Moto G won't switch on - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I forgot to charge my phone overnight and when i woke up the battery died, then i plugged in the charger and all i get is a white notification light on. No response. I contacted the people in motorola and they told me to leave it for 2-3hours. Surprisingly it loaded up a white screen showing the battery was charging but it was 0%, every 5mins or so there will be a black screen showing options like, boot, wipe device, or factory reset. I first of all tried the boot option but nothing happened. I done that several of times then i chose the factory reset option, after the screen went blank and then it just showed the notification light again, now my phone wont switch on i tried every method but i get nothing.

Try unplugging and plugging in again then holding the power button on for 30+ seconds.

Infuse keeps flashing the Samsung Logo

Ok, my phone was working just fine and then it randomly shut down on me and then booted up to the Samsung logo screen. The phone would flash the logo for a few seconds, go black, and then does it again. I've pulled the battery out and once I put the battery back in, the phone automatically turns back on without me having to hold down the power button or anything. I can't seem to be able to enter download mode or be able to reset it either. When I plug it into my computer it does display the battery icon charging which stops the blinking but thats it. Can someone help?

Could be your power button...manual issue...you know like it's stuck down. Go on YouTube they have a dismantling video on cleaning inside of phone buttons etc. Did it myself not hard at all

Moto G bricked or discharged I don't know

My moto g battery was drained and it wouldn't switch on, i looked for help in XDA and the people said leave it to charge for 3hours and i did. After, 3 hours it showed a battery screen showing it was charging but it was on 0%.1hour later it is still on 0%. Then i pressed the power button and it showed a screen with options like "boot", "factory reset", "hard reset". I first choice boot but nothing happened just went back to the battery screen again and i left it for 10min, and it is still on 0%. Tried the boot option several of times but nothing happens. Later, i choice factory reset and then the screen went blank and now it won't switch on. I done all the procedures of how to force a reboot but none of them works, and i think my phone might be bricked.

[HELP] Stock 5.0.1 phone power up issue

Hello,
I flashed the latest LRX22C image on my nexus 5 today.Had flashed it clean,wiping data,cache and system etc except the Internal Storage.Then I flashed the SUPERSU 2.37 ZIP .Everything was fine for about 4 hours.Then suddenly when I pressed the power button to turn the screen off,it was not turning off and the "Switch off" mode was popping up instead .Then, when I got a call,it switched off.The phone won't turn on again.It starts,the Google Boot Splash appears and the bootanimation starts for like 2 seconds and it switches off.Same thing for bootloader mode.
Please Help me!
EDIT: Now its turning on by itself and switches off in 2 seconds!
Sounds like a bad power switch to me, but of course that is just my opinion. :good:
sounds like a mech issue.
legit isue
I have the same problem on mine now... Basically my phone powered down around 45%. Battery. At the time i thought it was dead... But it wasnt. When i would plug into external power, either usb or through wireless charging it would power cycle continuously at the android splash screen.... (1 to 2 second intervals - even if i booted into fastboot) Interestingly it would never go to the battery charging mode. But automatically boot on charge... It did this for about 6 hours then i gave up and left it unplugged for a day. I plugged it back in and it started power cycling again, however this time on its third boot it came back to life . thats when i discovered i still had 40% battery... I dont know what exactly made it boot but it did. Oddly also on boot, it started optimising apps and finishing install again. I checked the md5 before I installed the update so no issue there. Since it powered up i have powered the phone off using the power button long push and let the phone power down. After doing this when i plug the phone in to usb charge it goes to the charge screen. No issue. That said, if i try to power up while tethered and charging it will not allow it. It just stays at the charge screen. As soon as i unplug the usb the power button allows the phone to power up and work... When booted up it charges as normal when plugged in. Im convinced there is an issue with the power management drivers or drivers for the button controls. My phone worked fine until the 5.0.1 update was installed. On my nexus 5. Anyone else or just us two? Ive had a hard time finding people posting on this issue.

[Q] xperia z3 not respondig

hello,
I had left my phone to charge at night, then this morning it was not responding. Power button was not waking up the phone. Then i forced to reset by power and volume buttons. Vibrated 3 times and completely shut off. Now it is not opening.
I already tried, reset button in sim cards slot. It is not working also. Please help me.
Did you try connecting it to PC Suite or FLashtool? Check that once and also try charging another hour and then force reset the phone. Also I think there is a reset button somewhere under the sim card slot. Try that one too.
Hold volume up and press power. Wait for beep three times. Give it a few seconds and then press power alone, should boot.
Thanks guys, i tried both but still i have sudden death. reset button and power+volume buttons not working. Also flashtool could'nt find my device.
Thats not good, any led when plugged in?
I had a similar instance after flashing unofficial cm12. Phone was cooling down from taking a run through an obvious cpu bug that really killed my battery. I shut it off to cool down with 20 precent still left in the battery. And the phone started to act this way when I went to power it on. No led power indicator or anything even with usb connected. My computer did respond to the usb being connected as if a device was there though. I waited about 10 minutes with the phone in front of some cool air and then did the volume up power button reset which worked then. Still quite a scary incident.

Phone bricked after batter replacement

I replaced the battery myself.
After finished, I trun on the phone, it vibrates once and the screen light up a little (hardly see it) but cannot boot. When I press and hold the power button, it turns off but on again automatically with the same phenomenon. What did I do wrong? I can charge the battery (the LED changed from yellow to green).
I had this to several times after changing battery. I had to disconnect the battery and connect it again every time it happened, not so funny opening the phone up every time...
After a few times it just started to work normal. Strange.
