Have any of you had this issue? Suddenly my phone cut off my music and the screen looks like it's off and the charge lite is staying on solid. When I plug into my computer it doesn't show up as a drive so it acts like it's off. I also can't so a simulated battery pull it's not working. Sprint wants me to pay the insurance to replace because they saw corrosion in the charging port. Help please

I accidentally dropped my Nexus One when I was taking it out of my pocket.
Now, the touch screen or the charging port does not work
The screen turns on fine, and the trackball and power button work fine, but the screen isn't responsive at all.
In addition, the screen says that I have 0% battery left, even though I know I have well over 80% left.
I've tried to plug in a USB charger and it wouldn't recognize it at all. When I put it on the dock, however, it recognizes it, but still, there is no charging indicator.
Is the phone done for?
Thanks
With all those faults, maybe, but there might be hope. The digitizer connection and charging port internals are all based at the bottom of your phone and seeing that the power button still works then the bottom board is probably damaged. Try eBay for the parts. However if something has been physically damaged on the charging port then you'll have to make sure to change it too.
Update:
Phone is back to working state after numerous reboots and battery pulls.
Can anyone tell me why it was behaving this way?
Hello. Recently i bought SGS and didnt know of problem it has. It ran stock eclair. Once i plugged charger it started to chage but when i unplugged it showed i charge it anyway. I reset default settings but then phone showed that usb is plugged in although it wasnt. But the most annoying thing that i cannot turn it on if charger or usb not plugged in. After it shows start screen with samsung galaxy logo i can unplug it. If i do not plug charger in, then it start showing circle then grey battery and then restarts that same. I upgraded to gingerbread stock but booting problem still hapens each time. My husband tried to look inside the phone, in the charging port there were signs of liquid but all other parts of motherboard were clean. Dont know what to do. Phone works fine when i use it, no other complains.

try cleaning the USB port as mentioned here and also the image at the bottom, for a guide on how to identify where the problem may be to resolve it.

My husband cleaned the usb port, and i updated software. It is charging normally and usb recognizes it, but with a little delay, and also chen i unplug charger, phone detects it but with delay. But not turning on still present. it looks like in other posts battery bootloop. show little circle, then grey battery wih same circle and again. it tries to start even if i turn phone off. I turn it off, after 10 secs it starts to show that circle and grey battery.

