Can you turn your device on? If you plug in the charging cable, did it charge? And what about bootloader mode?

Nothing :/
the device wont turn on, the device wont charge (i have tried different socket/desktops, and also different chargers), and i cant boot into bootloader / recovey mode.
Note: when i performed the steps on the internet, when i plugged in the cable, the Red LED light in turning on for about 15-20 seconds, and then turning off.
what can i do except for going to a lab?

You can try this, if you didn't have already:
- Plug your phone to the charger while holding down the volume down button. Your device should boot into bootloader mode.
- If the above doesn't work, then let your phone charge for half an hour and try it again.

When you plug the cable in, you must press down the volume down button simultaneously. Not just only plug the cable in.

Is the LED always on or only when you plug in the charging cable. I may have a slightly presumption...

since the LED truned on i didn't disconnected the cable from the device, and the LED didn't turned off.
i dont know if to remove the cable right now, because if it is finally charging, i dont want to stop it and mess it up again.
so what now?
edit: i didn't disconnected the cable yet. but the Red LED turned off.

You are charging from the electrical outlet, are you?
Just let it charge for at least two hours, it is a good sign that the LED went on.
Furthermore this red LED also known as 'red light of death' is a common issue of Nexus devices. It's an indicator for the batterie not to charge or because there was a thermal shutdown cause by too much heat and you only can solve this by screw off your device.
I hope you dont must go this far. Just be patient and wait what happens after the charging period.

i have just noticed that the phonr is not charging at all.
its like before the Red LED turned on for a few minutes..
Did you also try to charge it with another cable? Try again to press down volume down key and plug in the cable.
By 'not charging at all' do you mean, there isnt this batterie logo when charging?
Edit: Try this volume-down-plug-in-cable a couple of time. It may not work the first time you do it.

search "red light of death".
leaving it on the charger might fix it. taking off the back cover, disconnecting the battery, then reconnecting the battery is an almost 100% fix.

ooofff.. that sounds nasty.
You say the green LED is coming ON for a second when it's plugged into the pc.
Are all the ABD and/or flash drivers correctly installed?
I hope it's not a brick.

Yeah!! When i connect it in flash mode the LED stays for a second and then disappears. I did nothing that could possibly brick the phone!!! I just switched off my phone when i was about to start with my exam. After about 2 hours i switched it on and it didn't boot. And by the way when i press the power button a green LED blinks.
Try to take out the battery for a while and try to flash it again.
Another idea is to take out the battery, and while holding the back button on the phone and having the dialogue to put the phone in flash mode in flash tools, first put in the USB cable and then the battery.
Hey guys!!! My phone is back now. I just reflashed it. Thank u everyone for helping me out
Hello all,
My phone is not working and I am not sure why. Last night, I was at about 30% battery and I was charging via usb from my computer. It was working fine. I later plugged it into the wall charger for the night and powered it off. This morning, I tried turning it on and it didn't boot up. I tried plugging into different chargers to make sure it is not the battery, but the phone didn't show the battery status when plugged in. This makes me believe it is a broken USB port. I already called google and initiated an RMA.
Has anyone had a similar problem or know how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Did it show a red blinking led light when you plugged it in? Also did you try hard reboot(hold power for 10sec). Or try getting into bootloader(hold power + vol down)?

When I plugged it in after discovering it wasn't turning on, it did not show a red blinking light. I tried a hard reboot with no response. I just got into the bootloader (with the power and vol down) and it turned on. Thank you for the help.
Is there anything I can do to avoid having this problem? Also, what would cause the phone to not boot up?
Thanks.

Were you using a custom kernel with UV capabilities? If not than I'm not entirely sure why this would happen. Do you normally shut your phone off and plug it in overnight? Try airplane mode at night maybe. Possibly something glitched while the phone was off and plugged in.

Interesting. I was running completely stock (no root or unlocked bootloader or anything). It might just be a bug. I'll try out the airplane mode next time. Thanks for the help.
Hey guys, so my friend gave me her Nexus 4 and asked me to try and figure out what the problem was...
As the title says, the device refuses to turn on no matter what, I've tried using different chargers, different cables, even opened up the back cover, disconnected the battery from the device and left it like that for about half an hour, then plugged it back in, nothing. If i try to press any of the buttons while the device is plugged in, the Red light comes on and stays on until after i let go of the buttons...any thoughts? Its been awhile since she got this phone, so i don't believe she'll be able to send it back to Google to get a replacement.
TIA!
I read somewhere that you need to externally charge the battery to fix this.

The battery could simply be toast. A new one off eBay will run you about $20.
I had the same problem. Try this steps pls:
Press Volume down+power buttons at the same time for 15 seconds.
After 15 seconds, plug the charger as the buttons pressed
After doing this u will see the led than the phone is going to start charging
That's it.

Hey All,
I have bought a used leeco pro 3 off swappa. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone until much later after delivery (had to have someone bring it to me). In photos the phone works fine, but when I got it it won't turn on and there's no indicator that it's charging at all. When I do plug it in, the phone does get warm though.
Any thoughts what the problem could be?
Have you tried another USB-C cable? Apparently the stock OEM one sucks.

I have another leeco and I tried that charger still nothing. I've been reading and wondering if the battery drained. I'm going to leave it plugged in for awhile to see if anything changes. I plugged it directly into my laptop and it made that noise that it recognized something was plugged in but it didn't turn on or anything like that.

Plug in charger know hold down power and volume push it down a hold for 15 seconds you may need to repeat this.

I'll keep trying but doesn't want to turn on. Interestingly though, when it's plugged into my laptop at least I can hear the phone being disconnected via USB when I hold the power button down. It just doesn't seem to boot up.
When you plug it does it show it charging.
You must push power and volume button at the same time.
Never buy from them.

It actually happened just now. I charged from 38% to 95% I disconnected non-QC charger and went into AccuBattery app looked at the stats and the phone just shut down... Now I can't turn it on. Nothing happens.
I was on the latest AICP ROM
EDIT: I hold down the power button and connected the phone to PC, it turned on to LEECO screen and now red LED is blinking.

Hello, I have very similar problem. My Leeco le pro 3 don't charge I try diffrend cables and chargers but when plug-in only orange diode start to blink. Do you have any other ideas what to try?
same problem here. LeEco shut down because of low battery. After plugging the charger in it, the LED only blinks red. Then it vibrates, turns off and starting into the charging mode without charging. Starting TWRP or dotOS is not possible because it shuts down.

Problem is "solved". I was able to boot inti TWRP and charged from zero to 10%. After that after few trys it was possible to boot into the ROM to charge the battery to 100%.
Was at work when my phone showed a red notification that I couldn't pay attention to cause I was busy. 10 minutes later my phone wouldn't turn on or do anything... It won't show up on my computer, when on charger it has a dim back light every once in a while and once it vibrated when holding power and down button. Any ideas?

yeah, as the other user sayd: dead battery, you can charge it times and times but you wont get your device working until you replace the battery, a new one is needed to make it work again.
