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......
There's problems with fast charge for cm try turning it off its on by default

Same problem ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
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

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

My COMPLETELY STOCK DNA's battery died a few hours ago, so naturally i went to go plug it in. When i plug my device in, no LED's light up, and it wont boot at all. Ive tried multiple chargers/cables, tried charging via USB all to no avail. ive read a few threads on here where some can get the white HTC screen to flicker on for a moment, but i dont even get that. The phone was seriously powered off for less than 3 minutes. I also tried doing the Power+vol down hard reset, with no results... I purchased this device less than 3 months ago, and its been kept in pristine order (i treat my phones better than most mothers do newborn babies), so its under the HTC warranty, but i have no way to call them to file a claim and i cant seem to find any way to do that online. can ANYONE help me out please? I need my phone for work, and i feel as if im going to be without a device for a few days because of this :/
I had the exact same thing happened to my Nexus, I had to send it in for repairs. You should go to a Verizon store and show it to them
Plug it into the wall and let it charge it can take a while for the led light to indicate it's charging but it is.

Plug it in for about 10 to 15 minutes then while its charging, hold down the power button for 30 seconds. You should be good. You may have to hold the power button a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time..

Did you manage to find a fix same thing happened to my HTC one expect i was running cm10.1 the phone died and when i tried to charge it no led or anything i even left it charging over night and nothing from what im seeing this happens on a few htc devices only
Mine has died multiple times and the led blinks and then after 2 or 3 mind it stays solid and charges. I would let it sit but since you did that and it didn't work it had to be hardware related.

So, this happened to me, sent for a replacement. Got it in, and worked fine for a while then plugged it into my external battery and BLAM! same thing. No charge light, no response from buttons. no nothing.
OK so heres the deal i recently did s-off successfully then flashed cyanogen mod 10.2 w/ android 4.3 running on crpalmers kernel and everything was working great i loved it had it running for a week or so then today i woke up was on my way to work noticed my battery life was low and that was odd cause it was plugged in all night....then only 3-4 hours later noticed i had 10 percent which was obviously really strange seeing as i was gettin 16+ hours before and hadn't even touched the phone today. So to save my battery to call my wife on my drive home i shut my phone off only to find later in the day i cant turn it back on....nothing....not even the tiniest flicker of an LED. Ive plugged it in to 2 different chargers usb on my PC and nothing!!!!! does ANYONE have ANY idea wtf happened I know phones brick and i accepted that risk but to work a week then just randomly brick itself??? is that common? PLEASE any help I don't wanna pay a deductible for a new one

yea tried that...held down power button alone...then power button and volume down...then power button volume up...then power button both up and down and nothing....
Try leaving it plugged in overnight and see what happens. The things you described shouldn't result in a brick if you followed the directions.
Ill give it a shot and see.how just leaving it plugged in works out...i have nothing to lose at this point.......yes i broke my lg revolution out of retirement lmao

Try a different cord. If a new cord fixes it, call htc. They will send a replacement charger at no cost once.

I was using my phone earlier, and everything was normal. I put it in my pocket when using my computer, but when I pulled it out to use it, the device was off. I pressed the power button. Nothing. Held the power button down. Nothing. Held the power button + volume down. Nothing, again.
The phone was fully charged three hours ago when I unplugged it, and when I plug it in now there are no lights turning on.
I'm incredible confused and a bit scared. Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do?

Plug it in either to an outlet or the USB on your pc (I cant remember which) and hold the power button down until it comes back to life... Should work
What Rom and kernel are you running and are you overclocking?

I'm using crDroid AOSP with cpalmer's kernel. No overclock or anything. I've had it for days without any problems.
And I have it plugged it, but nothing happens when I hold power button.

Try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it if your comfortable with opening the phone it worked for someone else with this issue where the dna magically died.

I'm a little afraid to try and open it in fear of damaging it more
But I also don't think I could open it since I don't have much in terms of tools.
Make sure you are holding the power button for at least 30 seconds. IF that doesn't work, try power and volume down for 30 seconds. If that doesn't work, leave on the charger for an hour, then try again, both plugged in, and unplugged

Tried all of those with no luck...
I'm upset that this even happened. What could possibly cause the battery to just go dead like this?
Return it or get a replacement, there have been quite a few reports of battery / no power issues.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Most of them just reset the battery by disconnecting it and reconnecting it. I'm sure there is a way to reset it with a combination of buttons. Maybe go call htc the support is actually really good I haven't had any bad interactions with them in the 2 instances I called. This should also be covered on the year warranty and they should replace it for free since it has not been a year yet. I would call.

It was a hardware failure, they'll probably send it back to HTC for refurbishment or recycling. It's unlikely that they will find out that you rooted it.

If you can't turn it on they can't so I guess no one will know.

Im having the same issue and I have opened it up already, well they replace then and there so they dont check it or do they send it out and you wait. I bought this back in August 4 so only about 2 months old. I didnt get insurance because I got it thru Best Buy and they dicked me over there. So i cant use Best Buy and was wondering can i even go thru Verizon for this?

well you did open it up, and they might find that out; pretty sure that will void the warranty. unless you are able to mend it back up. i screwed up my first dna and got a replacement since it wouldnt turn back on and they never found out
Verizon sent me a refurbished one and I sent in the broken one. It wasn't through insurance.

I am having this exact issue with my Droid DNA. The circumstances are exactly the same. Two weeks ago, I stuck my phone into my pocket, took it out five minutes later and the device was off. Since then, Everything I've tried to get it to turn on has not worked. I even got a replacement battery however nothing.
When on the charger, all it does is blink the red light no matter how long I leave it on. I'm desperate as this phone is a second hand purchase and not on warranty. Also, I live in the Caribbean so I don't have many options for getting it fixed/replaced. I've tried every button combination, searched many forums and tried many suggestions.
Is there anybody who may have ANY other ideas to get this phone to work?
The phone is not rooted.
Verizon doesn't care if its soff and htc don'ts care. Verizon just isn't allowed to give you service if they know if soff.
