My LG Zero is dead...kinda - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yesterday the LG zero got dropped in the toilet and died. Then my brother took it apart and cleaned everything and it got back to life! But it's not over yet! Then it died again. I plugged it on the wall charger and a charging screen appeared saying 0%. Left it for a while but doesn't seem to wake up. The screen doesn't turn on,however i can feel the vibration when i hold the power button.In addition when i plug it on my computer,i can transfer files.At the moment of writing,it's plugged on a wall charger and there's a red light on the top right corner. Is there any easy fix or it's a hardware issue?

[Q] Atrix Not Powering Up

I let my battery die off this morning til I got home. I plugged it into the wall and tried to boot up. I got the green light to flash but then nothing. I pulled the battery out and even left it charging for a few hours. Still, the phone does not power up. The green light turns on for a bit and then off. I haven't done any mods to the phone...
Any idea what is going on? Or perhaps how I can fix this? Any help would be great.
Weird. I had it plugged in my Energizer Ps3 controller stand (it has two usb outputs) which was giving me the issue before. I finally plugged it in to the wall and it boot up fine. I guess the PS3 stand may be faulty...

Use the charger that came with your phone.
If you do a google search, you will see that the droid x and droid 2 also have this same issue.
next time it happens, pull the batter and SD card. wait a minute or two, put in the sdcard and battery, then plug in the WALL charger. It will power on the phone and boot it up.
has happend to me twice - so now i just never turn off my phone rebooting it is also touch n go to be honest... the phone is sooo sensitive!
The phone's not sensitive...it requires an 800mA charger (0.8A). If you connect it to something less it doesn't have enough power to charge the device. If you let it sit long enough it *WILL* charge it...but it'll probably take a day to have enough juice to start up. If you let the battery drain completely it usually won't turn on until there's like 15% or more battery charged. Charging 15% battery on a 400mA charger (which could very well be the level your PS3 charging stand outputs) would probably take like 7 hours.
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I'm sorry for the bump, but this has happened to my mother's Atrix that I gave her just 2 days ago.
She found it turned off, wouldn't power. I figured it wasn't charged so I'm trying to charge it on the wall adapter that it came with but no green light. I've put it on my laptop and the green light appears.
It's not turning on though...can someone reassure me that if the light turns on, it WILL power eventually?
Same problem here

hello man, i have the same problem you have, did you find out something useful???

[Q] Intermittent power - hardware problem

Got a problem that I am hoping someone else knows how to solve:
Device: AT&T Atrix 4G stock 2.3.4 rooted (BL still locked)
Issue: Phone will not turn on or charge
Symptomshone suddenly turned off during a phone conversation the other day and now it will not turn on or charge. I noticed the phone was pretty hot when this occurred. Nothing happens when I hold the power button.I tried a new battery and same result. If I plug the moto charger in about half way I can get the green LED to come on but pushing in the rest of the way and it goes off and does not show battery image or moto screen. Plugging the phone into a PC causes a solid green LED. I have tried with a different charger (5.0V 2.1A) and same result as moto charger. If I plug in charger and then add battery and then hold power button it consistently will try to turn on (green led,screen powers up, and moto image for a second) and then it shuts off. I did this a bunch of times and noticed upper left corner of Phone getting warm (where the headphone jack is). I opened then phone up and didn't see any obvious problems. I bent a couple of the large spring pins around the headphone jack out for better connection and reassembled phone. Then it powered up like normal overnight but has been shutting off randomly. I was able to remove battery to get it to boot back up for a couple days but now it is dead again.
Any ideas? I am pretty sure I have a hardware or electrical connection problem. I really appreciated any guidance. Thanks.

[XP] Phone won't start (dead?)

hi, i'm unable to start my phone. all of a sudden it turned off while being on charger.
The LED now lights dim red (if on charger) and does nothing. Pressing any side buttons do nothing, just the led still lights dim red. Plugging off charger cable doesn't make any difference just the LED turns off.
Can this be due to battery not charging? It has power off shortly ago due full discharge. I plugged in charger, phone turned on for a while indicating charging by LED bright red. Phone was awake about several minutes, then this sudden die.
Any help is highly apreciated.
have you already long pressed the power button until the phone vibrates?
It was solved! The phone kicked in 30 minutes after, now behaves normal.
Anyway curious why the phone didn't start so long. Tho discharged it had power supply.
I replaced battery recently, so maybe a bad contact or the cord dropped out?

2 resets in last 4 days. Is this normal?

Had the phone for less than a month with no hiccups.
Three days ago, when the phone was low on battery (30%) it suddenly shut off (or seemed to). Wasn't responding to being plugged into a charger (no led) or pressing the power button. Pressed the off/reset button beneath the SD card cover and was back up and running.
Plugged phone in last night and woke up to it with the red LED on this time and otherwise unresponsive. The back of the phone was warm. Pressed the off/reset button and I'm up again.
Is this normal behavior or a sign of worse things to come?
Should I be concerned?
I am using two non-Sony chargers:
1. 1.8A Blackberry Folding Blade Charger as described here: http://goo.gl/JRUhW1
2. A magnetic charge cable (that I've been carefully putting on correctly): http://goo.gl/PdijBM

odd. it might be a sign that the battery is on the way out, but not sure.

LG G5 not booting. 0% Battery screen

Hello,
I have been struggling to find a solution for months now. My problem with the LG G5 started when it complained about the bottom cover. Every now and then it would show a screen that the bottom cover is not plugged in correctly. By unplugging and plugging it a few times the screen would go. Eventually, although I am not sure if it is related, the phone stopped turning on. When the USB cable is plugged in I get a screen showing the battery is at 0% and the red LED flashes as well.
I have tried the following:
1) Replaced the battery
2) Replaced the bottom cover
3) Inspected the logic board and cleaned it with a PCB cleaner.
Note that the phone had no contact with water.
I would really appreciate it if someone knows what could be the fault.
Many thanks
