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 :/

Hi everyone, yesterday I took my G1 from my pocket (after using it normally for some hours) and it was turned off. I thought the battery was dead (I left it at about 20% charge) so I tried to turn it back on and surprise...no vital signs at all. The phone didn't turn on, and the led was dead. After losing half of my hair, I tried removing the battery and placing it back. Now the phone behaves like this; when I press the power button, as long as I keep it pressed the led flashes red and that's it. When I stop pressing the power button the led stops flashing. When I plug the usb cable, the led gives a solid red and stays like that forever.
Please someone tell me it's just a screwed up battery...please

Probably bad battery. It is certainly worth it to at least try another battery -- they're dirt cheap anyways, or better yet, BORROW one.
* Solid green (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is fully charged.
* Solid red (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is charging.
* Flashing red: The battery is low and needs to be charged.
* Flashing green: There is a new notification.

Leave it to charge for 30 minutes or so, then try to power on. should be okay
better to charge from ac power if u can
Its possible your charger could be faulty.
I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?
Try leaving it charge for a good hour, or just go out and try a new battery, could just be dead.

sometimes if a battery gets to low it wont even charge... not just for phones but cameras too and so on..... iv had to do this to cell phones and cameras.... take a usb cord you dont care about and cut it and expose the red and black wires..... look for the positive on your battery and negative, usually its marked, how positive to positive and negative to negative for 30 seconds to a minute while its plugged into the computer then, pop the battery back into the phone and try to charge..... everytime iv had to do this for a freind or something of my own the battery has lasted over a year after with no problems.... just a suggestion
Thanks for the suggestions. I had already ordered a new battery and the phone boots up with it but it won't charge on or off and usb isn't recognized either. I tried wiggling the plug around to see if it was some kind of loose connection but it doesn't appear to be the case. I may take the phone apart and see if anything is loose but otherwise I'll just have to enjoy the last 30% battery of G1 time I have.
About 3 weeks ago I noticed my nexus 7 charger or charger port inside the nexus (more likely) was faulty and I was having to physically put fore on the charger to bend it downward to charge.
This was fine, however since then about 4-5 days ago I dropped my nexus 7 into a shallow sink of water. (about 10-15cm). I removed it immediately and dried it, disconnected the battery and left it in rice for 1.5 days. I then reconnected the battery and noticed it automatically tuned on. There was a small smudge on the top of the screen, and the power button on the side did not function.
I put it back in rice for another 2 days and then found the smudge had gone, but the power button still didn't work. I opened the back cover of my nexus 7 and noticed the track joining the volume up and power contacts was slightly broken, possibly from water. I was and still am likely to try to fix this by applying some conductive paint over the affected area. It is worth noting that I used it for several hours, and the device worked fine aside from the power button and charged normally
Because the power button didn't work I did not want to get my nexus to dim the screen and lock itself, so I turned off sleeping in the settings. However, this then depleted the battery and it must have turned off when I left it. I plugged it in and because I'm guessing the nexus somehow detected the power button wasn't working, turned itself on as it had done before, however it then shut down because there was no charge, and then turned on again, and then turned off... (only when plugged in)
I realised this would be happening all night, so I opened the boot menu by pressing the volume down key during the nexus 7 starting up, and left it in that screen overnight hoping it would let it charge. However in the morning I realised I couldn't exit the screen because one of the controls was the power button so I disconnected and reconnected my battery. Now this is where I am currently at, there is no activity when the nexus is not plugged in, so I do not think the battery has charged, and when I do put the charger in (and I have to hold it down to physically bend it to charge) it now has a black screen with random white fuzzy pixels and no activity.
Please help!
i thought this thread was a joke lol
dude you may as well just finish the job and run a truck over it :good:
try getting another battery , fixing the power button, if your get more problems just accept .....you killed it lmao good thing they're only £190

