Streak 7 dead! Help is appreciated

So I have a streak 7 wifi only model. A few nights ago I upgraded manually to HC 3.2 with no problems. System seemed normal and everything in life was good. I forgot to charge my streak and when I woke up it was dead as expected as the battery was already low. So I plugged it in and let it sit for a few hours. Didn't even occur to me the light never came on for charging. So I figured I must have forgot to plug it in. When I looked it was plugged in correctly. So I plugged it in yesterday and let it sit for 24hrs and still no juice in the battery. I have tried unplugging the cable and reconnecting. I have tried using the power reset pin. I have tried different usb charging adapters. As I said it is dead so I can't get into the recovery menu to perform a factory reset. The power cord I got was just shipped to me on Tuesday Oct. 4 from Dell and worked fine when I first used it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this as it may not be the cord but the converter itself. Plug in the USB to a computer that is ON and RUNNING. In other words...not in sleep mode. Let it sit for a few hours and also note if the light comes on. It just may be the converter may have gone bad. Also try by resetting in using a needle and push it in the small hole to reset it.

Do you have the original charger and the cable that was received from Dell is the right cable? I had one shipped from China and all it does is trickle charge, the original cable from Dell that came with my unit charges it in less than an hour on the same charger. Make sure your charger has at least 2 Amps output, cheap 1 Amps will only trickle charge

I want to thank you both for your responses. I have had it charging for about 3-4 days now and it has not worked no matter what I try. I called Dell and they are sending out a new unit. It is scheduled to arrive today.

Plug a charger and force power off with a button(A small hole) next to SD card. Mine sometimes freezes not responding after screen off so I just do this trick, power on it and OMG it works
Cheers

Thanks - this worked for me

[Q] Is my Nexus 7 dead? Please give me options to charge/turn on

Good evening everyone, I have a Nexus 7 8gb, but the thing is, I cannot turn it on now.
It happened as follows:
I was using it every now and then, mostly to read and play.
I was using the charger to charge my cellphone too (XTC Explorer) as it was a lot faster, being 2amp/h.
I updated the cell to 4.1 and at the same week noted the battery wasn't running that long, but blamed it to the rom.
The cellphone also took a lot longer to charge with the nexus charger, yet again I blamed the rom.
I noticed the Nex was at 8% while reading so decided to charge it, but I guess I forgotten.
The next time I wanted to use it it wouldn't turn on. I figure it had no battery.
I plugged the nexus charger to the nexus a whole night and in the morning it still wouldn't turn on.
I figured something must be wrong with the charger, so I tried with the cellphone and nook color charger, but both are .5 amps/hour.
It wouldn't charge, neither connected to the pc (also .5a/h via usb) so I tried a psp go charger, as it is rated at 1.5 amp/hour, much closer.
I connected it at night and saw the charging icon (white on black battery with the ray) and left it overnight.
The next morning it wouldn't turn on either.
I've bought it almost two months ago and I really enjoy it =) but now I'm desperate.
I cannot call google play for the warrant because I'm in Argentina, and I don't believe they will ship me a replacement, nor anything. This one my brother bought from them, but he went back to US a few days ago, and I didn't think of giving it to him to RMA.
I tried keeping the on button, for 5 secs, 30 sec, 90 secs, 120 secs, and no dice. Also tried holding the Up Volume key to restart it, but no chance.
Please help!

Had a similar issue to this over the weekend after not charging for 2 days and the battery going dead. I let it sit on the original charger overnight and for some reason it did not charge. It kept booting and shutting down once it booted due to a low battery warning. It eventually got to the point where the screen would go to fuzzy lines and light but no boot.
To finally get it working I did a combination of a few things but don't actually know what got it going.
Put it on a different (kindle) charger and let it sit for an hour or 2, did several hard resets holding both just the power and also the up/down volume and power all at the same time for up to 60 plus seconds. I switched back to the stock charger and did an additional hard boot by holding just the power for 30+ seconds and it started booting and charging.
I did however put it on the charge again last night and noticed this morning it was still at half battery and didn't get a charge. I ended up putting it on a mifi charger this morning and it's charging again so don't know what is up with the stock charger. Also, have all the latest updates to 4.2 as far as I know as there have been charging issues reported with earlier versions...

