Remove the battery and check that all the pins are fine. Plug in the charger, then put the battery back in.

My Phone won't turn on, even to load into magldr when charged. The phone sometimes vibrates when I plug it in, like it's trying to turn on, but doesn't have enough battery to load into magldr to charge...
The phone worked fine before (except semi-regular restarts, probably due to the memory card), so do you think the battery is the issue? If so should I just buy a new one and hope that it has enough charge to load magldr, then charge, or is there a way to charge the battery whilst it's not in the handset?
Cheers
Try making sure that the pins are both aligned to the battery.
thanks, you just saved me a tenner
can't believe i didn't think to check that...

No Problem
Incidently, i know you got it fixed which is great but for the record and anyone else searching for this.
If your battery is nackard and you cant get to WP7 and MAGLDR isnt able to load to start charging that way you can try to warm up the battery a bit, dont use a direct heat source, but just warm it slightly, dont over do it, or it might blow up, you'll help the chemical reactions inside which "might" be enough to get you in to magldr or even WP7 its self
anyhow, glad you fixed it!
If my battery dies completely, sometimes it wont turn back on and wont charge. But I found that if you pull the battery, plug the charger into the phone, and then put the battery back in while its plugged into the charger, it seems to fix the issue. It turns the device on and begins charging once again.

amazing advice! thanks given =D
I was changing the frequency of my video card and the screen went blank and I had to reset my computer. After resetting my computer I looked at my phone (which had been plugged in and charging to my computer) and it was off. When I tried to turn it back on the screen flashed for maybe half of a second and went back off. I am using a HTC EVO 4G rooted with gingerbread 2.3 ROM

Sounds like for whatever reason, your battery may be completely dead. Maybe something weird happened when the computer reset...I'm not sure. Do you get a charging led when you plug the phone into the wall (A/C) charger? The USB from the computer isn't strong enough to charge the phone when the battery is completely dead, so you need to plug into the wall. I would charge it up for a while, and then try to turn it on again. If you don't get a charging led at all when you plug it in, I would try a battery that is known to be charged up if you have access to one. Good luck.
It also wouldn't hurt to try doing a battery pull.

It was dead when I first plugged it into my computer and then it started charging. I plugged it into the wall and it still wasn't turning on and wasn't getting a charging LED. I left it on the wall for about 15 minutes and nothing still, right now I have my battery in the freezer. I read somewhere putting your battery in your freezer could fix it or it could be completely wrong.

Take it out of the freezer, leave the phone alone for about an hour then but the battery in and plug it up. When the led light comes on, don't turn the phone on just let it charge. This has happened to me a few times and I thought I screwed something up but I did what I just told you to do and when the led light came on I let it sit and charge and then turned it on in the morning. I think the battery discharged somehow (guess), good luck.

Yea, I'd put it back in the phone and plug it back in. Let it sit for a while, an hour or two. If you don't get an led in that amount of time, you probably won't get one. You can take your battery to sprint and they should be able to boost the battery and bring it back to life.
Can someone help me here please.
I just took my HD2 out of the drawer where its been for month.
It keeps saying "loading please wait"....there is a blue parakeet in the bottom right corner.
Its been a long time since I unlocked this and I have no clue where to even start.
Im willing to make a donation to get my phone up and running.
Thanks alot.
Could try hard reset turn off hold both up and down volume buttons in whilst powering on.
if i pull the battery and put it back in, I cannot hard reset. Nothing happens. The only thing thats happening is the phone constantly reboots while its plugged into a power source.
Check for bent battery pin.
well dont forget ..phone hasnt been charged in months. Im trying to charge it but it just keeps rebooting.
discharged battery would have been my response once you had checked the pins. I say check pins first because with a totally dead battery, you don't get any rebooting, even on external power. It will try a few times, maybe as many as a dozen, but will eventually stop even that.
did it have magldr installed? if so, it wont charge when android isnt running,, in which case skip to **
if it has winmo installed (though this is of course teh android section ), you can try plug in the charger with the battery out, and then insert the battery. it should prevent it trying to start and allow it to start charging. light might not come on for a while.
**If you can't get it to start charging, and/or you just like forcing the issue, take a spare usb cable, mini or micro, doesn't matter (you're gonna destroy it) and cut the end off, bare the red and black wires, and, using the wall charger, connect black to - and red to + on the battery, and hold there for about a minute. (can use your fingers, I can verify you don't feel a thing) Reinsert battery and get the real usb cable plugged in quickly from the wall charger. Should have enough juice to start starting, and start charging.
Hi all, and merry Christmas to everyone.
My S7 edge has started to cause problems with charging up, for some reason when phone is turned on, it will not recognise the USB cable. - I have tried a different cable and plug and it still does not work.
When my phone is turned off, each time I plug in the cable I get a battery with a white lightning symbol and then it just goes off nothing shows as charging . So I suspecting the USB port is OK?
I have erased Delvik cache and erased data this does not change anything.
I do however get VERY VERY slow charging when I leave my phone is download mode.
Anybody got any ideas on what to try before I end up getting back in touch with vodaphone?
Thanks all.
UPDATE :
My phone is now completely dead on 0% battery. When I try to turn on the phone nothing happens as expected with 0% battery.
If I then plug in my charger, I get the lightning symbol for 3 seconds and then it goes off. It gives it some kind of a "charge" and I can turn on my phone.
Once it boots back up, their is no indication to say my phone is on charge and the 0% stays their with a red explanation mark and then my phone turns off. back to the stage I cannot turn it on unless I replug the charger cable and then it goes back in the loop.
sounds like the battery has failed.
check your usb plug if theres any missing pins.
Have you tried using a different charger or charging from a PC USB port ?
Looks to me as if it's your charger or your battery which is faulty.
Yes, I have tried a different Plug and lead we have several in the house. too many samsungs haha.
Sounds to me the battery is faulty as well :/ . Im curious as i thought if the phone is plugged in maybe it should stay on and if i then unplug the phone it would turn off instantly?
I contacted vodaphone , i need to pop into their shop on Monday (i think their open) . they have their own repair center in store which sounds good so no need to send phone off for a repair and they give your a courtesy phone to use as well. If they cannot repair it i should be entitled to a replacement.
Worst thing about these phones when you cannot take battery out :/
Thanks Guys . Hope you all have a nice Christmas Day and get what you all ask for !
on 2nd thoughts,
Although this sounds like a battery issue, of course my phone is totally dead wont turn on. but when i plug in my phone to either, the wall or PC. it will turn on and then back off as if the battery has just died.
If i plug the phone into my PC in DOWNLOAD mode, the phone will stay on but my computer doesn't even respond as if nothing is plugged in. This tells me the problem may be more than just battery?
Just a thought.
