I have a T-mobile LG Optimus L9 that is about 14 months old and it went dead yesterday. I plugged the USB cable to the phone to my phone last night to recharge it before I went to sleep and noticed that the screen didn't turn on. I didn't think much of it and went to sleep.
This morning I tried to turn it on by pressing the power button and nothing works. I tried my wife's full battery (she has the same phone) and it didn't work either.
I connected my phone to my PC with a USB cable and my PC did nothing when it was connected...
I took the battery out for 2 hours and tried again didn't work... tried hard reset by pressing volume down+home+power button for 10 seconds... didn't work.
I don't know why I'm having this problem... I didn't drop the phone or anything like that yesterday. It just suddenly went dead and it's out of the 1 yr warranty period.
Anyone have any idea? and how much would it cost to fix it?

Hallo
My uncle has an Desire X and since a few days ago it suddenly stopped working. He turned off the phone and now it won't turn on anymore. He gave it to me so I could try to fix it.
Things I've tried:
Charged it for an hour. (LED turns on)
Removed the battery for a about ten minutes.
Connected it to the pc. (LED turns on)
Tried turning the phone on connected to the charger without a battery
Tried going into bootloader by pressing volume down+power button
Any other things I can try?
Btw the phone has no warranty and as far I know it hasn't been dropped.

You might have already tried it but what happens if you press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds?
I held it for for about 30 seconds.
I put in another battery that didn't work either so I'm just going to give up and give it back to my uncle.
Thanks for the reply's!

Same issue with my htc desire xc
Okay so I have my Samsung Galaxy S3 for about 2 years now and it's having a lot of problems for the past few months. At first it had the sudden death syndrome (when it suddenly shuts down and having that boot cycle on the Samsung logo) and now it's fine. But 4 days ago I was sleeping and forgot to charge my phone. When I woke up and plugged in the charger it was charging just fine. When the battery indicator shows 100% I tried to turn it on and nothing happen. Just nothing. I plugged in the charger back and still nothing. The screen was completely black. No vibrations. I tried to go into the recovery mode and I can't. I've googled some ways including taking the battery out, pressing the power button for a minute and put the battery back in. Still nothing. I've tried like ALL WAYS to turn it back on. I took my battery and put it in my sister's phone and it worked just fine. So I know it's the hardware problem and I know it's not the power button too because I tried to turn it on by using the charger (plug in the charger and pressing the volume down and home button) and still nothing. I don't know what to do because I have so many things in my phone and I don't want to do any factory reset (if possible) by sending it for repair. But if I still have some options please tell me otherwise I have to get a new phone although I really need my old phone back. Thanks.

