So my G1 has died!! :
Battery was at 70%+
Took it out of my jacket and tried to open the screen but all i got was a black screen
pulled the battery multiple times but no good - it just will not powerup
plugged it in (AC and USB) but get no leds
left it plugged in overnight and tried again - no joy
left the battery out for 8 hours and tried again - no joy
Dont have spare battery to try - no T-mob stores here
twisted and shook it around - tried again but no good
pressed just about every combination of keys i could but its just plain
DEAD!! !
Got onto HTC and they went through everything again to no avail so they said to send it in
BUT... before i boxed it up i tried again twisting and turning and pressing and squeezing and Then.. all 4 lights at the bottom lit up
i pressed the power button - they all went off and i cant get anything to happen once again - cant repeat what i did
Anyone have any suggestions before i close the box up??
I miss my friend...
Close up the box and get a free one.....hopefully its still under warranty and you won't be out of pocket anything.
i too have just been through this
thank you t-mobile for a new one

Hi all,
My phone is completely dead. My phone ran down to about 5% battery last nite so I plugged it in to charge and thought nothing of it. When I got up this morning however the phone had not charged for some reason and the phone was totally dead. No lights were on and nothing happened when I tried a soft reset or the power button. I left it all day and then pressed the four buttons to do a hard reset and the screen came up saying to press the reset button to continue or any other button to carry on. I pressed one of the front buttons and the phone started to boot but then faded away to nothing before I could plug it in.
Now, nothing happens at all when I press the four buttons...Also the litle slide button to open the battery cover doesn't seem to work and the cover won't come off.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the USB connector screwed, which would explain why it didn't charge?
I haven't done anything unusual with the phone recently or installed anything new...
Can anyone suggest anything?
sounds like your battery exploded....make every effort to remove it and insert a new one. my battery also began to swell somehow but i was able to remove it before it damaged the device...
Hope you get it fixed soon...
lol thanks! Just need to get the battery remove slider button working I guess...
Had my htc a few months now, has been working perfectly, but I hit a problem recently, the power button is no long responsive, in fact it seems as if it's constantly "on" pressing it does nothing whilst the device is running, and when i restart my phone i get a window saying "You will lose any saved work if you choose to shut down" (or whatever it normally it says when you turn the phone off). Now as you can imagine this is quite frustrating, I can return the phone from stand by removing and replacing the stylus, but it's also constantly draining battery (it now lasts less than 8 hrs with nothing running).
Any ideas?

TC,
You probably should send it in under warranty if you can. If not, you might have to open it and take a look and see where exactly is the powerbutton getting jammed.
Cheers.
please plugin ur charge oringinal not usb synch CP.AFTER 10min check ur device
Does that help? I've got the same problem, and I've read the six or so other threads on power button problems, but to no avail.
I lost my original power cable - I would buy one if it would fix the problem.
Cheers for any help, I feel like my phone's broken an arm!
I had the same problem. I was told to slide a thin card like a playing card under the plastic power button and gently open the gap slightly enough for you to blow hard under the button. Try blowing all around under the button from all angles. Gently lifting up button slightly. Let me know if it helps. Worked for me.
i have same problem it hapen when i have the phone couple days without batery inside strange anyone know how to fix it ? to be more funny i go to repair center not official and it start working propely ''magic hands'' after couple hours go back to switch on all the time i did open my device is without warranty clean the buton and staff and still the same
confused

