[Q] Nexus 5 won't power on

Hi,
I'm running the latest stock android kitkat on my nexus 5. I recently powered off the device and it won't power back on.
When I powered off the battery was at about 90%.
I have tried:
- Holding down the power button for 3 seconds
- Holding down the power button for 30 seconds
- Holding down the power button for 90 seconds
- Holding down the power and both volume buttons
- Powering up the device while it's plugged in to USB
None of these seem to result in my Nexus 5 powering up.
I had this previously happen new years day. I decided to go home to try to fix the problem when my phone magically started working when I hit the power button for the regular amount of time.
The power button has no problem turning on and off the screen when the phone is powered up.
Anyone have any tips on how I can get this thing powered up?
I have a feeling I'm going to have to RMA this phone.

Yeah most likely you are going to have to RMA, but before that just try this. Try connecting your phone to a wall outlet and don't press anything and wait for 10 seconds. Do you see a battery icon on the screen? If not, then unplug it, hold both volume buttons, then plug it back in. If your phone actually does work, you should get to the boot loader screen.

Phone won't boot up

I have researched the "related threads" and none are similar to the issue I am having.
The phone turned off midcall and fails to turn on afterwards. I thought it was the battery, but it still fails to turn on after charging over night.
It boots up to show the logo, after a battery pull and turns back off.
If I I press down the power button + down volume+ menu, I get the warning about a custom install of an OS may damage the phone and if i want to continue to press the volume up, or cancel.
The phone only lasts about 5 seconds, after every battery pull, other wise it won't turn on again.
I haven't gotten a blank white screen nor the Android logo.
Thank you.

Update: I believe I confirmed it is a power button issue.
What I used to confirm it was pressing the volume down button and menu without the power button and was able to see the Warning as if I had pressed all three. Also, the phone vibrates as soon as I place in the battery.
Issue now is: Supposedly the cause is due to a stuck power button, but physically the power button is not stuck. It clicks when pressed.

[Q]Nexus bricked...hardware,posibly button?

Hello, my phone worked perfectly until i open it by power button pressed youtube and then phone shut down.
I can't power it on by only battery.
I can power it on by 2 sec when i plug charger and then restarts!
If i keep pressing volume down it enters bootloader and after 2 sec restart.
Cause???
Power button failure?

Could be a power button issue. Remove the motherboard from the case, clean around the button with some isopropyl alcohol, quickly press and release the power button using more pressure than normal, put it back into the case, try to boot.

Had the phone to a service and fixed for a 15$

Did you have the power button replaced?

Stop phone from restarting when power button is accidentally pressed for 5 seconds?

I'm having a problem with the power button. It seems that it is a "feature" of the Honor 8 that if you hold down the power button for 5 seconds, the phone will restart without asking if that is really what you want to do. It happens either when I am carrying the phone in my left hand with my fingers wrapped around the buttons on the right side, or when the phone is in my pocket and I am working outside and I squat down and my pocket presses against the power button. Is there a way to disable the phone from restarting without asking? If the screen is unlocked, there is a prompt but after 5 seconds of holding the power button, it restarts anyway.

I think it's a common "safety" feature in practically any Android phone that if you keep power button pressed long enough, it will force reboot the phone. It's been that way in my Samsung, Motorola, Google, Asus, and Honor phones.

Turning on S10e with power button broken?

Hello,
as stated, i got my power button broken probably due to water (not that waterproof huh?). The power button has worked for a few weeks, sometimes it was really sloppy and unresponsive, and stopped completely, and when my battery completely depleted i am now unable to power it on. I am able to get into download mode from where there is an option to restart the phone but of course it requires to press vol down + power button.
Have you got any magic tricks to turn on a turned off s10e with the power button broken ?

Hello! The solution: press volume down + bixby button and now plug usb c data cable (computer->phone), wait 3-5 seconds and phone starting in download mode. From download mode you can restart the phone with volume down button.
