[Q] Note 4 will not power on the screen

Sadly less than 12 hours of use and my Note 4 will not power on the screen. It charged overnight and showed 100% battery when I woke up. This morning I watched some videos, checked email etc. Then after getting ready to leave for work the screen will not come on.
I've tried the traditional pull the battery, sim, SD card, hold the power button while everything disconnected to discharge any latent power.
Plug just the battery back in, it vibrates and the notification LED comes on blue, but the screen never turns on and there is no sound.
Tried charging it on the way to work and the notification led was solid red, still not able to power on the screen after removing and reinserting the battery/sim/etc in various fashions.
Now it is sitting at my desk at work, I've pulled the battery, put it back in, powered it on and while plugged in the notification led flashes slowly red.
It is recognized by my tablet when I plug it in via USB as "SAMSUNG-SM-N910V" so there is something "on" but there is nothing in that device I can access.
I've also tried holding the volume down and power, volume up and power, just power, holding volume/tap power/release power/still hold volume, holding all the buttons, just to see if I could trigger some recovery mode like every device I've had before with no luck.
I think this one is going back and getting replaced today.
If there are any other suggestions, please let me know. I hope this is a fluke as the device has impressed me so far.

Try access recovery mode home+ power button

They tried that in the store too after I brought it back. They had no more inventory and are supposed to get more later. They confirmed its a dud now also.

Phone not turning on and led flashing rapidly

I just flashed MOAR rom on my phone a few days ago and everything was working perfectly then while at work I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed my case had slipped off and was holding the power button down. After fixing the case I tried to unlock my phone and nothing came up on my screen. I held down the power button and the only thing that happened was my LED indicator is flashing green rapidly and at different brightness. Then I pulled the battery and left it out of my phone for 2 hours and still the only thing that is happening is the LED. When I plug it into my computer without me hitting the button the LED is flashing. It wont boot into recovery and I don't want to send it in and them find a custom rom on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming it won't go into download mode either? Try holding the power button in for at least 30-40 seconds.

No, I've tried holding just the power button for a minute or trying to go into either download or recovery mode and got nothing.

Try the same thing with the charger plugged in.
"Try holding down the power button for 1 minute with the charger connected. If this doesn't present the screen, try holding the power button AND both volume buttons at the same time. This should bring up a menu. There should be an option for reboot or force reboot"

Thanks for trying to help, I've tried holding both volume and power button for a minute and nothing. After having it plugged in for a few minutes my battery started to get warm.

Just something I found while looking for answers. At least your battery is getting warm. That is better than the alternative.

Are you using the original data cable? Try a different USB port maybe?

How to turn on wileyfox storm after battery fully drained.

Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.

Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn

I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?

I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?

Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.

it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).

Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.

hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on

This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2

Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up

Galaxy S8 Won't Charge

I have Galaxy S8, my problem is I flashed a custom ROM, and it's bricked (stuck at boot logo). I still charged my phone, and suddenly it turned off, I realized that since then my phone aren't charged. A black power logo (charging screen?) now comes up but the LED indicator for charging is not turned on while I connect my phone to charger. What I have tried:
1. Using original cable and charger. Using another cable and charger does not work too!
2. Connect it to my laptop. Does not work.
3. Use different electric socket (2-3 sockets). Still no luck.
4. Power. Not work.
5. Power + Vol Down. The device is turned off, but then the charging screen comes up again, still, I cannot power on my device.
6. Power + Vol Up + Bixby. Not work.
Is there any suggestion what should I do now? Please don't tell me it's a hardbrick. :crying::crying::crying:

Hi; try to change your charger. For me it's that the problem.

Could be that it's deeply discharged. Had that problem with my HTC one m7. I let it charge for a day and that did the job pretty well. After that, I could charge normal again.

I would try HOLDING the Volume Down + Power for at least 7 seconds.
Supposedly, this simulates pulling the battery, and gives you a few options, including rebooting or factory resetting. If you're thinking you're bricked, a factory reset might be best. Good luck.

S7 EDGE Won't boot up

SOLVED
Apparently I had to let it charge for a whole hour, seems like it was completely drained somehow or something. Close the thread please.
Guys yesterday night my phone had 20% battery, in the morning it must have ran out of battery. But when I tried turning it on it wouldn't. I connected it to the charger it showed the chargin screen but without percentage. Tried turning it on but it still would not.
Tried booting in bootloader mode which it did. But after I restarted it, it stopped charging too.
So right now my phone wont boot up from power menu.
It wont boot to recovery using vol up + home + power
It wont boot to bootloader using vol down + home + power.
And when I plug it to the charger it wont show any signs of charging, no led no charge screen. nothing.
Help me android gurus.
(It's the international version with the exynos rooted)

Try With Different Charger (preferable 2 amp)
