Have you tried taking out the battery, reinserting it and then trying to turn it on?

You have three options left to try
1. Re insert the battery and charge your phone then try to restart
2. Try to reboot it in recovery mode
3. Send back your phone to claim warranty if its only 2 months old

Hi all. I have a big problem. I placed my phone onto my desk before sleeping (my battery was +/-55%). When I woke up my phone did not want to go on. I tried charging it for 3 hours with my 2 pin charger and it still didn't want to come on (the charging battery animation didn't even show). I also tried charging with the USB cable via PC but that didn't help. I used my multi-meter to check if the battery was working and it showed that it contains +/-3.4V (battery is rated 3.5V). I tried to boot up into recovery mode (volume down + home button + power button) but it still didn't come on
I bought my phone at the beginning of the year (brand new) and it has been working with no problems until today. I have essential data on my phone (phone book, messages, apps etc) which are really important and I wouldn't want to lose them. Help would be much appreciated.

But how can it get bricked out of the blue? Was working perfectly night before happened. The only app I installed was Angry Birds: Star Wars (officially from Play Google Market).
Hard to say. Phones (like any other electronics) can die for all kinds of obscure reasons.
Service centre or JTAG repair; if you choose the latter option (assuming it can be JTAG'd & it's not a hardware issue), you could ask the repairer if they can recover your data. Might be possible. Service centre will wipe it if it if it's not a hardware issue, and if it is, they'll replace the MB which means you get new internal storage/you'll lose your stuff.
LOL.
Its happened to me and its just a BUG...
you may have 100% of battery but the phone is showing like 50%(fake)
put the charger into the phone hold the bottom of the usb (the last piece .. of the charger) and move it
(move it when it's plugged into the phone

My phone not showing anything (even fake indicator). I did as you said: held and moved around the bottom of the USB (part plugged into phone), while the phone was charging (using 2-pin charger) but did nothing. I just tested my phone with a friend's S II battery and it didn't help
Have you tried a jig? I doubt it will work but it's worth a shot?

No I don't. I heard that there is a way to make your own 'jig'. Can it be done? and if so what are methods?
Just use the scroll feature on your mouse and youll find it.

Why make one? It costs < 5$ (even for 1$ in ebay) anyway. Worth a try.
Same Issue
I have the exact same issue with my i9100. I woke up and it was dead. No recovery mode, no download mode, nada...nothing comes up on screen. It has been a little buggy ever since the ICS update but it has always worked eventually. I put the battery into my friend's phone and his worked fine. I am really hoping somebody has answers and it is just not "dead". I never used a ROM or anything, it's killing me that a $500 can just die overnight like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If your phone is still under warranty, go to Samsung service center.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I can not believe that just happened overnight, the only possibility is that you put some of the room's, if you have a warranty on the device, you can send it to the service and just hope that they will accept it and serviced
Well I was taking a video and I stopped recording and the camera app froze and I couldn't get any response out of the buttons but the camera app still showed the camera and that was still working so the phone wasn't actually frozen. So to turn it off I held down the power and home button and the phone turned off. Ever since then my phone won't turn on. I've read so many forums and I've tried so much e.g soft reset, hard reset, download mode, upload mode, USB jig and nothing works. When I put the phone on charge the left side of the camera gets warm (not hot).
Samsung galaxy S2
Orange UK
Resurrection remix rom
I bought the phone on amazon so I can't send it to Samsung as I have no warranty and I'm also rooted.
The battery had 50% charge before dying
You can change the mother board but it will be costly. Do a JTAG Repair.

Any other ideas where I don't have to spend a lot of money. Also I haven't tried a new battery but I doubt that's the problem because the phone
froze before dying
you should try another fully charged battery first................usually when my phone freezes for some time and when i take off the battery and re insert............i usually lose 10-30% battery, sometimes more than 30%

Hello,
So last night I was using my optimus g, the notification that my battery was too low came up, and the phone shut off. After that I went to charge my phone and the usual red light did not come up around the power button and the phone will not charge. There is no water damage or sudden incident that could have caused this to happen. AT&T will not replace the phone due to a small scratch on the front of the screen done a couple months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get my phone to charge and turn on again??
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
have you tried to hold the power button down for like 10 seconds? try a different plug outlet and plug it in and see what happens
If you can't get it working then send it in to LG since AT&T won't help you.
Have you tried a different charger? Tried usb charging? Somewhere in this forum are instructions for removing the back case and battery. Two others had similar problems and removing the battery helped.

Yeah, I tried a lot of different chargers, USB charging and different outlets. I will have to try to remove the battery i guess. AT&T told me that I could not have LG repair it because it has a small crack in the bottom left that I made a couple months prior to this happening. Do you know how to get to the thread about removing the battery? I cant seem to find it =/
Anyone have any other ideas?
Here's the thread for accessing the battery btw.