Hey Chris, I had a similar issue. The unit was water damaged and went into a continuous loop of turning itself on and off. I eventually also put mine in a bag of rice and took it out after a week to realize the power button was probably damaged and kept looping itself in that cycle. Each time when I plug the device into a power source, it just turns itself on, gets into the OS and then turn itself off again because there wasn't enough power.
I ordered a power button strip on ebay for $10 and tried to install it into the unit. After the installation, I was able to charge the unit (ie: when i plug it into a power source, I can see the charging icon come on and after a day it was fully charge. At the same time, the device didn't keep rebooting itself).
Now that the Nexus 7 is fully charge, whenever i reinsert it into a power socket, the icon will say it is fully charge. When i press the power button however, it won't start up. This is where I am, also stuck and don't know what to do.
Hey,
I've broken screen two months ago, I've dismantled the device when it and disconnected the battery, now and after I got my new screen (Display+ Digitizer from Amazon), I put my Phone on its original charger for a long while after reassembly, but it never powered on, I've been stuck on the screen of charging battery for more than 6 hours.
ANY HELP!!!

I know this is a silly question, but are you sure you reconnected the battery where it needs to go? I would have a look at an article/video about replacing the battery and make sure you've sat it in correctly.
There is no way to connect the battery else-where it should to be connected, I saw more than a video for De- and Re-assembly of the device.
I guess you did not catch my problem, the device sense the charger is connected, after long press on Power Button display shows me the white icon of (Fully Charged Battery) in middle of a black screen but IT NEVER START UP how long I pressed the Power Button.
I forgot to mention that; the device showed me once the word "Google" which appears before Nexus Splash Screen while starting-up the mobile and froze on it till I disconnect the battery.
At this moment it acts like before ; Freezing on (Fully Charged Battery) icon !!
Replaced the LCD full screen assembly on my LG G2, all went smooth following a YT video couldn't really have gone wrong,
Switched phone on and battery displayed 0% for several minutes, eventually getting to 2% when I turned it on, all was still OK, however it dropped to 0% within a few minutes even while still plugged in,
Then it was completely dead, no charge light and couldn't turn on,
Removed all of the components again from inside of phone and rechecked all of the connections, again all OK, this time it cam on again!! 0% charging, so I left it charging waiting as long as poss, 45% it was at when I checked but left it while I was sleeping,
Woke up this morning to phone completely dead, cant power on and no charge light showing
Am I wasting my time buying a new battery? could this be another component? LCD?
Appreciate any help,
Thanks
Lee
have now disassembled and re-assembled a further twice and now it does not power on at all
no red flashing light and nothing on display
I've got a similar problem. Did you find out anything? Bought a replacement screen from ebay, and was really confident I could do this, since I earlier replaced the usb charging port with no issues. Of course the battery was discharged completely before this, but I charged the phone and it worked a week ago (which resulted in an annoying alarm that I was unable to shut off because of the broken screen). So after replacing the screen, I plugged it in and turned it on before putting on the back cover. At first it vibrated and I could see the backlight turning on. Then I could see the red led, and thought it was charging, but then the led started to cycle between different colors. I was not able to get a picture on the screen. I then plugged it out and put on the back cover, in case that was needed (didn't seem so from the yt video I used). After that, nothing. Not even a LED. And the phone didn't get any hot like it does when charging/working. It did somewhat get a bit hot the first time.
My first suspect was the battery. It did take some wiggling and force/heat to remove it‚ and it did kind of bend at the edges, but not very much. Any ideas?
Have had the phone for a while now but for some reason recently the phone will randomly shut off. Some times it will immediately start booting back up but more often then not it will just stay black. holding the power button does not turn it back on and some times even holding the power down and the power button doesn't work I just have to wait. I'm not sure whats going on.
The problem is this most recent time it did this and the light was solid blue. after a while a green light started to flash slowly while the blue was still illuminated but the phone would not power on no matter what I tried. I took the back glass off and got to the battery plug and unplugged it (thinking that it was just a hard freeze) now i have no lights and I can't power it on. I don't even get a battery or any lights when I plug the power in.
Has anyone seen anything like this or could give me any other troubleshooting steps I could try to follow? I've put the wireless charger and retainer and screws back in but haven't resealed the back glass in case I have to go back in.
Seems to me like the MMC (memory management controller) chip is dead.
That's a motherboard swap isn't it?
So I opened the phone as disconnected what I think was the screen and some other plug on the bottom left of the mobo maybe the touch synthosizer? I let it sit for about 15 20 mins charging. I plugged all the connectors back in and it booted properly.
Why did that work?
Now that it's up I did a factory reset put apps on one at a time and using Snapchat causes the phone to shut off.
