Hey Everyone, so i got a note 5 from someone to fix or to trash so i decided to try and fix it.
The person i got it from stated she was charging the phone one night (blue charging light on) and took it off the charger but the screen would not turn on.
She hard reset the phone by pressing the power button and tried to turn it back on, after that no screen but only a blue light at the top of the phone stayed on.
She again turned it off and took it in for repairs. They could not find out what was wrong with the phone, didnt seem dead, battery was fine no damage at all to this device (zero not even a scratch on the screen)
So now, i got the device and when plugged into the computer, i dont get any sort of lights on the phone, nothing on the screen, the phone will briefly show in the device manager then it will be gone, i can hold down the power button and it shows Exynos7420 in the device manager, i let go of the power and it goes away.
Phone is 100% dead.
IS the device hard bricked?
Hard ware issue?
Just looking for ideas to bring a basically perfect condition phone back to life for some use.
Thanks guys

Hello, I know there are many posts about dead Diamonds but I think my situation is different. I went to sleep one night and left my HTC to charge from my PC's USB. It was charging correctly because I noticed the light around the center button. All good. When I woke up, the charging light was still present and I unplugged the phone from the USB and the light was still surrounding the center button. The screen wouldn't turn on so I had to remove the battery. After I removed the battery and place it again in my HTC, it didn't want to turn on... I have tried to recharge it but the light doesn't flash anymore.. Not on my 220 socket, not on USB... I have a ROM found on this forum and been using it for 8 months with no problem... I just found my HTC froze at the charging step and removed the battery. After that it just won't start... I have managed two times to power on the device by it's normal power button but when it gets to the home screen, it freezes and I have to remove the battery again. It's been 7 days now and I can't power on once... Do you have any idea what happened ?
Thank you
If it keeps freezing at the home screen you are going to have to do a hard
re-set to unlock it. My Diamond froze at the home screen once when it was
new. I did a hard reset and it was fine after that. You will lose your data.

thanks of any tip or advise thank you very much
am having the same problem
i've got the same issue here, i can't recharge my htc diamond, the charging light won't show up or it shows up twice and then nothing..i managed to start the device a couple of times but it's really strange beacuse the battery level is signe always at zero and then the device restarts itself ...
so, resuming:
i can't recharge the device
it freezes sometimes
how can i fix this problem?...
I don't use my G1 anymore, but I'd like to get some ics on it for ****s and giggles. Unfortunately the phone seems to have forgotten how to work.
I was happily running CM 5.0.7 or somesuch a while ago, when it decided to just power off and not turn back on. After pressing the power button many times it magically came on again... for 15 minutes. This went on for a while before it flat out wouldn't turn on at all. I thought it was the battery, so I got a new battery. This didn't help.
So I put the phone on a shelf, got a new phone and forgot about it for a long time. Then one day I got curious. I plugged it in and sure enough the orange light turned on. After it fully charged, I booted it up and put whatever the news CM version was.. 6 maybe? Anyway all was good, for about an evening. I pulled the battery and put it back on the shelf. Now that ICS is out for it, I'd like for this phone to work again. I just plugged it in and let it sit. The LED never came on. I hit the power button and nothing happened. Then I unplugged it and then all the backlights on the buttons came on. If I press the power button all the backlights turn off as long as I am pressing. The second I take my finger off all the backlights come back on. The screen and LED haven't even come close to coming on.
Does anyone have any idea what's up?
PS. I just want to clarify, I never bricked it in a conventional sense. The ROM worked fine as long as it was powered up. I could reboot it and everything.
thats happening to my old g1 too...still dont know how to fix it or whats wrong with it =[
Probably a loose or broken cable
My old G1 also got messed up because of a broken screen cable.
This sounds like the cable connecting the smaller board with the buttons and usb to the motherboard
i guess i'll open it up and see if anythings wrong =p
Hello !
My problem is a bit long to explain, but I'll try to make it short ^^
So, at the beginning, I think the problem is about water resistance, because I put it in water with all the covers closed but when I took it back, the jack's "white thing" turned red and so did the others as well (even if I don't know how it happened).
From that moment, I began to try a lot of things, like charging it, connecting it to the computer, put it in rice during one night, etc... In order to dry it and to see how it's reacting, and here is the differents "states" I noticed:
-when it was charging with the wall charger, the red LED was blinking regularly
-when I connected it to my computer, the red LED turned on, my computer made the connected sound, the LED turned off 2 seconds after, and 10seconds after it went on again with the disconnected sound and the connected sound again and repeating (disconnected - LED on - connected - 2sec - LED off - 10sec)
-it wasn't doing that usually but it did it one time; red LED blinking without any connection to anything ( blinking 2 times every 2 seconds)
-and nothing was happening with the dock
At the moment I'm writing, it's acting a bit different:
-nothing's happening whithout connection
-when charging to the wall charger or the dock, it vibrates 1 time, red LED turning on, waiting 4 seconds, vibrating 3 times pretty fast, then the LED is turning off and it repeats a dozen of seconds right after that. (a bit like that - --- - --- - --- - --- - ---)
-when it's connected to the computer, it's now doing the connected and disconnected sound without stopping just like somebody is playing with the USB
I tried to press any button at any state, but I did'nt noticed anything changing.
I think that's all.
So if you have any idea about what's happening to my phone, please tell me
Thank you !
...
It's water damaged and needs sending for repair. Red LED indicates a hardware error.
There is nothing you can do yourself to repair it.