Ok i got an extremely bad problem
i brought a hd2 from ebay with a fault, which was the person said he dropped the phone and the screen cracked then he replaced it with new screen and digitizer, but he said after he did that the phone only starts up sometimes, anyway i won the bid and when i recieved it i put the charger in and it turned on by itself and was stuck ar htc screen i took the charger out and the phone went off, so i put the charger back in again and it didnt turn on this time, tookout battery and did reset and hard reset and still nothing? the phone doesnt have hardspl.
so i opened the phone up and look to see if anything was lose which it wasnt and i also manged to damage the volume flex cable and the bottom buttons flex!
so i left my phone overnight and in the morning i put the battery in and put it on charge and A RED LED LIGHT CAME ON!!!! which means it was charging so i thought if i press the reset button it come on, so i pressed the soft reset and nothing came on and the red light dissapeared and it doesnt come back again?
Can anybody help me whats wrong?
Since the previous owner has dropped the phone, anything could have went wrong.
First, check the battery pins on your phone, and make sure they are straight (not bent, not eve a little)
Hi I tryed that but it still don't work, also to follow up I put my htc in fridge for 5 mins and put in usb and orange light comes on so I left it for couple of hours and after it finished charging it virbrates and screen comes on but it just stays black so I took out battery and it didn't startup, so battery is fully charged and I. Put phone back in fridge and put usb back in and orange light came on again, so this time I pull out usb cable and the light is still on??? And I pull out battery and it goes off I don't know what's wrong???? Its driving me nuts!!!
Edit - ignore what I wrote above, okay I left phone in fridge and I put battery in and then I put in usb and orange led light comes on then the phone vibrates and the htc logo screen comes up but it is frozen there and I can't reset because I have no buttons because I broke the flex ribbon. I pull out battery and it turns off and it doesn't come back on so I put usb in and then battery and nothing but I can feel a tiny bit of vibration but not as strong as before. Its soo wierd the phone only powers when I leave it in fridge.
really need a solution fast
Please guys I really need a solution, don't leave me hanging. I was going to buy a new motherboard but I don't know whether its worth it because I font want to waste money.
I can't answer your question. But I know for fact that if the hd2 overheats monsterously the processor melts off it's spot or something and the phone starts to reboot at 25-30 Celsius degrees and that could explain cooling it down lets it boot. My suggestion is to sell the phone on Ebay as SLIGHTLY damaged Hahahah!
infact thats what i done i put it on ebay if anyone wants it let me, mint condition except boot failure I don't think it the processor because I can connect to usb and it comes as qualcomm data
The phone tries to turn on because I see the vibration motor turn once but nothing else happens?
facepalm.
....
Was there any need of facepalm makes you look like a retard. Don't do it please
Hey guys
I just had my digitizer and LCD replaced. My battery appeared to be damaged when I ripped it out, and the back cover was cracked extensively from the drop.
I got the phone back from the repairer with just a new screen/lcd in it, who said he had troubles powering it on. I got it home and charged it for half an hour and it would get to the google circles spinning and it would cut out and go back to the charging screen.
I ordered a new battery and installed it this afternoon, about an hour or so ago.
When I plug the phone in to the power, the light flashes orange for less than a second and it stops. No buttons are responsive.
If I hold down the vol-down button and insert the micro usb, it goes to the bootloader menu and stays there. If I select start it shows the 'Google' screen then cuts out and the light flashes orange once. If I hold vol-up when inserting, it shows the battery charging icon for a few minutes and then cuts out, and when it does the light flashes orange once.
I've left it sitting for about half an hour now and it's still not responsive.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on before I put the original battery back in?
Put the old battery back in with the same results.
What the hell is going on :/
I've been using my phone as I always would. I even used it around two minutes before it stopped working. I went up to get a drink, got a message and responded to it, went back to where I was and sat down and wanted to charge the phone only to notice that it didn't and it wouldn't turn on either.
I took out the battery and put it back on. I've checked the connectors and they seem to be alright. I held the power button for a minute without the battery in it, which was a trick I read on a website. I tried 3 different chargers (2 fast chargers and a regular one) and the phone won't charge (no red light) and the battery was 90% full when I went to get a drink, which I know because I was already charging. I've tried many things (holding power button with battery in it as well), but nothing seems to work and the device appears to be dead. It's a brand new device as well which I got in mars after my first Note 4 got stolen.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My advice for you is to take it to the Samsung. This is a major issue for a almost brand new phone. Good luck.
