Plug in the AC adapter and see if LED is indicating. You might also leave it for a few hours to charge.

no leds indicating, no activity, nothing

The mother board battery is not to be messed with. That keeps the ROM sub logic alive even when the battery is gone. This is one of cases that I would send to service center if I wanted to keep it. Sounds like other things are questionable since the motherboard battery has been tampered with. Sell the case, buttons screen, external bits. But the motherboard is trash.

I'm give ya $100 for it as-is

Problem: don't recognize charger & don't go in USB mode!

I've a problem after (more than one) firmware update....
My P970 don't recognize recognize charger & don't go in USB mode (PC don't view the SD card)
I try CM7 and Nova, I also have a brick after flashed a kernel Nova in a Rom stock.
After that I put a new Rom stock v10c by KDZ but now have this terrible problem....
How can I solve it....?
Many thanks

have you tried to do an hard reset?

Yes by enter in the hidden menu (3845#*970#) but nothing change....

I have the same problem since 2 months. I'm currently with the last temasek Kang release, kernel nova 11c.
The only way to charge correctly the battery is to wait the phone self extinction, by low battery, wait around 10 minutes, and plug the charger. Another weird thing: when I plug the shut down phone to sector, it will autoboot (everytime).
Else, when I try to charge the phone, 2 different behaviours:
1) most of time it charges anyway, but not detected as charging. The phone overheat, and could self extinct because of that. Time of use with a battery charged like that is very poor.
2) sometimes, nothing happen. No charge.
I'm very bored by this bug.

Check your USB cables, the pins inside. As well as the USB connector on the phone itself. Use a different cable. I/we never had this kind of problem (not charging so it isn't a bug or something but rather hardware problem. If not USB, battery problem.
If not, do a full wipe and reflash the KANGed RC0. If problems persists, revert to Froyo stock so you could test. I'm after the warranty for you if you still have the problem in Froyo.
That auto reboot is well known for CM7. Again, this also is not a bug but a feature.

Checked with 3 different cables and several chargers (including original ones). Phone USB connector seems OK, but cannot really check it.

Did full wipes several times, but no effect. It's hard to go back to stock Froyo without phone-to-computer connection, and I don't want to loose ability to root my OB after that.

Anyway, thanks for all. If we are only few people with this bug, it seems to be a material failure indeed.
I may look for the warranty, but as I changed country (from EU to Canada), it will be quite complicated, and I need my phone :/. Just a (stupid) idea, maybe the phone didn't support the 110V, after 220V charging usage (but charger should support these 2 voltages).

If not, do a full wipe and reflash the KANGed RC0. If problems persists, revert to Froyo stock so you could test. I'm after the warranty for you if you still have the problem in Froyo.

I come back to v10b europe, across a lot of wipe....
Fortunatly the charger was recognized....
The problem was't "don't charge" but "not recognized"
Unfortunately today try to flash the Quasar kernel, and now I have the same problem.....
The charger, charge, but don't recognized and the USB to PC don't work's.....!!!

Turn phone off
Remove battery
Wait 10 seconds
Put battery back.
Turn phone on

I had this issue on my Optimus Black with stock Froyo rom.
My symptoms were:
- device recognized as 'modem' in Windows but no option in Android to switch into "USB Mode". Phone update software would still recognise phone was connected and I could run a firmware recovery using LG tools. Reflashed and reset to factory many times didn't fix the issue.
- if phone switched off and plugged into charger or USB would go into "SW Upgrade" mode
- I could force "USB mode" to appear on the phone by opening the hidden menu and switching the USB to "AP Mode" I think it was.
- I found the USB connections would disconnect after a period of time and sometimes the "AP mode" workaround wouldn't work.
- tried different cables, chargers and PCs and all present the same problems.
- having the battery unplugged for an extended period would get the phone working temporarily but the problem would come back after a short while.
Eventually got on to LG Support and sent it off for repair. They replaced the motherboard as faulty.
I think the problem may have been caused by a faulty car charger that I have since replaced, but ultimately replacing the motherboard on the phone fixed the problem.
If your phone is covered under warranty, I'd be sending it off for repair as it is probably a hardware issue.

Ask no Problem

I'm having same problem as stated by others. This is annoying me.
Its just been 2 months I've got this phone and it feels real bad to face such problems so soon.
Am facing problems like. I connected my phone to PC via USB and it showed me the option to Turn on Mass Storage, I clicked on it and it showed me the Mass Storage Drive on my PC too. But in just minute or two it disconnected on its own and SD Card started scanning and again it got connected by its own but then after that it disconnected again and it on pc it started to install drivers again. Which were already installed like 5 or 6 of them.
I formatted the phone twice. Removed the battery for around 5-6 minutes. Used like 4 USB cables. Installed LGE drivers from LGE Software updater.
This is so bad.

What software are you guys using? Which ROM?

I've also been experiencing this situation, one time this problem caused a loss of all my SD data! (my sd card got corrupted)
I'm on Zeus V6.11 right now, and I must say that USB storage is working great for me in CWM Recovery, even though it doesn't work on my phone when it's turned on in Android.
How to check whether it's an hardware problem in my phone, or just a fault of my compuer?

Experiencing this problem for around two months now. I suspect my charger to be damaged. Since I can charge the phone via the USB port. When I try to charge the phone via the charger it doesn't respond, but when I pull it off the charger the phone will boot. Had the motherboard already replaced by LG service center, but the problem wasn't solved.
The phone can connect to PC without any problems. PC can connect to mass storage.
So now, I'm using a Corby II charger and it seems to do a great job at charging my OB

Currently I'm using Stock Root v20b rom.
No software's nothing, as I stated I even formatted my phone twice.
It was working well around 2 days back. I had just plugged my usb cable to phone via pc and then all of a sudden the phone started acting weird, like it was connecting and disconnecting frequently, and then it started to install the LGE drivers by itself, which were already installed didn't even touch them nor uninstalled anything.
Tried using Sony Xperia Neo V's USB cable too, but no luck.

