My Droid 4 will no longer charge nor turn on. The only time I get any response out of it is when I plug it into a computer. The green led turns on for about 5 seconds and then the light turns off.
Can anyone help me fix it? Thanks

I'vw got this problem in Motorola Atrix
You probably must buy motorola factory cable (~10$)
You can also try this

But probably only factory cable can fix it

Other things to check
when connected to PC, did you look in device manager?
when connected to pc, did you hold volume down and power, for 15-20 secs?

If you can find a small straightblade screwdriver (think the size you would fix glasses with) and insert it into the top of the screw at an angle, you may be able to catch the inside corners of the torx socket enough to turn the screw. This is what I had to do with mine before I got around to buying a cheap set of torx drivers on ebay.
I've found that loosening one screw a couple turns is usually enough to make the battery lose contact, but as sd_shadow said, you can completely disconnect the battery without removing it in any case (the connector is on a flexible ribbon cable).
A straightblade screwdriver isn't a highly repeatable solution by any means; using it instead of the proper torx bit will gradually damage the socket on the screw. But you can definitely get away with doing it once just to "pull" the battery.

It is possible that the LCD has failed, and needs to be replaced.
you have tried? with factory cable connected, hold power and volume down for 15-20 secs

I don't think its the LCD because the device doesn't charge when connected to a wall outlet, only when connected to a computer (and only for 30 secs then 5 secs after that).
Tried that too with no luck

I have a very strange issue.
A friend of mine gave me a Dell Streak 7 that he said would not boot. I got it from him and have started looking at it.
When I hold the power button down, the nav buttons light up, but the power light flashes red 5 times and it all shuts off.
I am assuming that it has done this for a while for the guy so I am not thinking that the battery is dead.
I have hit the reset button with a pin, (felt it click) but that did nothing.
Any ideas?

If you leave it on for hours the back of it will get warm enough to feel with your hand.
Figured it out... It is either the charging cable or the slot for the charger.... If you get the cable in just the perfect slot, it will charge.....

Hello,
I dropped my HTC One to a hard floor today, from height of less than 50cm (20").
The screen was on before the fall, battery was >90%, everything was working. After the fall, the screen was off, led off, nothing happening from any buttons.
I have tried long-pressing powerbutton, powerbutton+volume, no effect.
I have tried charging, no effect. Even the charging led doesnt work.
I also tried powering it on under bright light (?), no effect.
I had my bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and Android Revolution HD rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)
The phone had Nillkin protective case (http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/htcdopod/nillkin-htc-one-m7-hard-protective-case.html). I can see no physical damage on the phone, not even a smallest scratch..
Any ideas, what can I try to get it working, before sending it for repair? (Let's hope it goes for warranty. I really don't think it should die for such a small impact..) All ideas welcome!
*EDIT* My phone was working for a second, but broke again. In repair now.

Hey! I just put it in a charger again, and after a minute I suddenly noticed that the charging led light up! I tried pressing the power button, and it booted to bootloader!
I then went to fastboot -> Reboot, to get it to boot normally..
There was a sudden flash of the HTC logo (boot logo). Lasted less than half a second, then it died again.
Now it seems completely dead again..
Low battery

Shouldn't be. I had it >90% when It first went dead..
Now it's on charger and doesn't show the charging light.
It also was on the charger the whole time, when I last got it to bootloader and when it died again.

I'm having exact same problems except I did not even drop my phone, the screen and phone went dead as I was using it. I've been charging it for hours, no response from any lights or anything. I have tried pushing the buttons to force a reset to no avail. When I plug it into my computer it does not recognize it or even acknowledge that it's there.
Hey, my phone works again!
For the millionth time, I tried to start up my phone. No reaction.
Then I connected it to the charger, and the charging light came up.
I then pressed the power button... And it started! Now it works 100% normally, I have shut it down and rebooted and shaked and tilted and knocked it and removed charger and everything, it just keeps working 100% normally! And the battery was at 99% when I got it started.
I don't think the initial cause could be something (battery?) connected loosely, as it just started working all of sudden, and I cannot easily reproduce the error!?
Well, I'm glad it works now. And I'm glad I chose HTC One over GS4.. Self-repairing cellphones in 2013... What next?
Good, i'm happy that your one works fine!!

hello everybody,
yesterday, when my phone was on the desk, it started to reboot.
it goes to the logo and then reboots again. I've tried booting into recovery mode and it's not having it (and I'm sure I'm doing it correctly). I can boot into Download mode, but only for a few seconds (about five) then it reboots again.
it sounds like the power button stuck down infact I can hold the home button and volume down and it'll boot into Download mode!
but I don't think the actual button is stuck, though. It still clicks.
i try to leave phone without battery for about one hour:no changes
So i decide to buy a new battery to exclude it from the list of possible faults, and the new battery work like the old one.
So i open the phone and clean it with crc spray to avoid oxidation problem (the phone was never in contact with water).
No changes.
So i test the power button and it seems work (i say seems because i'm not sure about how its working) i resolder it and no changes.
finaly i leave the phone without battery in the nigth (about six hours) and no changes.
during my internet research i found another guy that have same problem and he solves it leaving the phone without battery for 3 days(I can't post link...i'm noob)
I'm not sure what to do. There's no logical explanation for this to happen. It's been working fine up until now.

When plugged in charger, a short green blink flashes and that's it. Doesn't turn on, doesn't react anyhow. Tried the trick with holding Volume - key and Power Up for 120 seconds and it just blinks again and nothing more. Left for 12 hours, doesn't charge at all. Tried different cables and chargers, and laptops and computers. Nothing makes it turn on.
If connected to the compuer, it is detected as USB device ( after drivers install ) also it is detected as а QHSUSB_BULK but drivers not found. RSD Lite doesn't detect the phone as anything.
Is there any other trick to turn this thing on?

Insert the cable into your phone,
Press the power button (until the battery charge screen appears)
Then go to bootloader mode
If the charging battery screen does not appear, wait 5 minutes
