My T-mobile Lg G2 won't power on and I can't tell if it is charging. I also can't enter download or any recovery. The phone was not rooted. Is there any way I can unbrick it?

First thing you should probably do is let charge up then see what works and what doesn't......then the help can come
Its been plugged in for about 8 hours. The phone gets a little warm so I thinks its charging but I can't tell. The screen was working yesterday so I don't think the LCD is broken. Plugging it into the computer gets no reaction.

Do you already try to push power button for atleast 10 second?
Yeah, ive tried holding down the power button. And I also tried entering download mode by holding volume up.

Does the pc recognize the phone at all?
No the PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. I tried installing the Lg Mobile support tool and the drivers but none of those can detect it either.

Hold volume up while plugging in USB. Should put you in download mode.

I dropped me Epic today and cant get it to power on. I took it to the sprint repair shop and some how they can power it up and I'm not sure how they do it? I need to power it on so I can fix the problem. I am running Anonymous rom i3 so it has a funny problem when powered down and plugged in....kinda freezes on charging screen. I also cant boot into recovery and cant get into download mode. The sprint store was able to power it on twice but wont help anymore because I voided warranty by changing software lol. I need to figure out if there is an alternate way to power on besides the power button? Keyboard maybe? Any input would be helpful!
Turn off, the power button + 1 key on the keyboard.

Well I didn't see my neighbor but my buddies wife is also a tech at the same store. I told her what's going on I'm waiting for an answer. Hopefully I'll have an answer for you tonight.
Also u should look into the jig or what ever is called it just plugs in to ur USB port and it jumps it into download mode. Ill look for a video for u. Give me a second.
Edit: here's a video on how it works.

She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.

If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?
Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.
With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).
Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.
That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.
My N7 just randomly died. It's been working great for a month and now suddenly won't turn on. The battery was very low and it probably shut down from that. But after plugging in to recharge, nothing!! No power, won't turn on, has no indication it's charging ... totally dead. I bought retail but if i return it now, my data is not wiped. I'm afraid that after i exchange it, anyone either at the store or at google/asus that gets it back and gets it turned on will have access to all my accounts.
any suggestions?
does it connect when you plug it via usb?

It's 100% dead so it doesn't connect at all, not power not usb. Very weird, it's had zero issues until now and it just randomly died ... no trigger
Since you didn't provide info on how you were trying to charge it...
o are you using the OEM charger and cable?
o how long did you let it charge (let it go a couple hours)
o When you try to start it up after letting it charge for a while, press and hold the power button for a long time 30+ seconds
If you can't get it to ever power on, you will never get the data off since that is the only way to access the memory on the device.
I'll just leave this here...

Hi guys, i have a problem with my 2 month old Nexus 4, is currently on CM10.1 Nightly (of Today), Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery.
I'm trying to charge my phone to the AC (and also via USB) with no result. The screen is not showing the battery level and the phone is not responding. There are some possible solution? Just like going to fastboot mode for lock the bootloader and then ask a RMA?.
Thanks in Advance

My phone is constantly rebooting without actually turning off. It's lost connectivity to everything (mobile networks, wifi) as well.
I rooted my phone and then tried to install TWRM on it. I may have installed the wrong version, I'm not sure because I used FreeGee to do this.
My phone currently turns itself on, goes to the lock screen then stops responding after a little bit then reboots. I can't actually turn the thing off to put it into recovery or something.
**Edit:** Alright guys, I've got it into download mode and am trying to reset to stock using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Hi, so the short story is that my phone power button does not work, and its turned of because the battery finished and now its charged, what can I do to turn it on??
I don't think ADB works cause phone is off...
Any solution??

Fix the power button
You could attempt just plugging it in and unplugging it a bunch, I have had some phones in the past that this works for, but if you are rooted I know at least one version of twrp recovery caused my phone to power on when plugged in and it would boot to recovery, from there you could just boot to os. Of course you would still need to get it to power on at least once first, so my guess is you need to fix the power button

open phone, remove the power button board(its connected to the mobo with 2 golden pins, they just contact with mobo, so you can just lift away), and do a little short on 2 golden contacts on the mobo till phone turns on
Yes, i tried to hold it about 2 min, i'm sure this is hardware problem
