[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 Hard Bricked? Help!

Hey everyone,
Problem:
Last night I was using my phone and it was on around 50% battery. I put it in my pocket and a few minutes later when i checked it, it appeared to be dead. It would not turn on when i tried to hold in the power button. I rooted my phone over a year ago and haven't updated it in a long time. It seems to have bricked out of the blue and it wont turn on.
Attempt to troubleshoot:
I tried removing the battery and putting it back in. When i do this the Samsung logo briefly appears with the normal unlocked screen. After about 2-3 seconds I notice a tiny glitch across the screen and then it goes black and there is nothing. I put my friends battery from his S4 in my phone and the same exact thing happens.
I also called AT&T and my warranty expired for this phone a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
-Alex

Does it do the same thing if you try to boot it into Odin mode? Meaning power plus the volume button.

Yeah I tried doing that as well. It only works for about a second. When I remove and reinsert the battery I have about a three second window before I get the black screen again. I removed the battery and right when I put it in I held the volume up, home, and then power keys. I see the screen start to change a split second before it goes back to black.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or what my options are? I am just over the one year warranty so i can not return the phone. I would like to troubleshoot it if possible, but I'm not quite sure where to start since I can't turn the phone on. I am leaving for vacation tomorrow night and I really need to have a phone. I have been trying to troubleshoot it since yesterday and I have had no luck.

Did you plug it in to AC and see if it runs--try that without battery also--

I assume by AC you mean an alternating current (standard) outlet? I plugged it into the wall charger with and without the battery and it did not turn on.

Yeah, that's what I meant. May be hardware.

Okay. Is there anywhere I can do to diagnose the hardware or I could take my phone to get it fixed and diagnosed? This is my first time having a phone stop working so I am not sure what to do since my warranty just expired last month.

One last thought before I suggest giving up. Is it possible the phone IS turning on (and staying on) but the screen is just not remaining on? Troubleshoot by turning on the phone until you briefly see the screen, then give it time to finish booting (if it really is on), then plug into PC to see if it is recognized by the computer? If so, then it's a screen issue.
Or, could it be the power button is wonky and is turning off the unit right after turn on?
I'm perplexed....

If there is a CPR (Cell Phone Repair) near you, that would be my recommendation.

Neither my desktop nor my laptop can detect the phone. The only time the phone turns on is when i take out the battery and put it back in. It comes on for like 2-3 seconds with the samsung logo and then shuts off. I did that while it was connected to my computer and the computer didn't recognize it.
How could I determine if the issue is the power button before taking it to a CPR?

Not sure about access to button with back off or how to take apart. But, you could try to depress button and try to spray some electronic cleaner in it with the nozzle tube provided. Radio Shack has it if Best Buy doesn't. I doubt if that will work though. But, the spray comes in handy for me on occasion.

I took off the cover, and then removed the screws to take off the back of the phone. I held the power button from the inside of the phone and it still did not turn on. I used my friends battery that was at 80% charge to test it so it isn't the battery. I found this tutorial online for removing the power button which could solve the problem (assuming it is the power button) but i'm not sure if it is the power switch. Also the tutorial is for the S3 and not the S4. Not sure if I should attempt this or if there is anything else I should try.

I'd wait a bit and see if anyone that has actually replaced one chimes in. You could in meantime try the spray. Make sure it is electronics spray so it won't damage or gum up anything--like you said it may not even be the buttton--
good luck

At this point my thought is the button isn't the issue. The button itself seems to be working based on your description.
I'd say Cell Phone Repair or a similar place is your best shot. Good luck. Let us know how it works out!

S4 cannot boot up

My phone keep restarting since last night. There is no change made recently. It cannot boot up properly, it will auto shut down after showing the Samsung s4 icon. I took out the SD card and sim card, but no differences. I cannot navigate to the recovery mode and download mode as the phone will auto turn off after the samsung s4 icon. I changed to a new battery but still get same error.
Any idea how to fix ?
Many thanks.

It's probably your power button that is faulty. Try to wedge it or replace it.

