Put it to charge for a while, then while still connected to the AC charger, turn it on.

When it goes blank after the Google logo, does it reboot and show the Google logo again, and does this repeatly? When the phone is off, hold down the POWER button and the VOLUME Down button at the same time to get into boot loader. Can you get there?

install sdk, run monitor - if you see it doing stuff in the monitor window, then its not bricked. it either needs to be reflashed or wiped from recovery. good luck!

I'm sorry but I CANNOT switch it on.... my NS doesn't answer to any push on any button.....
So I don't see no logo, or else.....
Dead Nexus S, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842229
Send it back for repair. All your data is gone though, hope you have backup.

How about the basics:
Pull the battery, charge it for an hour or so... boot in either recovery or boot loader screen instead of just powering up.
If u get one of the above screens then ur fine.
If none of that works, then follow the link from previous post
Good luck

[Q] Softbricked nexus S?

Hello XDA-community,
I got a nexus s, i rooted the phone and got a custum rom up and running.
then i decieded to flash a new kernel.
Once done, i rebooted my phone.
The screen turns on, but stays all black,
I cant boot into recovery (volume up + power)
If let the phone on for 10 mins to see if it boots up, but nothing, i tried to dial my number on a other phone but got me straight to voicemail.
If i put the phone on the charger the screen turns on, But stays all black too.
I searched xda and other sites but could not find a solution, help appreciated.
What is your ROM and kernel combo? Do you have any other kernels you can flash? Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed that kernel?

I cant flash anything thats the problem,
i had cm9.1 on it : downloaded from cyanomod website.
Android started up, everything was working, but i wanted to flash a other kernel: TNS132-JB-ALPHA12 found on ( i cant post links becouse i am a new user)
got a new problem: screen wont turn on at all only when i put the phone on the charger it turns on, but all i see is a black screen.
I have not made a backup whatsoever, i even didnt clear cache when installing new kernel.
I know i am a totally noob, its becouse i have owned a hd2 and i could do anything with that device wich was unbrickable.
the first mistake was not reading here for 4 or 5 days
prior to jacking your phone up
since you probably need your phone befor that...
pull the battery
put it back
hold vol. up and hit the power button
boot to recovery
reflash the rom you had working
now
rectify the first mistake...
By the looks of it you've flashed a Jellybean kernel on an ICS ROM.

You need to use adb to push an ICS compatible kernel on to your phone, then flash it. Like someone said earlier, your kernel is meant for jellybean (android 4.1), and your ROM is based off of ice cream sandwich (android 4.0). If you've never used adb, look up a guide here in the nexus s forums on xda, I'd link you but I'm on the mobile app so I cant.

[Q] Nexus S Brick - Any hope of recovery?

Hey everyone,
I've recently had a lot of trouble with my old S. I randomly lost root, which caused my phone to go into a boot loop. After multiple attempts to reflash to another ROM, it just wasn't going. I decided to go back to square one and flash back to stock. It seemed to have completed, rebooted, then stuck on the Google logo with lock icon for a good 15 minutes. I did a battery pull, and now it won't even power on. I connected it via USB, and it does have some life in it - however Windows only recognizes it as "Unknown Device", instead of being in ADB or fastboot. I tried installing the USB drivers to it, but no go.
Is it curtains for my little friend? Cheers!
Do you have Nexus root toolkit (free windows app). And can you power up to boot loader?

I do have the root toolkit, however I cannot power up to the boot loader. The phone is 100% a brick besides from the response on the PC when I connect it via USB.
My computer won't recognize my phone at all unless I have it turned on..
Does it even give you a charging animation?

Pull the battery and sim out and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, reinstall battery (sim is not required) and try to boot it into bootloader if successful connect to toolkit and let the toolkit flash to stock..
if it won't go to bootloader, try booting normally and feel if it has that small vibration at the start... or will boot to logo/system..
If you can boot up fully don't turn it off/pull battery, make sure you are set up for debugging and let the toolkit flash to stock..
If you get only to the logo wait a couple minutes and see if it reverts to bootloader/recovery.. connect to toolkit and flash to stock..
If you only get a vibration and no screen, it may be screen related??? (only a slight maybe)
Fingers crossed for you and your Nexus S..

having problems :/

my infuse wont turn on on anything except when I plug the charger in it shows the battery icon then shows the cyanogenmod icon the keeps doing that I cant get into download mode either so if someone can help me id appreciate it

when you put the battery the phone auto turns on?
when it reboots it vibrates everytime?
Connect your phone to charger once it vibrates for the first time when you boot into recovery mode.
And do you have root access?
Guys did you solve this issue?
facing the same

2 years passed... this brings some memories
yeah basically your power button is broken, just think about it. Think that your power button is always being pressed, that explains why it keeps rebooting and it autoboots. Just go to a service to request button change, shouldn't be expensive. Or you could try inspecting it yourself, maybe just some dust got in (usually its dirty there)

Dear shadowsDie
Thank you
I did all you mentioned above about power key and found it perfectly working.
After checking it the phone doesn't start itself.
But when i start it stuck in the first screen with yellow triangle for some time then it power Off and start automatically repeating the same steps.
I went to recovery mode and made factory rest and wiped every thing
and when trying to flash CWM.md5.trebon it say
Installation aborted
Then i tried another version of CWM using Odin it passed successfully
But when it reboot it stuck again
What can i do

buddy, you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
you should to whatever you can so you flash stock using odin, by stock i mean EVERYTHING including bootloader, recovery etc.
if odin gives you error, try to find out if its because of your phone or your pc, as odin tends to give a lot of errors based on drivers and usb ports.
in the case neither a full wipe on the system and all partition works, its totally a hardware issue.
honestly im pretty sure now that its a hardware thing, but the least i can do is to make you try the full wipe
edit: forgot to tell you about the power button.
if you say it didnt autobooted after checking it still could be the button, as when you powered the device up you still used the button which probably got stuck again and continued his buggy purpose.
to fix that , you should follow something like this www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs but specifically for the ace plus. I dont know if its connected or soldiered because i no longer have the device so cant help you here