I think those are hardware related problems. The problem when turned off could be that the phone knows that its getting charged not only through the voltage of the charger but also through a shortened (to mass?) pin. Maybe this pin is always shorted because of the liquid etc. you could try to clean it again or buy and change the usb port
Probably the phone have a history o drowning/soaking from water or some kind of liquid. If you could dismantle all the parts, but be sure you can assemble them again (try to search Youtube, I think there's a lot of guides on how to do it). Clean all parts with anti-static compress air in can, I think you can buy them from electronic shops. Give special cleaning on the USB port and buttons contacts. You can also blow-dry it with hair dryer.
Hope this helps solve your problem...
The power button broke on my Note 3, i reassemble the phone hopping to fix the problem, i found out the small dome shape piece of metal is out of its place and there is no way to put it back, also there is a tiny piece of clear reddish plastic to cover that metal dome, i found the whole circuit in amazon and i ordered one.
i closed the phone back after connecting all connectors back, i did that very carefully.
when i connect the charger (the phone is off) a gray battery icon shows for a couple of seconds then the phone screen become bright white for few seconds then turned off, the charging LED indicator is off. usually the battery icon changes to green with 5 green dots underneath it indicating the phone is charging.
if i disconnect the charging cable and put it back nothing happened, if i disconnect and connect the battery then plug the charger, the gray icon an white screen scenario above happened again.
I remove the battery overnight and tried it this morning, i got the same behavior again.
any help is really appreciated.
Phone: unlock ATT note 3 with custom ROM.
WOW, am I the only lucky one with this problem???
I found out that the battery is really charging, but neither led nor the screen are indicating anything, I figured it out when i noticed the battery is worm,
Also i was able to manage to boot my device by connecting the charger while pressing the Volume down and home button, i was able to go to download mode then restart the phone using volume up.
the phone is charging fine when it is on.
Not sure about the main issue if it caused by the Power button or something else.
Update:
I have a bad ROM causing too many problem, I flashed to NC2 4.4.2 and every thing is working, no wonder why nobody has this issue.
Thanks,
I accidentally dropped my very new Z3C in the bathroom [slid off the shelf]. As it hit the wet floor, the flap covering the USB and MicroSD slots opened up. Unfortunately, as I (clumsily) picked up the phone with my still wet hands I think I let in a couple of droplets of water inside. The water damage strip below the SD card slot turned pink, indicating water ingress. I turned the phone off (not immediately, but after 5-10 mins) and left the phone unused for a day and a half.
Now, I am able to charge the phone normally using a magnetic cable. Post charging, the phone is working normally. So basic functionality is back.
However, I ended up with the following problems -
1. USB Charging not working -
I'm not able to charge the phone with a USB charger - there is no charging indication on the phone when I plug in the charger at all.
To check this further, I fully drained the phone battery and tried charging with a USB charger. When I plug in a USB charger, the red charging light comes on for a minute or so, and the display shows an empty battery symbol with 1% charge. As the phone charging crosses the 1% threshold, the phone begins to start-up. From this point onward, the battery charging stops. The red LED light turns off and charging stops.
So, the USB port is physically working (and hence the red LED initially), but the phone stops accepting charge as soon as the phone boots. Could there be a software "fuse" or something which is shutting down the USB module after detecting some water damage?
2. Computer not recognizing phone connected with USB cable
The computer is not recognizing the phone when I try to connect it with a USB cable. It is as though I haven't connected any device at all - no pop-up / indication either on the phone or on the computer.
3. MicroSD cards are not working
As soon as the phone fell (and got wet), I remember that a message popped up on screen saying that the microSD card has been removed. After this, I removed the MicroSD card when I shut down the phone post the accident. Now, any microSD card I try isn't being recognized by the phone.
I took the phone to the Sony Service center, but they refused to repair it under warranty since the phone was "water damaged". With a very superficial examination, they decreed that the motherboard has to be replaced, which would cost > 80% of the phone's cost. With this, I don't see any value in approaching the Sony service center.
The way I see it, the damage appears to be minor - apart from the SD slot and the USB port, everything else is working normally. "Conceptually", I feel there should be a relatively inexpensive way to fix this [of course, this is more optimism speaking]. However, I don't know how to proceed from here. Any thoughts or ideas for fixing the phone would be extremely helpful.
I'm based in Bangalore, India. Any suggestions on mobile repair centers who might actually take a look at the phone would also be helpful.
Did you find a fix for this? I have the exact same problem.
nothing you can do except send to a third party repair centre tbh
I used a hair dryer and dryed it and it charges fine now. Only problem is notification light is only red and green.. no other colors..

Hi everyone,
I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I have a Samsung galaxy tab s2 8inch. It is the SM-T710.
It was working fine playing music on a Bluetooth speaker system then the battery died.
Tried to charge it and it was acting funny, said it was charging then got to one or two percent and i attempted to power on while the device is on charge and it powered on then turned off within a few seconds.
Let the tablet charge for a while now and its not really going up and the screen has gone off and its not turning on and i now notice its getting really hot at the bottom part of the screen slightly above the home button.
Removed the charger and left it for one hour, then came back and tried with a different new genuine Samsung charger and cable, and still getting extremely hot within a few 5 - 10 seconds just above the home button.
Unplugged it and left it till the next day and attempted to charge it again same thing.
I though it could be either: A faulty battery or A faulty Micro USB charging port flex (possibly short circuiting).
Now Ive opened up the whole device and taken apart every item on the mother board following a tear down video on YouTube.
I then connected a brand new genuine battery to the board and removed the old one, and the device was still overheating however this time i could pin point the exact source of heat on the motherboard which i will circle on an image but cant attach to this post as i need ten posts.
The images are on my public google drive but i cannot share the links here any ideas?
I then thought the micro USB charging port flex is causing a short circuit and so i completely disconnected that and the overheating problem still occurred.
Then i disconnected each and every component one by one and still the same thing on the motherboard keeps overheating excessively within seconds of connecting the battery to the motherboard.
Now Ive completely removed the motherboard from the frame and Ive connected the battery to it and same overheating issue.
Now Ive reconnected just the micro USB charging port back to the motherboard and attempted to plug a charging cable into the port and exactly the same thing still overheating excessively.
I really do not want to replace my motherboard simply because of the data on the device etc.
Can someone please tell me what the red circled item is in my image so i know what is overheating!
Could it be the CPU?
Is there ANY other way to replace JUST that part, even in china? Can anyone advise or help me?
Many thanks to the people who patiently read this and helped.

I guess the motherboard got corrupted
First off, do not boot up an almost empty device. Second, it is entirely normal that the bottom area (charging port, home button etc) gets hot while charging. It will fade after the battery got some essential energy. Third, do not deplete the battery completely, if possible. In the long run it may damage the longevity of the battery.
Was there ever a solution to this issue? I'm having the same problem.