Try this, it just saved my device:

try holding down the volume DOWN and the power key for 10 seconds, then release the power key and keep the volume down key pressed, and it will force the unit to restart into the bootloader from any stage, its effectively like pushing the restart button on the front of a computer and constantly pressing the delete key to get into the bios.

[Q] Help please - Phone Bricked

I bought a Moto G 2014 Dual Sim XT1068 back in November and hadn't had any issues with it until today. I bought an anger 3000MaH portable battery pack and was amazed at how quickly it charged my phone. I used it yesterday and charged it overnight. I used it throughout today. I turned it off around midday and plugged it into my charger. When I attempted to turn it on later nothing happened. No, please charge, no **** has crashed, just nothing. The screen just stays dark. My computer no longer recognises it as a device and my portable charger will no longer recognise it as a phone to be charged, I know this because it worked with a friends phone, but not mine, and it still has battery (the charger)
What should I do?
Do I use ADB, ask Anker, return it, what is my best course of action?
If anyone knows what to do please reply as until this is fixed I do not have any ideas.
PS; No rooting, bootloader unlocking, or use of custom ROMs has occurred, the phone is completely using stock android.

I soft-bricked mine yesterday because TWRP kept crashing when I flashed my ROM. During my search for a solution I ran into a post from a guy with a similar problem of yours. His phone wouldn't charge at all.
He solved his problem by pressing PWR+VolDwn for 3 minutes. Then plug it in to a charger and leave it be. And make sure to use a proper charger (cable straight from the wall preferably)
Give that a try. Try ruling out a hardware problem. And return it as a last resort. Good luck

TRY this plug in charger and hold power for 2 mins+ to force a reset and forced boot up - holding for 120 seconds + is the key and repeat charger cable must be plugged in.
- power and volume down is normally to get to AP fastboot flash mode, agreed a good wall charger is needed not usb port power.

Okey, you are probably right. I was quoting from my foggy mind

HTC one mini 2 bricked

my htc one mini 2 warranty just ended 2 months ago. All of a sudden my phone started getting very hot and the battery drained out fast. i turned it off and rebooted it several times. it stopped getting hot but coudnt properly charge. i left it for charging overnight and in the morning it was charged to only 23%. later i kept plugging it here and there to keep it charged and it kept showing messages ,something like your phone is using too much power than the adapter can supply. The last time it was plugged into my laptop with the usb cable and it woudnt charge more than 1%. I unplugged the fone after a while it was dead and hasnt awaken since the last three days. ive tried everything i could find on the internet. pressing the power and vol up button,power and vol down button, power and both the volume buttons for more than 2 mins. Left it for charging overnight using the wall socket charger but it just doesnt boot no matter what and i really need to retrieve my data from it. Does any one have any advice, atleast something to recover the data from it?

1-are you using htc original cable?
2-is it really charging(check light when you leave the phone).
3- if is the battery, contact HTC, they usually fix for free when its hardware problems. even off warranty.

If HTC provides Sub-Pba (charging part) separate for this model then your are lucky, other wise its just Pba (main board) and you will lose your data, could be battery only, better try with HTC.
Too late charging means of the 5-6 pins in the USB port only 1 or 2 are accepting electricity.

My original charger broke a while ago so ive been using a motorola charger, i suppose thats what caused the issue
there are no lights no indication of my phone being alive...its just plain dead
I will try to take it to htc but they usually ask people to backup their data which i want to do badly

Dead MI5

Since three months or so, got this problem with my mi5 32GB version. It turns dead (no led, sound, display... nothing, even connected to pc or wall charger). Pressing power and volume up down do nothing. But then 4 or 5 days later, somtimes more, when pressing these buttons, it's on. One day later or sometimes couple of hours later, it turns dead.
Could the battery be the cause of this problem, or may be the unofficial charger i use? could anyone please help. Thanks

How long do you have it? Have you tried different charger?

After almost 10 days dead, i was thinking there is no more hope. But today it's on. I accidently put it in front of the sun for about half an hour. when i take it, it was so hot. when pressing the three buttons as always, the mi logo is there. the phone is on.
I think the unofficial quick charger i use, the aukey charger, is maybe the problem.
I don't have the official charger, is it fine using a simple usb charger, not quick.

That's strange, I myself have Aukey charger. But if it's fine with standard charger, theres probably something wrong with QC.
