nothing happened.
When a put the sector to the phone, the LED flash about 10s with orange color, and than it's still off for some time and it's turn on (orange color) but no charge on the battery.
Have you tried to boot to hboot while charging(hold vol down and hold power same time).
If you plug into pc does it show up or do anything in pc.

Not working
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10+ seconds?
The only other thing I can think of is something has frozen, maybe you can leave it off charge for a day or two until the battery is really completely flat, then charge it for a few hours without turning it on, then see what happens?
Thanks for all,
It's work now
but believe me I heated my phone around 7min because I'm in a very cold city now and when i touch the phone i find it very cold so i decided to put it near from a fireplace and it's work juste after.
ooooofffffff

thanks

No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

if it was something that happened on its own(without you tinkering with your phone), then yes.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.
returned it

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
Hello,
Last time i saw something on my screen was my battery that was almost empty. Now when i want to charge my battery i can't see annything on my screen.
I only see a red charging led light left top of my phone.
I tried several tricks like power button and the sound buttons up and down combinations. even the yellow little button near my simcard.
I could get the 3 vibrations but i still see nothing and it won't turn on?
I Even try with the sony pc companion but it won't recognise my phone even with the volume down button,
How can i Solve this problem ?
3 vibration mean you're turning off you phone. When you do that, just plug in and let the phone charging. It'll take a while, when your phone show battery percentage just press and hold the power button again. It might work

It didn't work, i let my phone charge the whole night.
i think there's something with the connection of my battery and my motherboard of the phone.
how can i test it? could use the magnet charge to boot the phone up?
