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 .

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.

This exact thing happened to me about a month ago. Whats happening is your battery is basically dead/at 0% or 1%. When you try and charge it the phone gets hot so it's not gonna charge.
What i did was literally put the phone on ice. You gotta get a bowl big enough to put a bunch of ice in, then put some kind of layer over that. Like a bag or foil. Something to keep your phone from getting wet. Now sit your phone on top of the ice and plug it into the charger. The phone is gonna slow charge and it'll take a couple hours to charge 4 or 5%. Wait 3 hours while keeping it on ice/charging it. Then take it off the charger and it should turn on. Now put it back on the charger and it'll charge normally. Idk how much of this made sense to you, but this worked for me after trying many other things.
Thank you so much. you have helped revive a dead phone. I followed your instructions to the letter and after three and a half hours found the phone to have charged to 60%.
The ice really worked. The heat wasn't allowing it to charge.

I'm glad yours worked out but my case is a little different. One night I was playing games for hours and hours and while I had the charger connected so it wont die on me and when I started to notice that it's getting pretty hot, I put it down and its still charging and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the phone won't turn on anymore. When I hold the power for a long time it would start blinking but the screen won't turn on or anything and when I let go of the power button it will stop blinking, power + volume up or down combinations has not effect or whatsoever.
So I decided to connect it to my laptop thinking that maybe it got brick and I'll restore with LGNPST but it won't even recognize the phone, no matter what button combinations I make. So I was thinking maybe the battery was bad so I bought a new battery, removed the screws &cover but when I installed the new battery the damn thing still won't turn on. So now I'm thinking maybe it's the charging port, I have replaced the charging/mic module as well and went through all the trouble of disassembling the phone BUT IT STILL WON'T TURN ON!
I don't know if this method will work but it won't hurt I guess but considering I have replaced the battery already and the phone had already cooled-down since it's been days that I can't turn it on. ANYONE OUT THERE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT PLEASE!
farewell LOG
well for trying almost everything even to the point of replacing parts I guess it's time for me to say goodbye to my beloved LG Optimus G. It's sad coz this phone is pretty powerful and good looking too, I dont even think I've unlocked the full potential of this phone but it served pretty damn well and unfortunately I think it's out of warranty already since I've had it for almost 2 years now.
So Sayunara LGOG!

I could probably help with your problem too if it's not too late. This same thing happened to my mom's phone(She has the LG Optimus G as well) My first guess was to replace her motherboard. I ordered her another optimus g from EBay that had a cracked screen and cracked back for $40(make sure it's an unlocked phone). The internal hardware was all in working order. I simply replaced the motherboard in hers with the one from Ebay, and it worked. If you haven't gotten rid of the phone yet you could try this. I found a teardown guide on youtube that made it really easy to remember where to disconnect and reconnect everything to the motherboard. The only downside to this is it's basically a new phone and anything not stored on your sd card will be gone. It's like a factory reset.
hey mate, wow I didnt think anyone would reply to my post anymore.. thanks for replying, anyway no I havent gotten rid of it yet though I already got a Galaxy S5 if I can fix it soon I can still return the S5 coz right now I'm not happy with it coz of the locked bootloader.
I was actually thinking of doing that since I've already gone through all troubles of replacing the mic/charging port module so why not just continue experimenting on it. I will follow your advice but do you know anywhere or anyone else I can find just like the one you got?
Your advice is greatly appreciated, thanks
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.

Hello guys.
My Razr Maxx (german) is trying to die on me, it seems...
i.imgur.com/DUBXzsT.jpg
Shows this for like 10 seconds and then screen goes off. If I press the either volume button, the [?] instantly appears (it's on).
No idea what this[?] means. Googled quite a bit, did not find anything.
Now... the device's been dropped from the 3rd floor Nothing cracked, the only noticeable problem was that sometimes my signal would get low while in a call. The device is rooted. I was running Liquid Smooth; latest SafeStrap. Haven't had any issues of that kind before. My battery life was good.
One morning, I just woke up to this...
Nothing happens when I press the power button. This battery icon appears when I press the volume buttons.
I've left the device alone for a while as I was quite busy. The battery was flat as the screen did not turn on when I pressed the buttons. I connected it to the charger, the red Moto logo appeared and then the battery icon after a few moments...
I've tried charging it overnight. My charging cables are fine too.. I am able to reboot the phone holding all three buttons, red Motorola logo and then the battery [?] symbol again...
When I unplug it from the charger the [?] doesn't come up, battery is flat already, when I plug it back in starts up, logo, etc.
Tried holding the volume buttons during the red logo, still goes to [?]
Diagnosis?
Help!!!

Sooo.... Currently, I've got the phone cracked open in my kitchen using knifes and heat to melt the annoying plastic panel covering the battery connection where I needed to connect the wires of the charger
Big problem though! Cannot find the fastroot files anywhere!!
Do any of you guys maybe have them saved locally? All links point to droid-developers.org which is dead.
battery dead. nothing else!

Hey guys!
So i have this unusual problem with my phone. The phone won't turn on, but when i plug it in the charger it shows the battery icon with the little "loading" circle in it. It does that constantly when plugged in, icon is on the screen for a few seconds then the screen is all black, it goes like that untill I unplug it.
I thought that the phone was broken, but today while it was plugged in i saw the real charging animation and it said that the phone had 50% of battery so I quickley pressd the power button and it turned on normally. After that i turned the phone off and back on again, everything worked perfectly. So i tried turning it off again and pulling the battery out. Now it wont start again.
The firs time it happend I was using the phone and it freezed, so i pulled the battery out and then it happend.
The phone is running latest version of cm11 donwloaded from cm website.
I hope that somebody knows the answer to my problem.
Thanks in advance!

I'm might know what happening with your phone, and i don't know the final solution either, but you can use your phine with a little bit of effort, just plug your phone to charge and open download mode (press power key, home key , vol down key simultaneously)
And let be in that position for 5-10 min and then press cancel. Then it will show your device name for real long...... wright there for 5-10 min again and it will be working again, don't let it go off again or do same procedure if it goes off, you may have problem with your sensor's, wanna stable solution? Go to your service provider