If that doesn't do the trick then replacing the damaged portion of the phone and then claiming warranty would probably work, especially since it's already bricked and you don't have to worry too hard about it not turning on again after you reassemble it because again, it's already bricked probably a whole lot cheaper than buying a new one off contract.

The only problem is that the crack is on the front class screen, and I have heard that the screen is hard to replace
Before you open it up and go fiddling around on the inside, try these (in order):
1. Hold down your power button for at least 15 seconds.
2. Plug in your charger
3. (If that doesn't work) Use a different outlet/adapter.
4. If all else fails, try the 15 second power button thing and then connect it to your computer.
My Nook Tablet's display wouldn't work once and it took me the better part of a week to figure out that holding the power button down for 10+ seconds manually turns it off (I was a noob). (I then plugged it into my computer instead of the charger and it powered on!) A lot of people forget to try the simple things first...

Ok, let me rephrase that. A new one is $450. You can get a screen/digitizer for ~$85. I'm not a math whiz but to me the difficulty is worth saving that much cash.
download mode
it could be a software problem try going into download mode (holding vol down and power then plugging it in at the same time) it may take a couple trys but if you can get into that then it could possibly be a software issue maybe its a prob with bootloader if it is try useing some teenybins somthing similar happened to me i unlocked the bootloader and everthing got better post back if you can get into download mode
I too have started having problems charging this phone when it goes all the way down which it does fast usually listing android operating system or my screen as the main culprit....try booting to bl then recovery and clearing cache and dalvic....I use twrp recovery and there no battery stat wipe function but in rom toolbox pro there is although the merits of such is questionable.....I also used a battery calibration app recently and it seemed to help... I've also had to plug it up and just leave it for a while whether it's convenient or not it works....???
I've wondered about awesome kernel cleaning script... As well as some of the battery saving apps in conjunction with Eco mode and power saver function.... I've used juice defender ultimate for a while and recently battery guru from Qualcomm and Antutu but same crash today leaving phone down 2 hours plus easily not to mention getting stuck in power save popup warning viscious cycle of popping up every keystroke is gonna get this device slammed up against a wall and I don't want to replace it but any help on this also appreciated....

USB Cable
Have you tried another USB cable? :silly: I stopped using USB cords ever since my grandpa got a wireless charger (yes, my grandpa ) but you better be careful with those since not all of them are compatible with LG phones, check the reviews and device compatibility, mine is a Powermat 3X
im having the same problems too... using the latest cyanagen mod... the battery just doesnt hold the charges like it says and shuts off.. i need this phone as an alarm......

I have this problem now, and can't get it to work. Anybody figure it out?
So there seems to be a desease of optimuses
My phone was charging while I was sleeping, and I accidentaly putted my hand on my phone while I was sleeping, and the phone was seriusly hot! I got up, upluged the phone from the charger, let it cooldown, plug it in on another charger, the phone responded in the first place, but the red flashing light was coming up really quickly. I switched it of and on and now it is showing me the battery that is shown when the device is charging. Been doing this charge for like an hour or more, with varius attempts to switch it on but it still it wont switch on! Any tips or anything? I am going to leave it charging for a coupe of hours and see if I have any results...
My phone started having issues where it would randomly shut off and sometimes holding power for approx 20 seconds or so would turn it back on or other button combinations sometimes requiring me to force download mode. I have always been able to force it back on however previously when plugged into a charger the notification light wouldn't do anything.
It shut off yesterday and I have tried every combination of buttons for at least 30 seconds, including trying to force download mode with volume up and down and USB into computer and nothing. The difference this time every time I plug it in the notification light either is solid or pulsing rapidly and will not turn on or go to download mode.
Phone is rooted running paulicats aosp and has been since I got the phone 3 months ago, it was dropped in water the week I got the phone but was disassembled and cleaned that day with no issues until this last week.
Any help or input is greatly appreciated

Im currently using cyanogen mod 10.0 and have been for over 2 months now. I have not encountered any problems in the past. This morning I turned on my phone and started to listen to music, mid way through "origami" by capital cities, everything went black. I left my phone charging all night and it wont show any signs of power when I hold down the lock button or even the lock+volume down buttons. I hope this doesnt mean I need to Jtag my phone...
There are many reported DNA power failures, you should return it if you bought it first hand. Otherwise you will have to try to fix or replace it.

My Note stopped charging so i bought an external battery charger. I charged up the battery and put it in my phone. The phone worked fine for a day. Then i felt it vibrating in my pocket. I pulled the battery and put it back in. It would not start up. It goes to Samsung screen then turns off and continues to vibrate over and over til it's dead or I pull the battery. I have NO idea what to do with it. I bought a new battery but that didn't work. I really need to get it back working as my whole life is scheduled or saved on that phone. Please help. I am really a newbie at phones so I need help. Thanks so much

I tried taking a part the phone and gently cleaning the power button and surrounding area, but it had no affect. How difficult would it be to replace the power button?
Did you flick it? I think it needs a jolt
