Hello,
first of all, I've read every other guide on the internet with the same problem, I haven't found a fix yet.
My problem is a little bit different then others.
A couple of days ago my phone got really hot, so I decided to stop use it so it can cool a bit. It still had like 80% battery remaining. After it was cooled down a bit it wasn't powered on anymore and I was unable to boot it up, it was just dead. I placed it in the fridge for about half an hour, after that it was working fine again.
Now I have the problem that it won't power on again. If I plug it into the wall (original charger) There is just a white LED on the front, which means the phone is too low to turn the screen on, After 2 minutes or so the white LED disappers, but the screen is not turning on. If I plug it off and on again the white LED is back on.
When the LED is gone i tried pressing some buttons according to some guides in the internet. The only result was, when I pressed the power down and the power button while the white LED is off, it just comes back on after exactly 2 minutes.
I also tried 3 different batteries, 2 of them are original motorola batteries for the MotoG, the other one a cheap ebay one.
Is there any chance I can bring it back to live? Or at least get my data recovered?
Greetings,
Lukas

I've got a 4G Xoom, that I bought new about 13 months ago. It's been great to me so far. I had it rooted and was running CM 9 on it and had been doing so for about a month without any issues.
Yesterday, it was plugged into the charger and I happen to glance at it and it was doing some strange things with the screen, flashing on/off, black lines on part of the screen. I powered it off and left it alone for an hour or so.
Since then, it's been completely unresponsive. I've tried Vol Up+Power button countless times without it working. The charge light (white) came on briefly while plugged in, but then went off, never to return. The only reaction I can get is that after holding Vol up+Power causes an orange light next to the front camera to blink twice. That's it.
Any suggestions? Is it completly dead?

Given that it's sealed, how is this done? I hadn't even considered cracking the case.

You may not need to remove the battery as several people have reported success with just slipping some paper between the contacts for 30+ seconds. You will need to open it up though and here's a post with info and pictures to guide you through that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578365
On edit: here's another thread with good info for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528706&page=3
Good luck.
Well, I did the paper under the battery terminals for 15 minutes and still no joy.
One item of note is that when I plug the charger in, I'm not getting a white (or green) light. At least not much of the time. Occasionally, I can wiggle the plug a bit and it will light up, but I'm not getting to green at all.
I can put a multimeter on the battery leads, does anyone know how many volts/amps I should be reading?
Are we sure that its not just a crap connection with the charging plug. It is a wimpy little pin and my Xoom needs me to do a rain dance to get it to charge. I have to plug it in, wait a few seconds and then the white light comes on , but only if the wire is flipped back over the top of the screen. Another thought is I use Tiamat ics and there is an option to have the light on or off during charge and I think it is set to off as default, maybe you didn't set that up. I would bet its something stupid and you just need to keep playing with the wire and see if you can get it on. Good luck.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
T-Mobile Sensation 4G. rooted, ICS (not exactly sure which version, likely custom)
I had a cracked screen, replaced it, ran into laggy screen problem but seemed to manage it for past few weeks.
Last night, battery ran out of juice. When I realized that, the screen is black but the bottom buttons r all lighted up in white. couldn't turn it off with the power button so I took the battery out. since then, pressing the power button will give me a phone that vibrates ONCE every 5-6 seconds. Nothing can change that state except taking out the battery.
I got home. plugging the phone into a desk charger (anker dock) and it starts giving me red light for a couple of seconds then darkness for 20sec then red light for 2s then darkness. plugging to the PC does the same thing.
I happen to have an extra battery (this seems to be the original one from HTC but kinda old). With this battery in, phone will only give me the black screen and vibrates and it will heats up a little bit when cable is plugged in.
I also check the voltage of both battery. original one (old from htc) gives 4.4v and aftermarket one (bought on ebay) gives 3.9v.
Vol.down + power button doesn't do anything. Computer won't recognize phone
Can any one please give me a hint of what's going on?
I also have this issue. Running CM9 Nightly 8-16. My battery was charging slowly, then the next day it was dead even though it was on charge overnight. I swapped batteries with another sensation ( I have 3 on my account ) and all I get is what the OP said. HELP PLEASE
Lol been way too long that I posted this. I ended up contacting HTC and they verified that I was still under warranty and fixed it for me. They even switch out the replacement screen and put in the original from htc-tmobile.
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 guys,
a few days ago I accidentally dropped an HTC One E8 in water and obviously it doesn't work anymore. Before buying a new one I wanted to ask, if some of our "HTC experts" may have suggestions on what else I could try before giving up.
The situation: I dropped it in water, didn't turn it off (dumb, I know) and it worked for around 10 minutes until it powered off. I left it in rice for a day and it didn't turn on or charge. At this point I nearly gave up.
I left it for in rice (about 48 hours) and - the orange led was flashing while charging. Even the screen turned on and it showed a charging symbol first and after a few seconds it showed a red circle and a white exclamation mark. After some time I could power it on and the touchscreen worked and I could use it, but it still was around 1%/0%. The screen flickered, but it was usable. I wanted to plug it in my computer then to rescue some data, but 5 seconds after I took it off power (to switch from the wall charger to my PC) it died.
Now I tried it to power it on for like 2 days, but with no charger connected nothing happens and when I connect the charger, the orange led is on constantly. I tried power/volume- and power/volume+, but nothing happens. Not even the charging indicator comes up, the screen is completely dead.
Are there any steps to try before giving up? By the way I don't want to disassemble it
Thanks in advance
Let me explain.
About 2-3 months ago i woke up and my galaxy s6 was completely dead,
i tried booting in safe mode, dowload mode, i tired everything in my power but it just wouldn't turn on.
I went to a chinese shop to get it checked out (it's not under warranty) and they said that the motherboard was kaput,
so i just brought it home and put it in a drawer and forgot about it, and used some old galaxy fame i had laying around.
Today i was looking for something else and came across the galaxy s6 again, so i thought to myself that i might aswell stick the charger in it, just for gigs, the phone is already trashed so why not try, and to my surprise i the LED turns on, but it's not red, like if it's charging, it's a white-purpleish color and its just stays there, no blinking or anything, i tried unplugging it and the led stays, wich leads me to believe that the battery and expecially motherboard actually aren't completely busted. I tried plugging it into my laptop but no responses, i even tried having ODIN open while plugging it in, but 0 response.
So i tried the usual troubleshooting:
power button, power button + volume down + home button, power button + volume up + home button
but nothing worked, i have googled a bit and haven't really found anything about this, so i suppose the purple led is some sort of "red ring of death" telling me the phone is just done for? (it is 2 years old and it has been used to s*** so i wouldn't be surprised.)
update: i've fiddled around with the phone a bit more after writing this and i noticed it was getting a tiny bit warm, wich indicates either one of 2 things:
-the battery is just fine and it's charging;
-there is a short inside of the phone, wich is the cause of its death.
Update2: i saw with the corner of my eye that the led changed color, so i turned around and saw that the led turned to a magenta color (again not the red charging led) and then just turned off completely, i guess it's beacause i charged it for 2 minutes and uplugged it right after.
Update3: And i'ts gone, led's dead and it won't turn on anymore, RIP!
