Hi,
My phone recently just switched itself off and won't turn back on, I've tried charging, tried plugging into the computer, tried the volume down + power button reset etc and nothing happens, the phone seems totally dead.
I remember one of my old Samsung's used to work if plugged into the charger without a battery in the phone... does anyone know if disconnect the battery from the A8, would it still power up when connected to the charger?

hi there,
my xoom suddenly power off, even i press both vol up+ down and power, but still not working...
then i plug in the charger and it can power up, but once i unplug the charger, it shut off immediately....
now i can only power up by plug in the charger, and even so my battery cannot show in charing mode. it looks like the battery is not functional, the power source is only from the charger line. what can I do? I am living in hong kong and my Xoom is from Verizon US
need more details! Can you get into recovery? ADB see your device whatabout RSD?
maybe u can take it to service centre n call them to exchange ur battry?
i can do anything with only the charger plug in...
maybe my Xoom battery really has issue, before this issue to happen, my battery will dropped even i am not using it. (ipad is not like this)
Hi, All,
I was charging my phone in my car using the original charger cable but the car charger was not OEM. At some point, the phone stopped charging and it was still on. By the time I reached my destination, the battery died out and the phone switched off and hasn't switched back on ever since. I think the charger slot has stopped working.
1. Could that be it? Will a simple charger-slot change fix my phone? Or could it be something serious (motherboard, battery, etc)? I personally think that it could be the charger slot since the battery died out and then the phone switched off and it wasn't abrupt—which would be the case if there was an issue with the motherboard.
2. If it is bad news, is there any way to access my data? I have some important documents and photos in the phone that I don't want to lose so any way to extract the data from the phone would be useful.
I tried holding vol up + power button, tried connecting the USB cable to PC and switch it on, tried leaving it on charge for 4 - 5 hours and tried switching on, but all in vain. However, if I connect it to the charger and leave it on, the camera part will get heated up. The LED light indicating that the phone is charging will not light up though.
Do let me know if you guys have seen a similar issue. TIA!
Bump
I forgot to charge my Gear S2 last night so it made it about 37 hours'ish and now after completely dying my charger does not recognize the S2 when being placed on there. No lights on the charger turn on, not able to hold power button to turn watch on... kindof at a loss as to what i can do...
in case this happens to you... try setting the watch down on the charger and if the light turns red holding the power button until it comes on then hit and hold the power button again to turn it off. It made my charger stay on for some reason.
Are you trying with the original USB cable? I once tried with a generic one and didn't work, then I tried a lg USB cable, and didn't work either..
Maybe is just that
I went to sleep last night with a Pixel 3 that worked perfectly well and woke up to a Pixel 3 that won't charge or turn on. I've tried two chargers with different USB cables and nothing changed. I'm running stock Android with a locked bootloader. Holding the power button for 20 seconds does nothing and I also get nothing from holding the power button plus volume down.
Did you check it was charging the night before? Try restart the phone when it's plugged in, and see if that enables it; if it does, it probably needs the usb interface replaced. Also wipe out the USB-C port from any dirt or dust. If it's hard to charge or any usb interfacing things don't work, it probably needs the USB-C port replacement. There is also 'wifi charging' but if you don't have access to one already I would say it's a waste of money to get.
Same and for me, doesn't charge and turn on by holding power button. If I'm pluging it to PC there is a sound from Windows of connected device and CODE 10 on device manager for ADB. My PIXEL 3 is from Verzion, and bootlocked...
Hi there.
So i tried to connect my Y700 to my Dell U4320Q to see how the PC mode will look like. All i got is a replica of the display on my big screen, and then it kinda turned off.
Now, it won't turn on again... Pressing the Power button for a very long time doesn't make it turn on again. No reaction at all, not even a vibration.
I maybe fried it with the Power Delivery being too strong?
I plugged the original charger, with an USB power meter, and it did charge with a decent speed. So the power section seems to be alive still.
Not sure what happened, but it's scary. Brand new expensive tablet and dead already just by plugging an external display on the USB C port?
Anyone knows how to eventually factory reset it? Or enter recovery mode?
i'm updating my own thread with an own answer.
So as said before, i plugged my Y700 to my Dell U4320Q using USB-C and this has killed the tablet.
Actually, it did not kill it, but it hanged in such a way that it was impossible to reboot it. Even long press on Power button did not help.
So i hoped that it indeed just hanged (it was still responding to adb commands, but since USB debug was not active, i couldn't do anything with it, not even an adb reboot), so i decided to try to deplete the battery by connecting it to another USB-C display that doesn't have battery or power supply (taking power only from the connected device).
This indeed depleted the battery in two days. Then when i tried to turn it on with power button, it did vibrate and show battery empty logo on screen! First sign of life since i connected to my main display.
So i just charged the battery again, and boom, tablet is back to life!
So happy now
