My Galaxy S5 won't start up... (black screen) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody
I have a problem with my Galaxy S5 (no custom rom, official)
I normally used my phone, I locked it. But, after about 10 mins I tried to unlock my phone, but nothing happens
I tried to reboot, nothing happens. I tried take out and put the battery - nothing happens. So I searched on Google and tried some keys combinations, but nothing happens. My phone has about 80% battery. I tried to charge it in the charger, but nothing is happening (black screen, no notiffication light). Also I tried to put off my SIM and SD Card, but nothing happens
Do you have some skills in it? Can you help me?

Few days ago, I faced the same problem..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2853472
Then I'd to take it to the Samsumg store.. And they return it back in 2 days and said me it was a software problem..

I wanted to do a recovery reset, but i can't boot my phone anymore, also the Kies doesn't see anything, so. Did you really think that is a software problem? Because my phone won't vibrate at boot. So maybe it can be a hardware prob :/
EDIT: Phone started blinking red light... (nottiffication), I tried to charge it, but nothing...

Mate as mentioned early, same problem I faced..
It'll be better, if you return it to Samsung customer care..

You seem to be saying that the problem occurred unexpectedly. So presumably this isn't subsequent to a flash error, newly installed app or a trauma (dropping the phone, etc).
First ensure that your battery is charged, plug in the phone to a charger as well and try turning it on. If at all possible, borrow a battery from a friend's S5 or go to a store and borrow a battery for 30 seconds to confirm that the battery isn't the issue.
If the problem persists, then remove the cable and battery. Then put the battery back into the phone and press and continue to hold in this order, the volume down key, then menu key, then power key. Hold all three until the screen powers up (about 5 seconds). If this doesn't work.. the most likely problem is a damaged power key - try pressing hard or "wiggling" it to see if that makes a difference.
If you still can't start the phone, then see if a local cellular repair shop has a "jtag jig" that you can borrow. Or you can buy one on Ebay for a few dollars. When this jig is plugged into the USB socket, the phone should automatically restart.
If all of the above fails (which is unlikely), you would seem to have a hardware problem or unknown origin. Which would be very unusual. If your phone is under warranty, make a claim. Otherwise get an estimate to repair it.
.

If I hold all 4 buttons at the same time and connect the phone to PC, PC recognises the phone for a few seconds. Well, maybe not recognises, I cant see it, but it plays the same sound as if connected flash drive to pc. However, everytime it disconnects within a few seconds...

I´m in the same case, but I was flashing the Galaxy S5 with the four files ROM and the pit file using Odin3.09. All the process ended well, but after rebooting there apeared one Screen sayin something like "Some files at this phone are encripted and there can´t be modified......." so I did a manual reboot and take off USB cable and from this moment the phone don´t do anything but giving a sound when I plug USB to computer cable and I can see new COM --> Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and there repeat a loop.
I´m still looking for a solution, but it gives me that there is time to change phone.

Possible Fix
This thread is old but idk if this was ever solved, so in case anyone else ever has an issue like this. My Gf is still rocking this phone so i've had a little experience with it. The phone wont turn on or charge. I got it to work by sticking a flat head screw driver and prying it fairly hard against the bottom of the battery (the side closest to the charge port) and forcing the battery harder against the metal contacts. While pushing the battery I turn on the phone and it starts right up and continues to run even after letting the pressure off. I've noticed this happens every few times i take the battery out, but this method has never failed for me turning the phone back on. Hope someone finds this helpful.

weird, youd think that bending the tabs out to force contact with the battery better would do the same trick fwif

[Q] N4 doesnt turn on. Red Light blinks once.

Hello.
When I try to turn on my N4, I hold power button, and after about 10 seconds Red light blinks (just once, if it's connected to USB that 1 blink last for 3 seconds, if connected to wall, it's just quick 1 blink. If it not connected anywhere there is no action at all, it just stays dead, no blinks, nothing). Same if I try to go in bootloader by holding volume down+power.
This happened after I successfully installed CM12, with no errors. Then I rebooted my phone, and it just stayed black as it is now. Battery was around 25~30% that time, and phone was connected to USB.
Did I bricked my phone totally? I am now trying to charge it up already for 1 hour... but it nothing changes.
I have searched here for similar problems, but couldn't find solution...
Edit: Charging already for 10h+ , still same..
Edit2: I removed battery, reconnected after a while, still same problem.
So I tested it with multimeter, it says 2.6V, but fully charged must be 3.8V. Could this be a problem? I was charging it for whole night.
Edit3: I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...
When I connect to PC usb, there are unrecognized deviced called "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
easy fix
Hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until phone reboots. If you see the little android no need to worry just let go and wait for your device to reboot on its own. This is not a factory reset it's just like restarting your device. :good:

