My phone's battery just died. It made the power off sound, but when I looked at the screen, it was still on the home screen. I took out the battery and tried turning it back on. Now when I put the battery in, and hit the power button, no matter if the phone is plugged in or not, the LG logo comes up and the lights on the buttons blink 3 times. It just stays like this and won't turn on! I've also tried a hard reset, but the same thing happens (logo and button blinks). Any suggestions?
Thanks,

My phone hung this morningso I poked the hole at the back and asumed the soft reset would work OK.
After lunch I looked and found it on the splash screen.
I have tried leaving the battery out and removing the memory card
but still no joy. It starts up, I get the HTC splash screen with red writing with ROM details (PK3.0) the red writing goes leaving just the splash screen and thats it.
The power light (round the joystick) does NOT come on at all - even with the power lead plugged in, unless I remove the battery - in which case it comes on solid red.
Holding the power button does not turn the device off.
Taking the battery out to turn off then putting battery in and connecting charger has resulted in an orange charge light but if I turn on the device the charge light goes off.
Any ideas?
My only idea is the same old story... try hard resetting the device. Volume slider DOWN and soft reset hole
I'm very much new to this, so please take it easy on the terminology, and insults.. :/ Just to be clear ive never rooted this phone or flashed it or anything like that.
I was using my phone and the battery ran really low and it died. I went to turn it on, and it wouldn't turn on, so i charged the battery for a good hour. I press the power button and it vibrates, but the screen stays black.
after that i tried doing a hard reset, so with the phone in that black screen, i took the battery out so it would turn off. Put it back in, followed the instructions for hard reset from the VZW website (without turning the phone on, because i'm still unable to do so), and nothing happened at all. I gave it a couple tries and still nothing.
Then i took the battery out, put it back in, pressed the power button. I felt it vibrate again like last time. So in this post-vibrate state, without removing the battery, while the screen is still black with no power on, i did the hard reset. It vibrated and then now the 4 touch buttons at the screen illuminated, and the backlight turned on, but the screen itself was still black.
can anyone help me out??

When the phone is completely off. Battery pull. When holding down (Vol Down + Power). Does the HBOOT (white screen) appear or is it still black?

Do you get anything when you plug it into a computer? Any new devices that the computer sees? If not. Need to bring it to the Verizon store bud :/

awwww, well thanks for trying anyways.. :/
I would say go to tje Verizon store and have them charge your battery. If it takes a charge and powers on then it prolly your port.

Hello everyone,
I got a question. Yesterday, my phone shutdown do to no more battery. Once I got home (about 1h30 after), I plug-it into my computer for a good slow charge. I noticed the led was blinking red instead of staying on, but I though it was due to critical low battery. After 3 hours, still the same. I try to open it but nothing happened. Then, I noticed that when I touch the screen or button, the phone vibrate.
I then unplug and try again, same thing. I try plug into the wall charger, samething.
Then I proceed to hold the power button for 5 seconds. All three touch button start flashing and stayed on, but no joy, still vibrate when touching anything with screen turn off (not just no backlight, no image at all).
I manage to found out that holding the button nearly 10 seconds, it force a reboot and then was OK and charged at 70%.
I'm wondering what's the deal here. Is it a problem with the stock rooted rom?
Thanks

Last night I was using my phone to take pictures. I put my phone in my pocket and it still had >80% battery life. I took it out about 20 minutes later and it was just completely dead, no response to buttons, no buttons worked, etc.
When I came home I plugged it in figuring the battery must have somehow died, but now I'm getting a red light blinking. I let it charge for some time now (over 5 hours) but it still won't turn on. I also tried the "hold both volume and power buttons" trick but the red light just stops blinking and starts again.
Any ideas?
Update: Now plugging it in does nothing. No light of any kind.
Hi All,
I was out a couple of days back and my battery died. No trouble, come back home and charge it up. Worth noting that in recent months battery performance has been poor with a full charge only lasting about 8hours or so. I put this down to a new ROM I flashed as well as natural deterioration (18 month old S3).
Plug into the wall, red charging LED comes on, but the battery splash screen does not. Tried another charger...same. Thinking nothing of it I go to bed and wake up next morning to be greeted by a green charging LED. However, still no battery splash screen. I try to boot...it doesn't. When I "power on" the bottom LED buttons do light up white and go off after a few seconds. When I press the hold button again, they also come on for a few seconds. If i press the hold button while the button LEDs are on, they go off.
This makes me think the screen has broken as both the hold button and the charging LED is doing what it would do...but without any screen activity. However, it was not dropped or put under any pressure in any way. I have opened it up and also made sure the ribbon is undamaged and connected properly. I have tried calling the phone to no avail. It also does not vibrate or make any noises. Perhaps the battery doesn't have enough juice? Its as if its on the battery splash screen, I just cant see it.
I should mention the screen is infact cracked from an incident about 6-8 months ago. It was however, fully functional. Presumably, this will unfortunately stop me from sending it in. It was also using a flashed rom (CM11) and a flashed kernal (Boeffla).
I used a multimeter and measured 3.96v across the battery so that's fine. I can't test the current as I cant break into the S3 circuit and I dont have a resistor on hand to put some load on it.
Next steps?

Try to put it in odin mode (power+vol down+home then press vol up to agree that you are now in odin mode). You should see it in odin.
If you dont see it, your battery or energy system of your phone is broken. Otherwise your screen is probably broken?.

I've managed to get it into download mode and too show up in odin. I can also get it to show the files in Windows if i wait after holding the power button.
This all indicates it is in fact booting up and the screen is broken...
...BUT...no sound...no vibration...and no calls received
Its as if its only half on. Beginning to suspect a catastophic motherboard failure. Is it possible the battery is at fault? Its as if a whole power rail providing for the phone receiver, loudspeaker, vibrator and screen has gone.
