Phone won't turn on! - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, my phone was fine today, then I put in my bag and went to do stuff, when I came back, I found the phone not working (black screen, no responses).
I thought maybe the battery died, but when I put in the charger, still nothing happens (no charging LED notification, no charging screen). When I plugged it to a computer, it recognized it but still no LED/screen and I cannot access the phone (because of fingerprint security). Recovery and download mode obviously aren't working either.
What could it be? The phone is out of warranty as it's rooted.
Thank you!

Nevermind. I feel so dumb right now

My Xperia is rooted, has recovery and the bootloader is unlocked, I use the stock ROM.
It went smoothly (done it several months ago), but yesterday, the battery emptied so I put it on charge. Today I tried to turn it on, but it didn't work; whenever I press the power button, the LED blinks red. I tried fastboot and flashmode, but none of it works. My PC detects it as an unknown device when I try to turn it on. once
If that helps, it turns on once in a while with CWM.
Anyone can help?

EDIT: looks like I used a loose cable and the battery didn't charge at all. God, I feel so dumb.

hello;
I had the same problem , I searched on the web for solutions and found something like charging phone overnight , key combinations but nothing helped; my phone was completely dead ; but I did something and phone is now alive; I removed screw of the phone , opened panel; removed battery connector and connected phone to wall charger , by this time phone showed sony logo like on startup , then immediately connected battery connector and left phone to charge for several minutes ; it was showing only sony logo when was charging, after 15-20 minutes disconnected phone from charger , screen went off and after this i reconnected charger, it showed battery screen and started charging with battery and thunder logo; thats all, it was the only solution for me.

I'm so sorry for causing you the trouble of this....
Turned out that the cable I used is loose and it didn't charge or anything

HTC One charging in recovery but not system

Whatsup guys,
I have an HTC One M7 and it has been on duty since it launched without an issue (except for the pink camera hue). So recently I lost my original charger, and now am using an original charger from the One X I had before this one.
So a few days back, my battery drained so I plugged it in and the battery icon with a thunder sign in it appeared with some red words underneath it stating that I have developer software (duh I use ARHD). All the usual stuff. But the next morning I wake up to the same screen and when I try to turn it on, it won't. All I could do for a while, was to plug it in, have the icon appear and nothing else. Leading me to believe that the plug in the phone was damaged.
So after a couple of days of suffering without my One, I managed to make it turn on by plugging in a Nokia charger for an hour and upon pressing the power button, Voila! it turned on. So first thing I tested was to see if it would charge, and it does NOT. I plugged many chargers I have around the house and even to the computer and none seems to register on the device, the computer doesn't detect a device being connected.
Now here comes the strange part. When I go into recovery or even the bootloader, the phone gets recognized no problem, I can even send commands to it through ADB. I'm suspecting something with the bootloader going on? What do you guys think?

No Charging [Edit: The Phone is crazy][Edit 2: Game Over]

Hi everyone!
A few minutes before, I was using my phone and it just turn off... Black screen and I have to turn it on again with the power botton. For the moment I think that was an issue with the firmware that I recently flashed over flashtools, is the last unbranded firmware of USA and it was working excelent.
The thing is that I pluged it to the PC with USB to download a photos and my computer didnt realise that the phone was pluged. I try every USB port of the PC and no one works. Also, the phone dont turn on the charging led.
I plug it to the wall with the USB charger and nothing... The battery was over 48% and suddenly it turns off... Then the screen shows me the battery image with 16% and it dont charge anything... It was working fine over my desktop, until that happened. I didnt drop it never, I never used an other charger, allways the original.
PD: Now the battery image says 15% (the phone is pluged to the wall)
Edit: I Just turn on the phone to make a fast backup and the battery says "17%"
Edit2: The magnetic cable charges the phone.... Randomly restarts. One time it just freezes and the speker emit a little "biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip" and just auto-restart. I think that is big hardware problem... Or something else that I didnt know:crying:
What was the status of your phone in terms of locked / unlocked, recovery, ROM etc.? Can you still get to flash mode?

Hey man, the phone had a Retail Spain firmware. The only thing I "put hand" was flashing with Xperia Flashtool to the last United States firmware available. Not rooted, bootloader unlock allowed but I didnt unlocked it. You can say is "original".
The phone charges normally with a Magnetic cable (same original charger for the USB cable).
When the battery rise over 50%, when you turn off the screen, the phone autoreboot. With the scree ON you can use the phone perfectly.
I charged to 100% with magnetic cable. I turned it off. Then, a 2 o 3 days later, I dissambled it thinking that water could get inside, but I dont found anything, all the components were in perfect conditions.
After I re-ensabled it, the phone dont turn on and the screen show the low battery icon... So I plugged it to the wall with USB, the red light turned on, and after a 30 minutes it stop "charging", so I put the magnetic cable and the battery after a little more than an hour and half more, rise to 100%... Now the phone not reboot it self, it works perfectly except the USB port.
No starting Flashmode, no chargin via USB unless the battery is COMPLETLY empty, then it charges to 1% and continues with magnetic cable. The PC dont even knows when I plug the phone.
I know, I lose the warranty when I open the phone, but I bought it at 10.000 km away from my town. :crying:

Xperia z sudden death

I REALLY need help
Sometimes when i plug the charger into my Xperia z, it instantly shuts off and boots on
A week ago, i plugged it in, it restarted and i went to lunch.
When i came back, i couldnt turn the Phone on, i literally tried EVERYTGING (every buttom combination possible), the LED didnt turn on and the Phone didnt respond to anything.
Just completely dead.
I charged it for 3 h and because the LED didnt even turn on while charging, i thought the battery might be broken.
So i removed the backcover, unplugged the battery and plugged in the charger.
There was finally a sign of hope when the LED turnt red, but as soon as i plugged the battery in again (with the charging cable still in) the LED turnt off.
So i ordered a new battery, put it in and charged it for 2h, still the exact same issue.
If anyone has a clue of whats the issue or experienced it himself, please help me.
Phone specs:
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom dual recovery with twrp and philz recovery installed, stock rom with android 5.0.1, about 2.5 years old, perfectly functioning until this issue occured

Phone died for no reason at all, now alive, but won't charge/connect to PC

So it all started suddenly for no reason at all. It just went off. The same way it had gone off, it came back to life, again, for no obvious reason. I just left it charging overnight. Now it boots up just fine, but my PC won't detect it, regardless of its current state, i.e. Flashmode, fastboot mode or on the OS. I also tried another PC, no clue. FYI, when the phone is on and I connect it to my PC, absolutely nothing happens. No light or anything. And when it is off and I plug it in, the red light turns on and the battery sign shows up, but it's not actually charging.
Oh, and, I do have proper drivers for everything installed, along with Flashtools.
