Is my Moto G dead - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My Moto G LTE will not turn on. When I plug it in, the LED turns on and stays on, and I've been charging for a few hours. It still won't turn on no matter what I've tried, I've tried all common troubleshooting methods out there. It just shut off on me randomly and will not work anymore. I've searched a ton and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for any help!

Connect it to your computer to see if anything appears in your device manager.

I don't seem to be getting anything.

I was hoping that it would appear as a new device in the device manager so you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

Try holding the power button and volume down for about 2 mins (if not tried before that is), post results

[Q] Htc Sensation XE half-dead. Please help.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since i don't post anything here. I've recently bought a very cheap used Htc Sensation XE. But he came to me with this issues:
- It doesn't turn on.
- My notebook doesn't recognize it, when I connect it with a USB cable.
- When I connect it to the charger a orange led turned on, stood turned on for a few seconds, then turned off. Stood turned off for a few seconds the turned on again. This went on and on for a while, until the phone vibrated, then nothing else happened. If I remove the charger then put it back on, the process will repeat itself.
Has anyone been through this? I really need some help.
Thank you all for the attention!
Perfect friend, now just wait, the staff is very good here.

Okay. How long have you tried leaving the phone on charge?
Have you tried booting to bootlaoder?
Hold down Volume down + Power button.
If the bootloader screen is accessible, can we please know what it says?
I think he does not have access to the bootloader ...

The last time it stood 30 minutes on charge. I've tried booting into bootloader but it doesn't work. The phone won't even vibrate to indicate it is turning on

Check if that battery is a tight fit. If not, try putting in a piece of paper (like a business card) on the edge opposite to battery contacts.
Also, have you tried a different battery?
Get these drivers, install them and restart your PC.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then try connecting your phone to the PC.
Solved? But how?
In the exact same problem. Is your problem solved? In that case, how was it solved? I know it's an old thread, but seems the only hope. Someone please help!

its not the batt, but wrong flash files...

well now i going to buy new phone so..what happens happens..!
I wonder if service cable from Defy/RAZR would work on Moto G. It has connected pins in USB and bypassed battery in order to flash soft using RSD.
Does bootloader work on your device?

G has locked bootloader. It is difficult to brick it. I wouldnt give up. Still possible that battery is dead. I cant check myself but I would check if it's possible to measure voltage on battery. Anyway, you can still disassembly the phone good luck!

My Moto G Hard Bricked too while downgrading to 4.3!
The phone wont power on even holding power button or plugged in a charger.
My PC doesnt recognize it anymore, so i cant do flash-blank
Now it seems like a useless piece of plastic
It never happened with me with any Sony or Samsung phone that has passed by my hands.
I'm giving up of motorola......

plug it in and hold the power button for more than 2minutes. watch if the white led light is blinking. if it does leave the phone plugged in for 1hour and it will turn on.

The device turned on, thanks.
But I'm facing other problem :/
I did the flash-blank to restore bootloader, ok, but it says 'Device is LOCKED' even after flashing motoboot.img
So I can't flash boot.img, recovery.img or system.img
Tried to unlock bootloader again, but is give me: "fastboot oem unlock disabled!"
It's weird because when I type 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' he gives me other key than the first time I've unlocked it
My new questions is:
There's a way to force this bootloader to be unlocked?
Or how can I flash stock firmware with locked bootloader? (tried many firmwares, fastboot always says 'Perflash validation failed' for boot.img and 'Invalid signed image' for system.img and the devices says 'hab check failed for boot' | 'Invalid PIV signed system image'.
Can anyone save me from this hell?
UPDATE: After searching and reading so much in the web, i figured out that i wiped cid partition (yeah, i'm a douchebag) so i give up of try to fix my moto g and bought a new phone

Your battery might have ran out of charge.
Try charging it and turning it on again.
There is no way that just entering Bootloader mode could've bricked your device.
Cheers.

Power button doesn't turn on device unless you reseat battery

Hello geniuses!
I have a problem. I recently purchased a LG G3 unlocked from a seller on Swappa and the device appears to work however there is a funny glitch i recently discovered about this phone. Maybe its mine only. But heres what happens....
I boot into phone like normal, after a days use, and sometimes when preparing to switch cases and what not, i shut down the phone remove battery and clean the device sometimes.. I notice that if the phone is ON, and when i choose Reboot, The phone reboots fine. But if i choose POWER OFF.
The phone powers off, and when i try to boot it back up again, it doesnt let me, it just stays blank.. But the second i take out the battery, place it back in, and then push the power button once, it powers on fine.. What on earth is happening here?..... any idea? Please help.

Galaxy S6 won´t turn on (blue LED is flashing)

Hello guys,
when I woke up, my S6 was just flashing blue, while I charged it.
But it won´t turn on. I tried many different ways of holding the power buttons but nothing works.
I also can´t get a connection through ADB and fastboot.
A few seconds ago, I tried to reach the phone with the Anrdroid device manager of Google, but there is also nothing. It just says, that there is no connection, and the phone was last online yesteday(min. 7h ago).
Does anyone of you know, how to fix this?
Regards,
_v0id
Have you tried volume down and power button

It has no root atm and there was never a bootloop or something else.
It´s just off and it seems, that it´s pretty much broken. I tried again every button combination - nothing worked.
never mind, i just came from work, and the phone was a bit warm when I touched it. that is a bit confusing, because i thought it made no reaction.
Thread closed per OP request.
Solution: it was a manufacturing issue (some burned parts).
