Hey, i am new to xda, so i don't really know if this is the right category for this thread.
I am running Slimbean: Slim-i9300-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1322 (the newest stable version)
And i have dropped my phone several times, so my screen is broken and gone over the back button (it still works).
Anyways, i dropped today AGAIN out of my pocket, in a car, when i was about to shut the door, so the phone was smashed by the door. The screen didn't crack more then it already is, but it shut down, and now i cannot start it. I figured it was becouse it ran out of battery (i only had like 2-1% when this happened), so i plugged in my charger, and nothing happens.
Usually when i plug it in when the phone is dead, i get this grey battery icon on the screen wich freezes, but it works.
Now nothing happens, and when i try to start it, nothing happens except the little red motion sensor thing is blinking red once in like 5 secs.
Do i need to buy a new battery? Please help!
P.S. I know i'm not very good at english, but please help!

EDIT: When i plugged my charger in and let it charge for like 15 mins, the LED starts showing yellow (wich means it's 15%+ but not done charging).
And nothing happens when i tried to wake it up. But when i held the power button for like 3-4 secs, the yellow light disappears. It does not vibrate or anything that it use too.

So I'm having a really strange problem, and it seems like the phone is completely dead. This may be unrelated, but about 5 or so days ago, my camera stopped working, and in the week before the failure, it would make a clicking noise whenever I used it. Last night however, I woke up to my phone rebooting itself over and over. I didn't know what the problem was, and didn't want to deal with it, so I pulled the battery out (not while it was booting). This morning, when I woke up I could not get the phone to turn back on. I tried two different batteries, tried each alone, and each plugged in to AC as well. No response from the power button at all, nothing on the screen, no green LED flash, nothing. Heres the odd part: If I take the battery out, and plug it in to my PC, the green LED turns on, yet, the power button still does nothing.

same thing with my phone.. been looking for answers.. but nothing... did you find solution for this??
Yesterday, my phone fell (not very hard, onto a carpeted floor). I picked it up and put it in my pocket without looking.. When I went to check my phone, it was off. I tried to turn it on, but it would only go to the HTC screen, then the screen would go black but the home icons would be lit up. I took the battery out and let it sit for a couple of hours. Tried to put it back in and the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I put it on the charger, it turned red for about 5 seconds, turned off, then repeats. If I try to turn the phone on, the LED light blinks a very dim red for 2 seconds then stops. I can't even hold the volume button and the power button, it just blinks the dim red. As far as I know, it is not rooted. I got it second hand about a year ago after my phone got stolen. I have never had any problems with it other than the camera.. It just stopped working eventually. Help?
Anytime you drop the phone, even if it wasn't a hard hit, it can damage something on the main board, which could be your problem. However, since you say the led is very dim red, that is a sign that the battery itself is damaged and won't charge. I would try to get a cheap battery off ebay to see if that's the problem.
You probably damaged some micro vital componants on your motherboard which is preventing your device to function in a normal way.
must be motherboard, or some other chip
Hello!
Earlier tonight I received a text message and then my phone died - I knew the battery was nearly dead.
When I plugged it in, nothing happened - no orange LED like usual.
I let it sit for a while and still nothing.
Eventually I pulled the battery and put it back in and still won't power on.
Pulled the battery again (left it out), left the back cover off, and then plugged in the power.
After about 2 seconds the orange LED comes on for about 4 seconds and then turns off <---I've not seen any other posts mention this.
The phone will not boot still though - tried holding down power for 60 seconds, and even tried in conjunction with volume up and volume down.
The screen remains black, no vibration, no HTC logo .. nothing.
My wife has the same phone, so I put her battery in mine and it still will not boot.
My phone is NOT rooted or modified in any way (using stock VzW rom)
The screen is cracked but it's been that way for months and I've had an Otterbox on it ever since (go figure .. should have had one before it got broken). It's been working fine. It has not gotten wet today, or been sat on, or dropped or even looked at funny.
The phone is out of warranty and I do not have VzW accidental coverage.
Are there any more tricks to try, or should I go to the store tomorrow?
Thanks!
I am going to plug it into the computer and see if ADB will see it, but my assumption is no.
I'm thinking maybe the processor died... ???
I know if a PC processor dies then nothing happens when trying to boot .. no post beep or video.

Try charging the battery on your wifes phone then turning yours on and see if it works if the processors dead like you assume then well R.I.P Rezzy if you call verizon they will tell you to do a factory reset from the recovery maybe you could try that
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.

Can you try this?

and let it ring?
Hey fellows,
I had to replace the power button and everything worked fine for at least 5 days now, tested everything, reboot ,shut down, start up etc.
Only had to fixate the metal plate on which the Power botton sits with some Tape so it will not wiggle around to much, in end it only helped a small amount.
At opening the Phone i accidentally ripped a really really small piece of the Vol Down click off, only the half of the black clicker is left but totally click able and responsive, antering the Recovery mode and Download mode is working.
Now to my Issue:
When i went yesterday to bed my LG G5 had around 60% Battery power left. I woke up today tried to Knock On the Phone, no chance, so i though strange is the battery empty? I tried to start the Phone with the Power button and it vibrates an the LG Logo with Android beneath it appeared but shuts down after 2secs.
I grabbed my Charging Cable plugged it in and it says Battery 0% with the Lighting Symbol, here the Same happens as well, shows it for 1-2secs and turns off.
After that it shows me The different Battery with the Loading Symbole in it and does the same as well 1-2secs and shut down.
Download mode does the same, shows it for 1 sec and turns off again.
Recovery mode does the Same but sometimes i get to the second choice if i really want to wipe user data etc.
I took the Battery out, kept pressing the Power button 40sec+
Took the battery of the Modular and clipped it in without the Battery, after that it shows me a Battery with a red question mark on it, but the Display stays on.
I forgot to added, even if i keep charging it it says 0% and keeps on the same behavior. Only gets a bit warm nothing else.
Now is my Question is my Phone dead? Do i need to get a new one?
Has anyone a Idea what i could try?
I would really appreciate help with this.
I think your mainboard is dead . it's not a bootloop .