I have tried that many times. Nothing. It's bootloader screen, but I can't get there. Nothing happens. If I keep holding volume down+power it just keep blinking once every ~10 seconds, same if I hold just power button. If phone is not connected to charger, there are no blinks at all.
I removed battery, reconnected after a while, still same problem.

I had the same problem a year ago, I tried to remove the battery, charging all night, and other solutions that I found online and no one worked.
Finally I found here in XDA a user with the same problem and his solution was charger the phone with a wireless charger, a friend of mine has one and I put the phone to charge and after a few minutes the screen goes on and the phone was charged, then I press power button and the nexus run again.
Hope this works.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Spain.
Good luck.
(I bought a wireless charger in case it happen again)
I don't know anyone with wireless charger. I already ordered a new battery, and then I probably will get wireless charger also. Ty.
But this problem is very weird if you think so.. I think it happened because of many aspects together:
1) Battery was already below 30%
2) I pretty regularly charge phone with USB (won't do it again)
3) It was connected to PC USB in same time.
4) I installed CM12 ROM in same time
So main reason I think is USB, that I restarted phone while it was on pretty low battery and with USB connected.. phone restarted and got invalid voltages and couldn't even boot up or charge phone. I also found an article which says, minimum voltage, when phone battery has 0%, it's 3.0V, so I was below that.. it just screwed everything and battery died. Well, I am not sure for 100% that it's battery fault, but I hope so, I really love my N4 and still wanna use it for long time, I hope it's not dead phone, just a dead battery. Lets see! I will update this thread , when I get my new battery (less than month probably).
Sorry, my english is also not perfect. I am from Latvia.
I was playing when it happened to me. The phone was very very hot and the battery was around 70%. When I put in the wireless charged and I can reboot the phone the battery was at 65%, so it had charge but the phone won't boot.
I charge my phone almost every day, sometimes with AC, others with USB (plugging to PC) or wireless that depends of my needs
I hope you can fix it. Good luck.
Btw. Do you know if battery charges with wireless charger, if it's removed from the phone?
Don't think it does, since the receiving coils for wireless charging are located just behind the glass back.

Major Issue Google
This "Nexus SOD" issue is showing up on many sites across the Internet. I have multiple "Nexus" devices including 2 Nexus 4, 1 Nexus 5, 2 "Nexus 7 2013". It suddenly started out of the blue with one of my Nexus 4 phones. Symptoms included rapid battery discharge. I am using Lollipop 5.1 on all devices. There are many claims as to the cause, Hardware Motherboard, Power Button etc. Others claim it is "Software Related" or App Related. The problem effects Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 phones. I have ordered a new motherboard for my nexus 4 device and see if that makes a difference.
This problem should warrant a "Major Android Lollipop Crisis Team" by Google to investigate the cause and let us know what it is and what Google is doing to solve the problem before moving to announce "Android M". This issue needs to brought up and actively pursued at the upcoming "Google I/O Conference" by the strong Android Developers Groups to press for "Formal Action"

I had this problem a long time ago and my fix worked for me after doing a little research it seems like this is a case called battery total discharge. The fix was simply to charge your phone using the wall adapter that came with your phone (I still use my old apple cube wall thing) and to wait for the red light to appear then wait about ten minutes before trying to reboot.
I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...

I have checked all kind of videos there. Also that one. Most of these cases are related to battery, but it seems in my case it isn't. I just searched for QHSUSB_DLOAD unrecognized device, all posts says it means phone is bricked... But cmon, how? I installed CM12, successfully, without any errors, then just restarted phone, and its dead...

Did u try booting the phone without battery by connecting to wall charger and what about flashing stock ROM via PC
Also check that the power button works
This case should be solved

Just tried booting without battery, and connecting to wall. Same - red light blinks once, after I hold Power button or Power+Volume down for about 15 seconds. If I keep buttons pressed, it just repeats every ~15 seconds.
Power buttons works fine.
After I checked that Device manager thing in google.. it looks very bad.. phone is dead.. probably need to change motherboard. I am just shocked, how this could happen... I didn't receive any errors during CM12 installation. Phone just instantly died after restart.

