My G2 stopped working last Friday. Just went completely dead. I text my wife, put the phone in my pocket and 10 mins later I checked and I got no lights, no power or anything. Phone was rooted, but ran stock and twrp. I left it on charge and went camping. Last night, I decided to fool around with it a bit. I was able to get the LG logo to come up when doing a reset (power + vol. down) but then it went dead again. I plugged it in and waited a few hours and did the reset combo again and was able to get as far as the led light changing colors, and the ATT logo and jingle once, but since, I haven't even been able to get the LG logo to appear again. Is this indicative of a dead battery? Is it possibly something else?
I read this in a forum after I had a similar problem. While it sounds ridiculous, it's worth a shot. It worked for me. Hold your power button for over 60 seconds. Sounds excesive, but works.
I thought I had a brick and that did the trick for me.
For what I read in here. seems like A LOT of LG G2 D800 are dying for no good reason.
I have had this happen on 2 lg g2 d800 in the last 2 months. I am extremely careful about the phone and it just died while still having about 80% charge. No lights of any kind or response of any kind. I have tried power button + vol down, power button + vol up, hold power button for 15 sec. plus a ton of other things. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Last night my Xoom went into sleep mode after I had looked something up as usual. When I went to use it again, it was dead. Absolutely nothing. Plugging in the power cord never showed it getting a charge. I seriously thought it was dead for sure.
Solution:
Hold power button and volume up button and system came back to life...sort of. I got the motorola logo but at the top of the screen it said something like Starting RSD Protocol 3 and just sat there. Release both buttons, did the same procedure and she roared back to life and is working fine now.
Just thought I would share that in case it happens to anyone else.
Same happened to me about a week ago; My Xoom turned off and would not come on or even start to charge when I plugged it in, I was freaking out, then I accdently hit vol up while trying power for the mill time and it turned on...
Just hold down the power button in it will do the same but just don't load in bootloader

Mine just rolled over and played dead as well. I had about 3 quarters charge, put it in sleep mode and then nothing. Holding down the power button did nothing as well. And like the OP, I had no charge indication when I plugged it in.
The volume up and power combination did bring it back to life. I want to clarify for others who encounter this that just holding the power button alone did nothing.
Sadly I had to look up the fix on my wife's iPad2.
Fortunately she was not home to see that...
Did you flash a kernel? I had the same issue with a kernel I flashed from the Ubuntu thread in the dev section. I flashed to a Tiamet kernel and it went away. Before that I flashed the stock images and then the kernel.
I think its kernel related.

Sorry. It was bad form of me to leave out the OS . Mine is a factory stock Verizon.
I had a similar issue with mine a few weeks back. Battery was at about 50%, plugged it in to charge when I went to bed and woke up and it was completely dead. It took me almost a half hour to get it to start charging again so I could power it on. I didn't do anything fancy with it, no power / vol up magic, it just suddenly decided to start charging again and would power on. I still have no clue as to what the root cause was to my problem, only happened once and no issues since.
I'm running a stock 3.1 ROM and kernel but rooted.
Same thing happened to me last night. Plugged in before bed and wouldn't power up in the morning. I freaked as my Xoom is less than a week old. Power + vol up was the only solution. Strange, but judging by this post this seems to be a trend, hopefully one that will not be a regular occurrence.
Running stock rooted rom with Tiamat kernel conservatively set to 1.2 ghz, although it seems this problem isn't confined to a particular kernel. Wifi only HMJ37 (US) model - It would be handy if everyone with problem reports with their hardware version and kernel etc so that any trends may be documented.

deceased xoom, no charge light but charger was warm as if charging, so held power button and volume UP for probably 10 secs & BADDA BING! power up as normal1:laugh:
A few nights ago, I turned off my Xoom normally. It had plenty of power left.
In the morning, I plugged it in and left it without even trying to turn it on. The green charge light was on when I came back to it. It will not power on. I tried upvolume with power button and also downvolume with power button, as well as power button alone. I even tried up and down volume simulaneously with power. Nothing works.
It has charged for 3 days, but it is dead. It is not modified in any way, and is long since out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I hate to buy a new anything, this Xoom does everything I need.
Thanks!
Me too Happened before and I managed to get into recovery but can't do it now. Help
I bought my Zenfone 2 about 3 months ago and it had been working perfectly fine. However, on the day before yesterday the phone appeared to lag more than it usually does but I didn't pay much attention to it. Later in the evening I noticed that the battery was not reducing and it remained constantly at 50%, despite me having watched at least an hour of youtube on it.
Later, when I was watching some videos online, the phone suddenly turned off - I thought that was because I had used up all the battery, so I plugged it into the main using the original cable and charger, but the phone would not charge and the little light on the top right of the phone never came on. I could not turn on my phone and all the phone would do was buzzes every few minutes. So since then, I have kept the phone connected to the charger (and it carried on to buzz twice every few minutes). I tried to turn the phone on yesterday morning by long pressing the button on the top of the phone but it would again not turn on at all.
When the phone is being charged, it buzzes every 1 and a half minute regardless of which charger or cable I'm using, and when the phone is not being charged, it doesn't buzz
Someone tried to help and suggested me to do the 3 following things:
1) Hold the power button for 15 minutes then let go and press for another few secs to try to turn the phone on - I did this, and the phone did buzz when i tried to turn it on, but the screen is still off, as well as the small light on the top right
2) hold the volume up + power button for 5 seconds, then release volume up before releasing power button - my phone buzzed after holding both volume up + power button for a few seconds, but still the screen did not come on and neither did the small light.
3) hold the volume down + power button for 5 seconds, then release volume down before releasing power button - nothing happened. The phone didn't even buzz.
I don't really understand why I was asked to do them, but i did them anyway
I am currently in the UK and I bought my phone from abroad so I cannot get a warranty fix in the UK.
Please kindly help if you know the the problem is and please give me some advice.
Much appreciated. Thank you.

Very confused as to what happened to my favorite phone ever.
All was smooth, I fell asleep without charging it which was unusual. Woke up, phone is off & will not power up.
Plugged it up, still nothing.
Fast forward to now, I purchased a new battery (factory) & external wall charger thinking that was the prob b/c there were red dots on the little white battery circles (sorry but no clue what the official name for those are) but still absolutely nothing.
I have no clue what caused the original battery to get damaged/wet. Nothing was spilled, it wasn't dropped.
It's incredibly frustrating.
Now trying all the "push this button, hold that button" recovery tricks that I have combed through and it still will not do a thing whatsoever, zero reaction.
My g5 has officially left the building hasn't it?
So what, if anything, can I try at this point?
I've tried the volume down & power button combo, also tried the volume down wait see logo then press power button...etc...
Willing to try just about anything... I realllly love that rude ass phone!
Hey guys,
Something odd happened this morning and now I am sitting around with a $700 paperweight. Woke up and took the phone off of charge like I usually do and started to read the news. about 10 minutes in the screen and touch buttons froze so I decided to reboot the phone, To my surprise the phone never came back on.
I've tried VOL Down + Power for 30 seconds even longer out of desperation along with just the power button and VOL Up + power to no avail, The phone is dead, Simply dead. I just wanted to reach out to the community to see if I am just one of the lucky ones or if anyone else has had this happen to them?

I don't know which variant you have but look for the MSM download tool thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691
Have you tried volume up and volume down while you press the power button? Release only the power button when you feel a vibration. I got mine stuck with a black screen while I was tinkering. I know it's a different situation, but it's worth a shot. If it works, you'll end up in bootloader mode. Just use the volume keys to select reboot, and tap the power button to select it.