Does download mode work? If yes have you tried to flash a stock firmware?
Usb jig or repair centre, given the other problems you're best off getting a new phone.
Hi I'm really hoping someone can help me. I received a Sony z2 tablet spg521. I was told it was new but it would not power on or charge, and the charge light would sometimes blink red. Well I got the fixed or so I thought by doing a soft reset and then pc companion...sounded simple but spent a couple days trying to be successful. Sometimes my computer would recognize it sometimes it wouldn't.... Any way I finally got it out the blue dont know what the difference was I was just happy it finally worked... I then fully charged...yadayada and used it flawlessly for about a week... It would turn on and off, battery held charge like its supposed to, everything seemed to work.....then I went to power off but hit the restart by mistake....no there is no power again and this time it will not do a soft reboot.....no light ever....computer will not recognize ever....I have been trying off and on for a few days.....among-est my research to try to correct it seems like this is very common....when i shut it off the battery was over 50%..so how can something work fine then just die like this??? Ive seen that sometimes with sony if you disconnect the battery and the reconnect this will work... does anyone know? does anyone have any advice before I take apart this cherry tablet to try the battery thing???
I would really appreciate any insight as I have fixed many of my own problems and for others from advice on this site. Have a wonderful day and thank you!!! :silly:
ok today i tried to use flash-tool that Ive read about on this site....when it asked to plug n device computer recognized it and red light came on, but flash-tool did not recognize it....torn between letting it set and seeing what happens or trying to get the flash-tool to work, I chose the flash-tool...bad mistake when I went to try to reconnect and see if the FT would see it..it was no longer recognized by the computer and no light but computer did say USB device not recognized and not installed correctly.....now I already have the right drives so now Im really confused..tried a couple more times with same results and then once again nothing...no light no soft reset no recognized at all by computer not even not recognize USB....so disappointing loved the tab but this is insane that sony does this as its not user error but sony error and they dont even man-up and try to make it like you dumb or something....will try again..when i calm...
reset the device by pressing power+volume(up or down) for several seconds. It seems like a toasted one, possibly caused by putting magnetic charger on wrong polarity.
Thank you yes Ive tried all kinds of resets I have found...I agree seems fried but I would not know how. I have not used a magnetic charger...only the regular sony one that came with it....
So last few days I have tried off and on again....now computer recognizes by making noise when connected and disconnected but does not show up...PCC does not recognize it.....flashtool says its connected in log but when it asks for it to be plugged in it never leaves the screen telling you how to connect....when I try to connect the charge light comes on for about 4-5 secs then turns off....still no vibrate when try to reset still no light when plugged to a charger.....I want to get another one but I am scared this will happen again....gonna chuck this one as if time is money then I have well exceed the worth in time... I only got this because some time ago a sony z1 came my way and I so love it...i recently upgraded to z3.....i have a lg pad but screen got broke so I got the sony tab....maybe Ill just fix the lg

Mine is kinda toasted and this is how it works. Whenever I have a problem, I have to reset by pressing power + volume up, as soon as I hear three vibrations, I turn it on by pressing power button. Otherwise this tablet will just repeat sony logo and no boot. If you have bought one "NEW" make sure to return or replace it. If you want to enter fastboot mode, repeat the resetting routine and pressing power button to turn on, but also right after that or even simultaneously press volume up to enter fastboot mode with usb cable inserted, or volume down to enter flash mode. either way, your unit is toasted and sony sucks.
Well, I have the same problem, and isn't fun. Just very extreme rare cases it turns on the screen charging the battery, but doesn't turn on sadly
I did a happy boot today after 3-4 months off with several times trying turn it on, and did all the tricks from all treats about SOD
Last weekend I did a full charge from deep red to green light and battery animation on screen at start, but no luck.
I put it back in the box
This weekend I got some visitors, one of them asked about the tab, told him it didn't work and showed to him
Pressed the power button and to my WERY BIG surprise, it vibrate and turned on as nothing was wrong
The battery was only 54% after one week off. it received a update (264) and I installed as normal, turned off and on again as normal and happy I was

I updated and set up the phone yesterday after ordering eGlobal Central and left it on charge for a couple of hours last night and now I have the black screen of death I've tried holding the volume down key and power button down together to see if it does anything to restart the phone but no luck at all! Has anyone had this experience before? It was working perfectly last night after I had it out of the box. Is it still classed as DOA even though it worked for 4-5 hours? I've tried to connect it to my PC but nothing is being detected in device manager too :crying:
Hi guys, so I recently came across my old phone and just remembered all the things I had on it. However when I try to switch the phone on, nothing happens. I've left it on charge for a few hours and still nothing. I tried to turn it on again (even during the charging process) and still nothing. I then gave it the old soft/hard reset by holding down the power+volume down button for 15 secs, nothing. Then held down all the buttons....nothing, no vibration, no form of life whatsoever.
When I plug it into the PC, the sound of a device being connected plays, then the disconnect sound follows about 3 seconds after. I tried the soft reset method when I plugged it into the PC and after about 10 secs, the same sounds played as if my computer had detected a device but then disconnected it. This must mean there's some sort of life in the phone right? Any chance anyone knows a solution to this?
Charged it for about 4 days, still no sign of it turning on!
After charging, press and hold Vol-down and On/off buttons together for a longer time. It should vibrate and switch on.
Best regards,
Joachim
