I have an LG g5 for about a year.. just an hour ago it randomly shut off well actually the screen became all pixelated and then when I turned it off by pressing the power button and turned it back on its still pixelated. I removed the battery and re-inserted it.. tried putting it on charger but the same thing. The phone turns on but the LG logo and adroid logo are all pixelated.. it moves to the home screen and i can kind of see it showing draw a pattern but it isn't responding. Moreover, when the screen is displaying with this sort of pixelated images the top of the phone turns extremely hot and is draining battery very very fast. The light at the top of the phone is blinking fine, I can hear sounds and vibrations when i turn the volume up and down and when i connect my usb to the computer it recognizes it but I cannot go into the screen. What could be the issue?

My phone's battery just died. It made the power off sound, but when I looked at the screen, it was still on the home screen. I took out the battery and tried turning it back on. Now when I put the battery in, and hit the power button, no matter if the phone is plugged in or not, the LG logo comes up and the lights on the buttons blink 3 times. It just stays like this and won't turn on! I've also tried a hard reset, but the same thing happens (logo and button blinks). Any suggestions?
Thanks,

When I hold the power button to turn the phone on, the screen remains blank. No HTC logo, not even on-but-only-showing-black. I mean blank as in the screen does not even turn on. The phone itself does seem to be on, because after a while of it being "on", when I touch the screen anywhere the phone gives off a slight vibration, however the screen still is blank.
My phone was working just fine yesterday, I have no clue what could have caused this. My phone is (or was) running Android 4.4.2 COMMOTIO, with CWM touch recovery by PhilZ if I remember correctly.

Was the phone dead? Have you tried booting into Hboot/fastboot? When you plug it in do you get a orange light saying charging?
When I plug it into the outlet to charge, the orange light blinks on and off about 20 times then it just stops altogether. I tried hbooting it as well with the volume key + power but no luck.
EDIT: I just read that one should leave the phone plugged in for about 20 minutes before expecting it to take a charge. I will wait 20 minutes or so and report back what happens if anything.
EDIT: IT'S ALIIIIIVVVEEEEE!
Now I will tell how it happened, formatted as green text story

(For those who don't know, mfw="my face when...")
So my guess is that the battery simply must have died while the phone was off. I am not sure about all of your rezounds, but yes, mine does discharge when turned off. Yes, even when it is on airplane mode.
Thanks to pball for attempting to diagnose the issue, by the way .

Screen froze, possibly battery?
Just a few hours after I made a thread asking how to keep my Nexus 9 working for as long as possible I ran into trouvle. I was using my Nexus 9, surfing on Chrome in landscape mode while it charged ( battery was on the low side) suddenly the screen froze with some greyish horizontal small line segments and it would not turn of. After I held the power button for quite a bit longer than I'd have to normally it powered off, but not on again, not even that little vibration, so I let it charge for a while, then that little empty battery sign appeared but it would not turn on, after a few more minutes it had changed to the charging animation and turned on, and it turns out the battery was at 3%!
Now, it does seem like it just ran out of battery even though it was charging, but if it was just that why did it freeze so hard and why did I not get any low battery warnings?
Thanks!
Very strange problem. I have a LG G3 D855 for 1 and a half years now(rooted)
My phone was at a very low percentage, and I heared it go out. Happens to everybody, nothing strange so far.
I connected it to the charger and I turned it on, i heared the startup noise, but nothing happened. No pincode screen or unlock screen. Stuck at LG life is good screen. I actually was able to take a screenshot, i heared that sound when pressing power and volume down key. I know it is just right away from the main screen, but why is my screen freezing at startup logo? Tried to hard reset and clear all data, then I get a secure confirmation (verify) error. then my led starts to flash red and blue. Battery taking out and still no success.
How to fix this? Also screen is recognizing touch at the startup screen (when it fades away i click on it and it turns brighter)
EDIT: I blindly went into whatsapp and i am able to type and answer calls blindly wtf. Now I got a blue screen, everything is operational, the screen is blue now
Edit: I can actually blindly unlock my phone with my knock code, and hear messages coming in. The screen just freezes on life is good. I can hear it is unlocked wtf is this.
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 .
