Everythings been running fine on it since yesterday. Earlier, I turned on face recognition lock just to see how well it worked. First try was fine. Been sitting in my holster for a while and just pulled it out to use it. The lock screen was totally blank. I could pull my notification bar down but if I clicked on anything, ie, settings, nothing would happen. Volume button worked but none of the capacitive ones did anything. Tried to reboot, nothing. Held the power button to force a restart, it restarted but still nothing. Held it again for another restart and after the message, it turned off but instead of rebooting, nothing happened. I Power button does nothing. Plugging it in, no light comes on. It's totally dead. Any ideas at all? I sure hope this device is not this temperamental. With my good ole inspire, I would just pull the battery. I have no idea what to do with this one with a non removable battery. Please help.

My nexus s will not turn on at all. The power button had previously gotten stuck and I was able to fix it by taking the phone apart. He was removing and inserting the battery and the phone would automatically turn on using this method. Now the phone wont turn on, wont charge, and is not recognized. The only way I can get anything to happen is if I unplug the chip that says sandisk. The phone obviously doesn't boot, but pressing the power button actually gets me to the Google screen. Any advice? Also, if the memory chip was the problem, is there anyone that sells them? I can't seem to find the part in stock anywhere.

Can you get into Recovery?
Hi all!
This morning I turned off the alarm, at that moment I think I had around 30% battery.
One or two hours later I found the phone turned off, so I supposed the battery went away.
So I connected the wall charger and after a while then I tried to turn it on.
When I did that, Back, Home and the other key started to blink. I remembered that already happened once, so I tried to press volume down + turn on button (or I tried to press the turn on button alone). And I did it for 30 seconds.
The keys stopped blinking and the red light turned off. Nothing else happened, no screen, no lights...
I left the phone connected to the charger, without light. Then I tried to press the turn on button again for 30 seconds, and the red light appeared.
The thing is, if I disconnect the charger, the red light keeps on, unless I press the switch button for 30 seconds and it gets off.
I don't know what to do, I supposed that maybe it's a qhsusb_dload case, but I have no idea.
I appreciate any assistance on this!
Regards,
Dani
Leave it plugged in overnight (or many hours) and try again.

Thank you for this quick response!
Even if the red light keeps turned on without being connected to the charger? It never happened to me.
Should I try with volume-down + switch key?
Yeah just make sure you leave it on charge for a long time before trying to turn it on.
If that doesn't work, plug it into your pc and see what comes up in device manager.

I have tried connecting it to the computer but was not recognized, no new device, nothing.
Stop messing with it, and just leave it alone to charge for several hours.
Hi guys, thanks for the replies.
I left it charging all night, and tried a moment ago and still not working.
i find weird the thing that it has like "2 modes"
- red light turned on all time, even if it's not charging (I left it charging in this mode)
- red light off (now I'm charging it in this mode)
I can switch the light by pressing the volume down + power button for around 20 seconds.
I'm going to try charging it connected to the computer.

If you are trying to get into bootloader, you actually have to release the power button (after pressing it for a few seconds) while still holding volume down. Don't release volume down until you see the white bootloader screen (or you get tired of doing it, and decide its not working).
Also try to get into bootloader while the wall charger is plugged in. There was at least one guy that had a similar issue, and the phone would not power on no matter what he tried, until he tried bootloader with the charger connected. Weird, I know. But worth a try.
I left the phone charging all night long, and it's the same... nothing.
I would analyze if it's a QHSUSB_DLOAD case. I'm downloading ubuntu.
If it's not, I think I'm gonna dissasembly the phone and see if there's something disconnected.
Any ideas are welcome, later I'm going to upload a video.
What method did you use to try to power it on?

I have tried just pressing power button for 10 seconds, then I've tried pressing it for 30 seconds.
Then I've tried pressing volume down + power for a few seconds, then release the power while keeping volume down, for a couple of seconds. Nothing,
Then I've tried with 30 seconds and what I see is that the red light is switched off when I do this.
What worry me most is that the red light keeps on even with the charger disconnected.
Short video:
Short video showing that is not entering to fastboot
Long video:
Long video showing that is not entering to fastboot and the red light gets off
Hi guys,
I left the phone 10hs connected to the computer instead of the wall charger and today the red light is blinking.
I've read that is due a very low battery charge, but I've left it charging for 10hs or more, how could it be??
Is your pc recognising the device at all now?

I have the same problem but except my red light isn't on at all. I just connected to my PC again and it read it but still doesn't turn on.
That's a brick. You can try the unbrick evita thread or jtagg

Hi all, thanks for all the responses.
Which unbrick do you recommend???
Not you. Yours appears to be a battery or charging issue. Hardware.
The other guys is a brick.

Is there any other cause? Or it's sure that is a hardware issue?
I just want try to avoid sending the phone service, because it was unlocked.

I have tried connecting the phone to ubuntu and executed lsusb from terminal.
Listed a couple of usb devices but not the phone.
It's difficult to be certain that its hardware but typically the phone would return to its normal state after a long charge. I recall another person who was also not able to return his to a normal state in the sane situation as you and he had to send it out. Yours does not display the same qualities of a phone stuck in qdl mode.

My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.

Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.

I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots

I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.
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?

Sounds like you have a stuck power button.

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