Note 3 not turning on. Sudden death? Hardware problem?

Let me start from the begining.
So the other day I plugged my phone into USB in order to charge it (I had to keep it close to me hence why I didn't plug it into the wall charger). The phone was charging, showing up as a media device on the lappy, etc. I was doing stuff on the computer then I heard it vibrate so I went to see what it was. The blue notification light was on (facebook notification most likely) and when I pressed the Menu button the screen didn't come on. I also tried the Power button but same thing. So I decided to restart the phone. Since then, it hasn't turned back on.
I tested the battery in another device and it's working perfectly fine. Neither recovery nor download mode work. I tried to do some of the tests people recommended for sudden death, like plugging it into usb and leaving it for a while, trying to kick start it (putting battery in while holding the recovery buttons) - you name it, i've done it. I even went to the lengths of taking off the back cover to see if theres any crap that got in there, maybe a loose connector, anything burnt - nothing. Unfortunately, I don't have a multimeter to see if there is a charge running through the board. Looks like sudden death to me, the only thing is - I rooted the phone on the 1st day I got it and I don't live in the country where I bought the phone so sending it over for warranty repairs would be a pain in the ass. What can I do? I would greatly appreciate your help, if you manage to help me fix my baby, I will ENSURE to send you a donation for a nice, big, cold beer (or maybe a few).
Looking forward to any answers! I really need my phone, I use it for work.
It seems like a hardware issue... you need to take it to a local store to scan it's hardware.... maybe something gone wrong while charging which made something be destroyed inside it..... hope its not the motherboard.....
it happens sometimes, when charging current fluctuate, it destroys the charging circuit and in result it damage the whole current circuit, local repair shop can solve the issue.

Can't turn on the brand new YD206

Hello,
I received the YotaPhone 2 (YD206) today.
The box was sealed.
When I tried to turn on the phone, it didn't start. I thought it was empty so I put in on charger for 2 hrs.
After that I tried again , but still nothing happened -- i was holding power button multiple times, as long as 5 minutes at the time, but there was simply no response -- no vibration, no sound, screen remains black (not turned on), anything at all.
I tried different chargers as well (Xiaomi and Samsung one) -- they weren't working with this phone either.
When I connect phone to a PC, I just hear sound that something is connected (I saw installing drivers notice first time I connected it), but nothing happens at all. I don't see the phone in my computer or anywhere else.
Is there way I can fix this somehow? What else can I try?
Thanks!
You can try unlocking the bands like described here.
Not sure it will help but you can at least try.

Sounds like the phone is defect. The only thing I can think of is that it somehow freezed up and you will need to let the battery drain so all power is off the phone and then try to recharge it. Draining the phone completly without screen use can take up to 7 days.
I finally managed to turn it on,by keeping it on charger for whole day and night and after a couple of attempts it was on.
I thought battery voltage was pretty low which prevented it from turning on.
I used a phone for a day, completely discharged it and then recharged it to 100% again. I thought everything is gonna be good now.
Then I wanted to upgrade to Lollipop, I decided to use YotaFlasher to flash EU KitKat first, and that worked fine. After that, I used OTA update to download Lolipop.
Download finished, and I was offered to "restart device and apply update", but as soon as I confirmed, the device went off and I can't turn it on anymore. What the heck is happening with this yotaphone? (battery was at 97%)
I can't turn it on, restart, put in download or recovery mode, get it to charge or get the screen on. Also PC don't recognize it *AT ALL* -- not even sound that something is connected. It looks completely dead (again).
Any ideas what I can do to fix my new problem?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Not Turning On

