My Nexus 5 won't turn on - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I had a problem with my nexus 5 yesterday.. It was at 45% battery, and suddenly it shutdowns and I can't boot it again
I've tried the power button +/- volume buttons, Charging it ... nothing is happening.
What weird is, when i plug it in my pc , i hear a voice (USB voice) , but it can't recognize it
Any idea what the problem may be ?
Thanks

try long pressing the power button, for 20-30 seconds.

Usually this happens with an emmc brick....

Seems like a Sudden Death eMMC brick.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the phone vibrates 7 times when you plug it into the phone. So what happens when you reboot holding power and volume down? What happens when you just reboot the phone? Please be more specific and give more details.
i try with power on + volume down. nothing happen only vibrate again for 7 times

remove the battery and insert 1-2 days, may help
I am having the same issue on stock software. I bought this used off craigslist a few weeks ago, I used it for a day to check it out and swapped to a Galaxy Nexus. I tried last week and it started doing the 7 vibration thing, so I ordered a new battery and no luck.
ok so your phone maybe briked on a slow task \
step 1 take out battery
step 2 put battery back in
step 3 put this file go this ling scroll down till u see attachment PD98img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037474
step 4 then put it on the root of your sd card
step 5 hold down the volume and power at same time for about 20 minute till the white screen pop out then leave it there charging
till it ask u for update click volume up for yes and let it do its thing but ill take long procces
Hope this helped ^_^
ugh

mine does the same thing. it never goes to bootolader. always stays stuck on htc screen. vibrates like heck for a couple minutes. after awhile, the phone goes to the rom i flashed...i get temp access to it, then it keeps restarting. i took the sim card out and sometimes the phone is operable, then others it is not. i totally think i bricked my phone.
when i am able to get into the restart part(holding power down and restarting with bootloader or recovery) and all it does is restart over and over.
had the same problem.
hey there....
yesterday i had the same issue i was on FB (hehe) when the phone just froze.
i tried to reboot it and then got the 7 wonderful vibrations,
now i tried to reset it buy many ways and nothing seems to work. still black screen 7 vibrations and nothing more.
im really lost don't know what to do next i haven't change the phone rom or updated it and didn't install an app lately that could have caused this mess.
what are my options? yes of course i can go to a lab and try to fix it but im trying to keep it to the last resort.
thanks !

HTC Sensation Suddenly Died!!!

Hi,
Im the proud owner of a HTC Sensation, bought it quite cheap and for what its done its awesome.
Got my bootloader unlocked by HTC, and rooted, nothing else.
It has been working for almost 4 months like that! without any problems.
Today however i am pissed....
I was using Gmail App with Winamp playing, and when i tried to leave Gmail app the phone crashed, couldnt do anything but music kept going...
had to remove battery!
everything started good again, and i was playing music and using dolphin browser....this time i got an message that Gmail crashed.....and phone crashed after again. this time music stopped playing and only music noise continued played....only the same tone...
now phone is dead...had it without battery, SIM card and SD card for about 20 minutes, nothing, recharged it for about 2 hours...nothing, cant turn it on....POWER+ Volume up or volume down does nothing as well....if i connect to usb i get nothing detected...
anyone has some trick?...
probably will get away with warranty...will see....
Try another battery and charger first. A software problem, crash can not lead to hardware failure

Hi
Did you removed the batter before you pressed and hold volume down + power button
Remove and reinsert battery, press and hold volume down + power button until phone boots
Try charging you phone over night and check
Does the orange LED glow when you plug you phone to charger
Hit the thanks button if you find Mr helpful

phone is completely dead!
no orange light nothing...
removed battery, waited a few minutes put again, POWER + Volume up or down, nothing does anything...will try charger and battery from a friend tonight.
I also think a software crash wont kill the phone...but its strange that crashed first in Gmail app and second time also it was the Gmail APP...
But i also had the phone rooted... don't know if by some means could have corrupted the memory...
Will update later.
You will have to press and hold power and volume down button together for some time till phone boots
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF YOU FIND ME HELPFUL
SENT FROM XDA SENSATION USING HTC APP ))))
Just held it for about 5 minutes....nothing......
also seems battery has 3.9V with a multimeter...should be good , anyway will try at night with a good one.

What happens if you just hold the power button down for about 15 seconds?
Or, if you hold volume down and power for 15?
what about if you hold volume down and plug ausb cable in from your computer, will it enter download mode?

Thank you very much needed bro
As info, the AT&T thread is short of limited. I usually stick to the normal G2 thread, myself. You'll get more help and quicker responses I think.

Stuck power button. Rma the device if under warranty, or have it replaced.

Some kind of bootloop?

Hello guys, yesterday my nexus 5 suddenly turned off and than when I tried to turn it on some weird stuff started to happen. Sometimes the phone doesn't react on pressing the power button but sometimes it does and then I can see the google logo and it turns off. The most strange thing happens when I start to charge the phone. It turns on, shows the google logo and turns off and does it again. I found the guy with the same problem on youtube. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

Yeah, it's 100% power button when I hit the phone with my finger near the button or shake it, the phone turns on.
