I went to turn on my phone this morning and everything stayed black (no LED, no capacitive buttons were illuminated).
I've tried every single button combination involving home, volume, and power, but nothing is awaking the device.
When I plug the phone in, it gets warm, so I don't believe the battery is completely dead.
Thank you so much in advance for the help.

So I took my charger with me to class today because my phone was almost dead. As it was charging I began to fiddle with it ex: go on reddit . Suddenly The phone began to lag and the screen shut off. I unplugged it and began to hold down the power button.... Had it held down for about a minute and still no results. The charging light is stuck green even when off the charger and the navigation buttons are stuck on. When holding down the power button the navigation buttons would also flash as it normally does but im not getting any feedback from the device. Anyone have any solutions? I need my phone to be working asap. If there isnt any hope i may as well upgrade.
Little update: I let the battery die out and plugged it into the charger. After half hour it still wouldn't turn on. Several hours after that I found it on and running. Very strange....
I was using my Nook HD+, when the screen suddenly showed lines all across it and froze. I had to push down the power button for 8 seconds to shut it down. Then could not turn it on. Tried all possible combinations, power, power+n, power+n+volume up keys for 5 seconds and for 30 seconds each time. Still not turning on. I tried plugging it in (although it had about 40% charge left before the screen froze) and noticed that the charging indicator glows green. If I push down the power button for 8 seconds, the light goes off, but if i press the button again, it comes back on. I've tried all the methods I saw on internet, except for draining the battery because the post suggested keeping it in a fridge, which I'm hesitant and also not in a position to do. Please help guys. I'm at a total loss.

Have you tried unplugging the battery from the MB wait 30 secs then plug it back in and charge it .(you have to remove the rear cover of course) I have had this issue with 3 HD+ units and it worked everytime.
The other day my Z3 Compact drained completely, and ever since then it has been acting weird. After I drained it completely I was able to charge it fine and use it for the day, and I plugged it in at night. When I woke up, it wouldn't turn on or respond to anything I did. I tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds, holding the power button and volume up button, pressing the yellow reset button, plugging it into the computer and running the repair software, nothing would get it to work. Finally today it turned on when I plugged it into my computer, but it's still acting weird. I was unable to update it using the Sony Bridge software, and it is charging extremely slowly. The LED indicator is red, even though the phone is on now and says it's at 50% battery.
Any thoughts?

Hi all,
plugged my phone in overnight to charge as usual. Woke up this morning and it was off. I presumed it hadn't charged properly so plugged it into multiple other chargers/battery packs etc. and nothing is happening.
I have it plugged in right now and it's just all black and the charging light isn't even on.
If I press the power button, the charging light comes on, stays on for a few seconds then goes off.
If I press and hold the power button then nothing. If I press and hold the power+UP nothing happens, if I press and hold the power+DOWN nothing happens at all.
My 'guess' is that the battery is so knackered (3yr old phone) that it's depletion overnight just emptied the battery so much that it just wont recover now and take any charge.
Looking for any and all suggestions of things I can try.
Hold power, volup, and voldown simultaneously.
Try connect it to computer, boot in flash mode and flash FW via FlashTool. Possible is that the FW got messed up... everything is possible.
Managed to get it going finally. Wouldn't charge, didn't anything. Plugged it into PC, loaded flashtool and it recognised it. Nothing happened though so was talking to tech support and magically after like half an hour talking to them it suddenly booted with 1% battery life.
It'd now charged and running ok

Glad to hear that
Hi,
My Mi5 won't start now. It was having about 60% when I switched on NFC for the first time. I may have switched the NFC on and off a couple of time. Then I inserted the phone into its case , and by mistake the wrong way which might have pressed the power button / volume button , while I was inserting the phone into the case I noticed the phone was turning off. Quickly I realized the phone went the wrong way into the case and I removed and reinserted it and then pressed the power button, but nothing happened. Tried pressing volume up / down / power button but no use. But the phone was warm.
Now, the only sign of life in the phone is when charging it using the regular original charger. The light is initially purple and then turns to green but then it switches off. Tried connecting it to laptop but does not show anything. Also, the safe mode boot method does not work. So, the phone does charge but pressing power button does not turn it on but just makes it warm (some kind of startup loop)
I've been using the phone for last more than 2 years and it has original setup and updates are automatic and regular.
Just don't want to trash the phone if it can be revived.
Looking for advise.
Thanks