Hi people.
So i'm having a problem with my S7 Edge and i don't think it is common. A few weeks back I was using my phone and it would suddenly turn off and the battery would be drained too. After this first incident with the problem it happened more often, and the phone would start doing boot loops to the point where the phone just froze and turned off. When these problems occured it will usually need to be a problem where I do a safe boot (Volume up, Home button and power key), and everything will be fine (or to charge it if the battery drained), but recently, the phone just didn't work at all, to the point I waited for the battery to drain (10 hours), and try charging it, nothing happens.
So firstly I was watching a video and checking my CPU/Battery tempretures to see if that was the problem (the tempretures at the time were around 31 degrees), and mid way through the video it bugged out through the audio in a high screech and turned itself off.
I tried turning it on again but no response to the screen, i tried safe booting it, or every alternative booting option, it did not work at all.
Here is all the diagnostics and repairs I did, but no luck:
- Tried turning it on
- Different boot options (Volume up/down, Home button & power key)
- Cleaning the port for moisture detection
- Replacing the battery for a new one (Genuine one)
- Doing all of the above, with it on charge
- Connecting to a PC, but no detection
One positive I found was that when i put the phone on a wireless station, it would change colour to show that the phone is charging. I have however took the wireless out of the phone as it was in the way of the battery, and safely in my draw.
Before this final fault happened, I did do a recovery to a previous Android version, just incase if it was a software fault, but it wasn't. The phone is not rooted and I had it since September of 2016.
Is there any alternative options to do? As i'm running out of ideas to do as every solution on the internet is to turn it on, which i can't whatsoever.
The warranty is voided also as there is a crack on the screen lens, and it's way too much to pay for a repair.
I need some explination of why this is happening, so I can go in the right direction and not to waste money if i was going to a repair service, or purchasing the parts for myself.
Any help would be highly appericiated.
Check your installed apps to see if there any viruses on your phone. All you said are signs that your phone might have a virus (check how to remove it here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-phone-has-a-virus/
However, there is a chance that you do not have any viruses on your phone, but at least you have to isolate this possibility.
Did you recall installing any app prior to this behavior?
This may be the case, however i can't turn on the phone at all. I tried every possible reboot possible, download mode, bios mode, safe boot, reboot, but nothing happens unfortunately. Unless i can do it whilst it is turned off, i can do something. I have a PC if i can do anything else with it.
I don't think I have installed any weird apps on the phone.
sounds like a brick to me. Not a lot I can thing of you can do.
If you place the wireless card back in does it boot?
IT sounds like you've messed with the internals, so possible you damaged something?
I don't particularly think that I broke it from the inside as it was behaving the same before i opened it. And when i used the wireless charging, it will only indicate it was charging or getting detected on that charging pad and not on the phone regarding a red led, or the charging icon
Have you tried holding volume down + home + power for 15 seconds and try turning on the phone again?
As mentioned in the description, I have unfortunately

Almost completly dead LeEco Le Pro 3 Elite

So I was using my phone (with 1-2%) and someone called me, so I forgot about everything, and I went to talk. I was talking something like 5 mins, and then it stopped. Nothing to worry about, I put it to the charger, but the notification led didn't even started. Tried to boot up, no even a vibration, after 5 min, I tried again, I could heard very small vibration. I got worried, I waited like 20 minutes, still nothing, but the vibrations we're powerfull now.
So my phone is detected by qdloader. I tried with flashone+qfil, succesfull BUT STILL COULDN'T POWER UP. Ok, tried qtps, exactly by tutorial, everything was done, succesfull, BUT STILL ONLY VIBRATES AND NO SIGN OF LIFE, not even notification led when I plug it into the charger. No nothing. So, battery "somehow, I guess" isn't dead. It is soo strange. I contacted @tsongming and we try to fix it later at night, but until then if someone has an ideea or had the same problem, I would be very gratefull, it would be a disaster now to lose this phone
tldr: discharged, put to charge, no led no life, only warming up and 9008 mode works. Qfil doesn't help.
 @F.J.V any ideeas ?

Change the graphics card to see
I do not know what to tell you, maybe so much overclocking ...
I can only tell you that I had a terminal that I left flashing, I forgot and the next day it seemed that everything went well, but the terminal did not do anything.
The terminal was dead, it did not charge, it did not vibrate, the computer did not recognize it, we go as if it had been fried.
After a couple of weeks, the terminal was still the same, it did not matter if I left it charging, it did not react to anything.
At the end I opted to open the terminal to see if I saw something melted, everything was fine, provided with the screen disconnected in case it was the problem and nothing, but ... I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and when reconnecting it the computer recognized 9008 I gave him the qfil and the mobile was as good as new.
The hardware is very damn, sometimes the least unthinkable fails. I have an old notebook, which once stopped working, did not start, but apparently everything was fine. I completely disassembled it and I did not see anything strange, but when I mounted it again it worked perfectly. But every two or three weeks the same thing happened to him. I was trying disconnecting and connecting pieces to see if I found fault, until I discovered that it was the screen.
The fact is that every time it happened to me, I would disconnect the screen, reconnect it and fix it. The funny thing is that there came a time when it did not spoil anymore, now even if I just take it never fails.
I think your failure can be something of that, the bad thing is to open it, but if you can not fix it via software try disconnecting the screen and the battery for a few minutes.
Greetings.