Once I lost my USB cable.
then i brought a cheap uUSB cable. Icud transfer data from PC, but charging rate was really very SLOW... nearly 4hr.!!
Now i replaced it with new Original one, n every thing working Perfect...

I am seeing the same problems - charger is not recognized and USB mode is not working. Different cables / chargers, different Win7 and Ubuntu PCs.
I formerly used a rooted V20o from here, with which the problem first appeared, now I went over to Zeus 6.22, which still shows the same problems.
I believe the hardware is faulty.
Can anybody help me how to regain warranty? I have the stock V20o (unrooted), but since USB does not work, I cannot flash it the regular way. Is it possible now to flash from sd card?

Try with LG standard update software, you have the emergency menu....

If you want to viwe your sd card try the Samba Filesharing app. I have the same problem on cm7 and with this App i can see my SD Card

Problems charging my s advance!! ):

I need help!
I detail the problem I'm having.
A few days ago I'm having problems with my phone, after fully or partially charged my battery, when I unplug the original charger or PC, on my phone still appearing as "loading or loaded" and when I try to connect again longer loads , I try restarting the phone and then I figure I have the actual battery and leaves me no charging, but if I try to plug in the charger that does not recognize me, and not charge the phone and to re-detect it necessarily must remove your battery and turn it on with the charger set to charge me normally.
If you think it is the charger jack, ALWAYS connect the charger with the phone off, I fully recognize the phone at the first time, no need to connect several times or move the cable.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
My OS: 10.1 Cyanogenmod Nightly with Jelly Bean.
This problem appeared after using me for 3 or 4 weeks the Cyanogenmod so I do not think it's exactly that reason.
I've tried reinstalling the custom ROM, and also did the Wipe cache, the dalvik cache, and factory reset, I had a single result.
I have also blown my phone and connect the cables.
Check my connector is not damaged.
Probe with other original chargers.
I loaded the original firmware samsung and still the problem
Finally, i tried all possible methods that can extend my knowledge techs, can someone give me a hand that knows how to fix it or someone who has gone through this problem?
Please solutions have not tried yet and that may be effective! Thank you!

We can't tell that unless we can take a look at your device, but you can take your phone to a Repair shop and get it fixed right?
And did you let the phone completely discharge the battery then turn it on by connecting the charger? One more thing, make sure that your charging port is clean because dusts might cause this problem maybe....

I have not really tested yet cleaning up the connector, no more blowing it.
Could lead to a technician for repair but I honestly is the last thing you would want to do not for money but it at least in my country there is no trained technicians repair and when you do not always look good then, sequels often fall ill repair and the technicians do not take care and also are not cheap, even sometimes prefer to buy a new phone before sending it to repair ..

Guys today faced a strange issue. In the afternoon I connected my phone to the charger as my battery was only 16% left. It started charging. Then right now when I picked up my phone I was shocked to see that it was still 16% and charging. Same "connect your phone to a power supply etc" appeared. Then I disconnected the charger and reinserted it. Now it is showing 19%. That means it is now charging. Could you please tell me what could have been the issue?

battery problem ?

i have a problem when charging battery,m
y battery is only charged from pc (sub charging), when i plagued the phone to ac source the battery is decharging.
ans some time when i reboot phone the battery level indicate low value (60% to 20%)
is this a battery problem or usb connector?
help please.

Please start using the search button.
This problem didn't occur for the first time on your so special device.
For a start (but of course not wanting to ruin your chance to search yourself): replace the battery with a new one.

Heat issues?

Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 dead.

G'day folks
Newbie; not very tech savvy. Galacy Ace GT-S5830 suddenly dead. Tried reset code Power + Home; nothing. Hooked up to charger and tried again; nothing. Tried Home + Power + Vol - and Vol+, also nothing. Hooked up to PC, and Home + Power + Vol- gets Downloading... to show on screen but nothing else.
Since discovered battery faulty; won't hold any charge even when out of phone.
Could faulty battery have caused the failure during my earlier attempts to reset?
Have I ruined my software?
Can the phone be restarted without a battery to check/recover it, or do I need a new battery first?
Cheers

I am currently attempting to make a warranty claim for this replacement battery which suddenly failed after 8 months but the supplier is claiming it is "normal wear and tear" so we will see how that pans out.
I wonder if I can do any further testing of the phone using this battery only while phone is on charger or attached to PC. I presume the charger or USB port should provide all necessary power, and a faulty battery (or even absence of a battery) should not prevent this? Or is it not possible to do any further testing or resetting until I have another good battery in the phone?
I also wonder if any of the resetting keystroke sequences I have used already have wiped the existing software straight away, before any commands or inputs were confirmed? e.g.; does putting the phone into "Downloading..." or "RAMDUMP (ARM9)" modes automatically wipe the software?
I guess I am trying to ascertain whether the current failure to boot up is due to the faulty battery in the phone while powered by charger or USB, or whether the software has been wiped?
Clarifying these questions will help me decide whether it is worthwhile continuing with this phone or not.

Hugh relief; the phone is fine. Another battery has allowed the phone to come back to life as usual, and even charge properly, apparently. (I borrowed a smaller battery from a Nokia and had to hold it in place, but it worked.)
So the answers in this case appear to be: yes, faulty battery can cause phone to do lots of weird things including be non-responsive even on the charger, and no, attempting resets doesn't necessarily ruin the phone software.
Thanks and Cheers