@icefox913
Hello, when you insert battery your device powers on itself? If yes, maybe your power button is really broken or your USB port is dirty. If not, pull out battery and press Download Mode combination (Vol- + Home + Power), reinsert battery and see if booted in download. In this case, read here how to reflash through Odin
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505

I had the same problem couple of days ago. I had to press the lock button like 8~10 times till it booted up and did that several times till it booted correctly.
I don't know the reason but I removed the SD card and the problem vanished ... I don't know if it was either the lock key or the battery but till now it's working fine

yes it did that and sometimes if I slammed the phone it'll boot up by its own but after taking the SD card out it's working fine and when the phone was working and booting normally sometimes the lock button worked if I only use it to lock the phone but whenever I long press it to get the power menu it just hung there and turned off or it turned off after I press the lock key again and sometimes I didn't even press it and it turned off

Does the power button and mother board are same thing?
Went to service center today, they suspect it is due to the mother board spoilt,but need to pay 50 bucks for the evaluation.

It's this part.

I think you need to solder it to the mother board.
50 bucks for the evaluation? That's expensive.

Yureka does not turn on!!

At about 12:00 AM on 11/9/15 when I was about to sleep I saw a message on my Yureka phone that the battery was low (15% left) and asking to turn on battery saver mode. I did not do it as I was to get up at 6:00AM and an alarm was also set at that time. I woke up at 6:30AM saw there were few SMS. I put the phone on charge. I do not remember what amount of charge was left. After an hour I checked the phone. There was a blue light indicating the the charging was on. When I pressed the power button the phone did not respond (display was dark, it did not light up). I removed the phone from charging and reconnected. Now the blue light did not turn on. There was not light. Then I opened the phone case removed battery and reconnected it and tried to switch on the phone. It did not turn on!! When I tried by connecting the charger, the phone did not turn on. After few more trials of combinations I called the customer care. They asked me to do lot of things which did not help. They say they have escalated the complaint and they will call back in 24 to 48 hrs... Today 12/9/15 when I tried to connect the charger I got a red light. I left it for long time thinking the phone will get charged.
When I checked the internet for the problem I find that only bricked phones indicate with red light when charger/PC is connected!! I have not done anything which the forum says so that the phone gets bricked.
Have anyone faced similar problem and how do I come out of it?
How to take data out of such phones??

And once I tried , removed the battery and kept charging with ought battery and it indicated the red light. Since my battery was full before occurring this problem I just inserted the battery and tried to switch on but it didn't get on. I just left it ideal for an hour and I found slight warmer when I touched the area where YU logo is present and removed the back cover and found slight warmer.

Has anyone resolved this issue before? If Yes, then how did you do it?
Kindly help.

Nexus 6P [A1], suddenly died and won't even turn on

Any help appreciated. I have a 32 GB Silver 6P that was purchased new on Swappa and was running flawlessly. It was updated to Nougat via beta program when Nougat was officially released. It is on the Google Fi network and was running fine up until 10/31. I left it on the charger that came with it and on 10/31 am, it will no longer turn on. I don't know the IMEI nor SN, it's not on the box. I have tried all the things to get it to turn on (Holding PB for 15 sec, Holding PB and Vol Dwn button), nothing works. HELP!!!

This happened to me 3 months ago
I left the phone on charger for about 12 hours straight untouched
Then when i came back from work i pressed the home button for about 5 minutes or even more then it worked again ( by the way after all that charge time, when it opened again battery level was just 35 % )
Now try the power button for 5 minutes straight if no response you may try what i did
Good luck

You may also consider trying the charger on another phone to make sure it's working
Also consider trying to charge with the provided short usb cable and another working charger
It will eventually work again
Keep calm bro

How long did you leave the phone plugged into a wall outlet? Some people reported they plugged the phone in for 24 hours or more before their phone came back to life. I think the notification light being on while the phone is plugged in is a sign that your phone is back from the dead.

Purchased the device brand new from Best Buy on March 11, 2016 . Running 7.1.1 since it's release and worked fine last night, left it plugged in all night and confirmed it was charging. Use stock OEM charger. Wake up this morning and it won't respond to any button-press variations (Power, Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up & Vol Down, etc).
I don't see any indication that powers on at all (No boot logo, Android with exclamation mark, etc)
Mac and Windows do not recognize device is plugged in. (Using included USB Type-a cable)

just leave it on charger for 24 hours before any other procedures to make sure it is a temporary battery problem
but only after you are sure that the Charger is already working

plug it in and wireless charge at the same time as well as plugging it in again every hour or so

U can pay to get it repaired

My wife's s8 refused to turn on. I held both volume up and down and power at the same time for 10-20 seconds. Booted fine at 0% battery after that.