Now I can't even enter in 9008 mode. What the .... you have telegram or something so we can talk more in depth about this problem ? I really need this phone, and it's a really strange case After some time, the vibration got very low, and 9008 doesn't even get detected anymore.

We worked on this for a while, I agree this issue is hardware based. Unfortunately it could be anything, in my case disconnecting and reconnecting the battery did not work.
In his case, I am thinking that it may be a shorted usb card, especially because of the port issue.
Symptoms are zero battery, very soft vibrations and after a while at rest vibrates stronger for a moment and stays at zero.
As I mentioned in my case, the USB port did not work at all, neither recognized the computer, nor charged the battery, for some reason there was a blockage that only deactivated when disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.
The USB port is usually burned in the load, but it seems that this is not the case, unless it burned with the battery charged, and when downloading and trying to load appears the problem.
I hope you are lucky.
P.S. I suppose that D1stRU3T0R has tested with another usb cable and another PC

Symptoms are zero battery, very soft vibrations and after a while at rest vibrates stronger for a moment and stays at zero.
As I mentioned in my case, the USB port did not work at all, neither recognized the computer, nor charged the battery, for some reason there was a blockage that only deactivated when disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.
The USB port is usually burned in the load, but it seems that this is not the case, unless it burned with the battery charged, and when downloading and trying to load appears the problem.
I hope you are lucky.

I bought another cable now, and the symptoms are the same. Also tried on another laptop.
So, if I charge it now, it's vibrating every x seconds (something like 10-20 sec), even without touching it. BAttery getting warm when charging. 9008 mode still disappeared for no reason.
So, by judgind this: Battery: Cannot REALLY be, because it's still alive, charging and somehow working. Maybe the voltage dropped and the vibrations are the sign of it?
Port - Don't believe, I can clearly charge it, so what's the problem here?
Motherboard/CPU - hmm, still doing something, something is controlling the vibrations, so not really
Soft - maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyybbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeee, when I used qpst, I didn't installed qfil with erase option, maybe that would help. When I tried to do that, I got a sahara error(maybe I did something wrong) than I lost 9008 mode.
Today, I got another ideea. Maybe I bricked the UFS memory ? it can't load anything, soooo...... it doesn't start, doesn't know what led color to select? And the vibration is just a sign....
Tried QFIL, 2-3 times, 2 with flashone 1 with qpst.
I went to 3 services, all of them refused me(one only fixing easly fixable phones, another was pretty **** service, and the third .. well I refused it, bcs he said he can try, but he doesn't quarantee that he can open the phone whitout breaking the glass ) But maybe I will try that. I bought another cable to try that EDL force flash, but tsongming is offline, so maybe tomorrow. I'm having some bad times bcs of this loss :crying::crying:
The glass is very hard, I doubt it breaks, but do not pay much attention to the videos that are out there of leeco. If you have never done it better, do not do it (as it happened to me).
I give you some advice in case you try.
Try to use only heat, I do not know if a hair dryer will work, better a heat gun.
Try not to introduce anything to separate the glass, at most a few millimeters, because you can damage the back of the screen and then it looks bad. Above all, do not put anything under and on the left, because you can load the connection strip and goodbye screen. Do not insert any plastic card to separate, because it will fill with glue and will damage the back of the screen.
When you take out the screen it will be full of glue everywhere. In the videos of youtube it says that you scrape it, but it is very easy to scratch the edges or the top part, if the stripes will be transparent and the backlight will be seen.
Do not even think about using a product to eliminate the glue, the screen will be deformed and you will never look good.
Well, you know what you should not do, to see if someone can explain how to do it correctly.
Once you take off the screen remove a small screw and the connector with a slight pressure, then you will have to remove a few more screws to remove a metal plate to access the battery, it may cost a little because it is stuck, but make sure you remove all the screws.
Once you remove the plate you find the battery. If you think it's okay, do not try to remove it, because it's stuck tightly, simply remove the connector for a few minutes and give the power button a moment before reconnecting the battery again
The USB port has not been removed but it seemed easy to remove.

