[Q] Brand new Nexus One can't be powered on

I have a brand new Nexus One bought on last year April. For some reason it wasn't to be used. Yesterday, I got it out of the package and charged it for ready to be powered on. Unfortunately, it reacted nothing as I pressed the power button! I took out the battery and put it into other Nexus One, it showed the battery was 100% charged.
I took back the battery and repacked it to this new Nexus One. I tried to press the power button more and more with data cable connected pc. Nothing happened. Just one time, the sceen lighted on and the "X" in four colors appeared! I didn't know why it was powered on. Maybe I pressed the trackball or volume up/down buttons, God know it.
The X sceen lasted almost for ten minutes and then sceen was off! Yes. It shutdown! I can't power it on anymore!
It seemed the hardware was OK. It may be the locked by the outdate android system. The android prestored in this phone is version 2.1.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Can u you go in fastboot? Press power button+trackball..if so then you can recover your phone by unlocking bootloader and falshing custom recovery.

Sadly, It can't be power on and go in fastboot by pressing trackball+power button.

Any more advice?

Check the battery terminals just to make sure they're not dirty.. Sadly, you MUST be able to at least be able to boot something (hboot/fastboot) in order to troubleshoot anything software related. Sounds like you've got a hardware issue that could be one of (literally) a million things.
Sell it on EBay for parts. You can probably get $50-$60

you could try pressing pwr/vol-/trackball all at same time, hold down for around 30 seconds to make sure
commonly known as 3 finger salute
try power on without sdcard by manual methods and plugging in and plugging in with no battery

I have seen a video on YouTube on how to fix the power button which is known for messing up and how to turn it on. Search YouTube

is it that the power button is not working? that would be weird for a new phone though.
have you tried to turn it on using the "jump start" method?
connect the cable. led the charging led come on. remove the battery, wait for the led to go off (while cable is still connected) then pop the battery back in.
see if you can get it to start that way

When you plug charger cable in your Nexus, does the orange or green LED go on?
If one of them does and stays (green for full battery, orange otherwise) - then your problem is most likely the power button. It may not be the only problem, but at least the one that's stopping you from turning on your phone. You can try "jumpstarting" it by inserting battery while charger is connected.
If you don't see LEDs when plugged in - your phone is done.
If you see blinking LEDs - battery terminals might need cleaning/fixing, it usually happens when the battery is out of the phone.

[Q] Is my phone dead?

Hey guys, here's what's wrong.
I was running the latest version of MIUI and found it to be annoyingly buggy, so I installed Cyanogen from ClockworkMod and start installing it. It ended up hanging halfway through and wouldn't progress. I made what was probably a dumb decision and decided to turn it off since it seemed to have frozen.
Now...it won't turn on. If I connect a wall charger or USB cable, the symbol of an empty battery with the white loading circle comes up for about five seconds, but the circle is not rotating and the screen goes black. This repeats nonstop.
Holding down vol down + home + power to get it into Download mode fails, it just says LOW BATTERY CAN'T DOWNLOAD in red letters. Doing the same with the volume button up gets nothing. I've tried leaving it to charge for two days with no results.
I bought a USB jig and tried using it (removing battery and SIM card, putting battery back in, plugging jig in) but it does nothing. I've tried several times.
Any advice? Is it just dead?

try an external charger to charge your battery or borrow someones battery to test your phone. failing that, charge your battery in someone else's phone.

Was the battery full when you tried installing cyanogen mod, and did you follow the instructions fully?
Clean the battery contacts on both the battery and phone pins. Use another charger, and check the port for blockages/dirt (blow in it).
Try another battery..
-Leave the jig in for 30 mins.
-Hold the combo and then put the battery in whilst holding the combo.
-Plug into your computer (with battery) and try the combo. Then try without, and put battery in whilst connected and whilst holding.
-Hold combo then plug into computer
Some of the methods above may require some extreme skill or a helping hand
It could be water damage.
I don't think it is bricked as i don't think those messages would be showing up, but i could be wrong.
If none of that works and no-one else comes up with any other ideas then you may have to use the unbrickable mod. Search for it, it's a hardware hack..
Good luck

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.

Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.

Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.

Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.

Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it

Bionic will not power on

Hello:
I recently got a use Bionic with a cracked screen, no battery, and no sim card. I replaced the screen and bought a non-oem extended battery with cover. When I got everything and fixed it, the phone worked for 3 days. During this time I did a factory reset plus cache wipe then updated everything to latest software and firmware. I had it plugged into my computer to charge over night but on the third day after being plugged in to the computer to charge, I tried to turn on the phone and the white light started blinking at me. I had a wall charger that I use for my Samsung Galaxy Precedent (current using phone) to charge it over night again but all I would get is the Motorola M logo and a then the battery charge status. I search some forums and some one said that my battery was bad so I got an OEM extended battery and an OEM wall charger with dock station. So at this point, the only thing I can access is the recovery screen but that only happens when it is pugged into the wall charger but when I hit the power button I get the Motorola M logo and the battery status which say 5%. Once the screen goes dark again I hit the power button and the battery says 100%. But once I unplug it, I get nothing. Not even the recovery screen. When I plug it into my computer I get the white light again but this time it stays solid. It still will not power up, or even access the recovery screen while plugged into the computer as well. Any suggestion on what might be wrong and what I might do to fix it? Please help someone!

XSP won't charge or boot

Hi
I am stuck with a phone that won't boot, charge, or be detected by flashtool (or windows) and will not boot in flashmode/fastboot either.
I had plugged in the phone for charging when the battery was considerably low ~ 5-10% before I went to sleep. I remember the red LED glowing, meaning the phone must've been charging.
The next morning I check the phone, the LED was STILL red and the handset was kind of dead - no response at all, whatsoever. Even the reset button on the bacl panel doesn't work (no vibration).
The phone was running BlissPop (5.1.1) with Tangerine kernel.
Now when I plug in the phone for charging, nothing happens at all, not even the red LED. The LED does glow red for as long as I press and hold the power button while it is plugged in (both PC and wall outlet)
I took it to the service center; they say they'll have to change the motherboard. Obviously the phone is not in warranty and there is no way I can pay 10,000 INR that Sony is demanding for the job.
Someone somewhere in the forums suggested allowing the battery to drain completely, but I don't think my battery is holding any charge.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

1. Press and hold the reset button for 8 seconds and check if it vibrates. Now plug in charger as there is a possibility that phone is not booting because of insufficient charge.
2. Charge for atleast 20 min without switching on phone.
3. Make sure flashtool is installed properly and so as drivers.
4. Flash Stock ftf
If the above didnt work then try Fastboot mode and simply flash Tangerine kernel.
If nothing works, then its an hardware issue and there is no point in spending 10k in repairing.
Get yourself a brand new Moto G or yureka.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717303 <- this guy had a pretty similar problem and managed to fix it
I was following the steps he provided: i plugged the phone to PC and held the power button pressed. Surprisingly the PC did recognize the phone after a while- but it was only momentarily and the red LED also stopped glowing. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce a similar situation after that.

bump!