Absolutely it sucks that you have these issues, I know how it feels.
But we need to clear a couple of things up, first just because the battery vibrates doesn't mean that it has enough charge to operate the phone. The battery may have enough charge to vibrate but not enough to power up the phone. > The battery would still be shot.
Next, to remove the glass, carefully and briefly use a Heat Gun. The screen can then be removed with a cloth to protect yourself from the heat, no guitar picks needed, no chance of breaking glass. Leeco simply uses A LOT of glue.
QPST use isn't related to the port issue, the port not showing is a driver issue.
The erase function of QPST clears items in the NV memory and then are backed up automatically during the download/restoration process per QPST user guide.
From QPST Technical Journal:​"Nominally, each NAND block will survive 100,000 PROGRAM/ERASE cycles With an HDD, as long as there is no failure of mechanical or circuit parts, data on the platter (disk) can be rewritten for an almost unlimited number of times."
When something goes wrong
It's either drivers, improper QFIl preparation, windows related issues such as antivirus/windows security is not fully disabled, or damaged hardware.
Edit: It seems that @F.J.V already covered it.
@F.J.V new update, so my phone is now opened but the beginner at the service said that the motherboard is dead, didn't specified more. The phone is still open, and after 2 days I'm going home to check what's up. Any ideea what to check ( with voltagemeter, or to try plugging in whitout battery etcetc, checking battery voltage )

If the battery has an acceptable voltage, plug it in, do not connect the screen, and test if it recognizes 9008.
If it is totally downloaded, you have to try to load it in some artisan way, and do the same test, without plugging in the terminal screen.
If it is impossible to recognize 9008 almost certainly the motherboard is broken, but as the port of loading, which also manages the data between terminal and pc, is worth little money, you can try a new one. If there is not 9008 something on the motherboard is broken, and I do not think it's viable to find out the problem.

I had 9008 mode, and there are 2 people, tsongming and noel who can backup this theory. Even after I got the brick I had the 9008, but only after somehow it died. Maybe I tried qfil too many times, or I charged too much ?

Hi, I'm not a terminal technician, so all I can say are simple theories, similar situations that I've read or things that have happened to me, so what I say can work or not
I do not think that his problem is present in many flashes, or in many qfil, it would happen to more people.
My intuition tells me that it may be forcing the processor for a long time.
Well, what I can assure you, because it has happened to me with an X722, is that sometimes there is some type of blockage that leaves it totally dead, and the only way to make it work again is to disconnect the battery for a few minutes. In my case, there was no 9008, it was not charged, it did not do anything, but when I removed the battery and plugged it back in after a few minutes, the 9008 returned and I was able to retrieve it with qfil.
Also, and this is just a theory, I think some of the terminals when in edl mode, even if you put the charger and the terminal is hot, in reality the battery does not charge.
In my case, the terminal was connected to the PC one day after making a qfil, when I went to restart it it was already dead, it got stuck for a week in the charger, but when I removed the battery and reconnected it, the battery was for the minimum , but it worked, I passed the qfil and I was able to load it with the new rom.
By this I mean that I think the lock was caused by not restarting after qfil and running out of battery, despite being connected to the PC, which in theory should charge the battery.
So I recommend whenever you can, and more if you have the terminal open, disconnect the battery, but this is not a miracle, is to discard this rare block that sometimes suffers.
It is not the first time I see that a leeco has run out of battery and could not be charged in any way, the only way has been to change the battery and pass the charging port, but I do not know if these people tried to reconnect the battery and make a qfil later, the same would have saved a new battery.
If your problem is the motherboard, I recommend that you look for YouTube to repair the graphics card of a PC. Generally, overclocking damages it, but it does not break, it's because the chip reaches temperatures so high that you can lose a solder, which in some cases can be easily repaired with a heat gun. I know people who have worked for him, it's easy, you just need a heat gun.
I hope you can use some of what I told you, it worked for me to disconnect the battery, but Tsongming did not work.
Greetings.

hmm, so in 2 days i'll try this. DIsconnect the battery and let it like that. Also can I connect to the PC whitout the battery connected? Also, I can try to see if the battery is warming up, not only the motherboard or whatever, cpu.
This OC what we're using aren't damaging our hardware. Believe me, i'm OC-ed, and I overvolt and overclock for almost 50% stock speed and still didn't broke anything (top 1 hd 7750 on userbenchmark, biggest benchmark site)