So, yesterday, I brought it to a repairer but instantly when he saw that the "little squares" were red, he told me that there's nothing to do, end of discussion.
I came back home a bit sad because I knew I had to buy a new phone but then, this morning, I was in a mood like "I don't give a f***" so I put it in charge and I tried hard with the Power Button, and the Vol+/- when suddendly, I saw the screen blinking during one short moment. Then, I tried again and I finally saw the "Charging screen" but the screen was going on and off. I waited a bit and it turned on by itself, and it went until the PIN-code phase but there again, the screen was turning on and off repeatedly, and, trying hard again with the buttons, I managed to go until the homescreen, but seeing the screen turning on and off again with sometimes the menu to power off the phone/restart/etc... I realised that the real problem was about the buttons ! So I turned it off ( trying to press the button rapidly before the screen do it again) and now I finally understood evrything ! When it was doing the strange patterns with the LED and the vibrations, it was because there is some problem in the contact with the buttons (it was turning on and resetting by itself because of this).
Now that we finally know what the problem is, have you got an idea about how to solve it ? Do you think there is still some water around the buttons and that I should try to dry it again (and how in that case ? Rice ? Hair-dryer ?) ? Or will the buttons stay like that even without water remaining ? In that case, do you have any solution ?
Thanks again !
You can buy all the replacement buttons on ebay if you are confident enough, it seems that you're warranty has been voided by the water so that's out of the question. I would suggest buying a new battery at the same time.
replace the battery ..

Hi..
I have a problem with my note 5..
Accidentally I've dropped it in the water!
At first it restarted itself and worked fine for a min, but then the screen turned off suddenly..
Couldn't remove the battery normally as you know it's hard to remove in Note 5..
Tried to dry it with the hear drier, the screen worked afterwards, but the power button feels like damaged already..
Didn't mind it at first because I have the download mode method to restart the phone.
After many hours I discovered that the screen isn't working fine! it looks like working for about 9 hours then go to black suddenly and stays at this for few hours, then it works again. (when it goes black feels like touch still working but no display)
Because I've already rooted it, I know I'm gonna pay for repairing it no matter.
I went to repair it but couldn't pay that much!
I decided to repair it myself, I've done before something alike.
After I've disassembled it and reached screen wires, I've just unplug it and cleaned it and re-plug it..
When I plug the charger finally I see the charging screen every time I plug and unplug it, that means it's finally works! (Before, even charging screen doesn't appear when the screen goes black!)
but the sad thing, I've discovered that it won't turn on neither goes to download mode!
I thought at the begging that volume up and down buttons damaged too (I didn't touch anything else except the screen), but I knew that they're fine because when I press them the charging screen lights up, just like when I press Home button but it won't goes to download mode!
but the power button still doesn't work..
now I'm stick at the charging screen, what should I do?!
I wrote all this in detail so I hope it helps.
Thanks..
Edit:
When charging, it charges no problem, but can't turn it ON and couldn't reach download mode..
Thanks, solved it already using ADB
But still the colors a little annoying and not clear..
but it's OK as long as the device works!
I thought it's dead..!
What did you do with ADB to fix the problem?
I'm having the same issue with my Note 5 showing the normal charging screen, but will not actually power on with any button combination.
Thanks.
Hi
So my phone has randomly started to die about once every other day. Screen goes black (i have always on screen) and no response from any of the buttons (power button, twice volume down button for camera). I have to hold the power button until it restarts/starts (don't know if it is dead or not). Anyone else has this issue? Only wierd apps that i havent hade before is blockada.

Troubleshoot it.
Delete the app and see if it still happens. If it does, flash a raw firmware and completely wipe your device. if it still continues, its a hardware issue and you should exchange the device.

You're in custom or stock rom?
Im on stock with no modifications.
Phone auto shuts down
Did you find any solution same thing started to happen with me twice in 2 days
The way I fixed it... go to settings, Security & Lock Screen, click on the gear icon next to screen lock, then choose the first option Automatically lock, choose "Immediately" any thing other than that causes the screen to go black. I hope it works!
@Ahmed_x this didnt work for me.
So today i was about to miss my international flight because of this stupid phone deciding to die on me while on charging so no alarm went off.
Wtf is wrong with Asus? How could this have gotten worst with the new update. Are their developers ret**ded?
This phone is being returned unfortunately. Awesome phone but if u cant trust it to give a simple thing as alarm whats the point.
It happened to me twice in three months. The smartphone got stuck/freeze in standby mode: no response from the physical buttons or touch. I use the official android 9 rom.
I managed to restart it with the power button and volume up pressed for 15 seconds.
I hope that with android 10 this will never happen again.
Happened to me today, had to hold volume-down + power for about 10-15s to get it back.
very strange using latest firmware too (WW_Phone-17.0230.2004.60)
[HELP] My ROG Phone always turn off suddenly when charge
Please HELP My ROG Phone 2.
It's been more than a month if the charge will turn off unexpectedly. This situation is experienced until today. So that every time I charge, phone must be in the dead state. I've been very frustrated. Already doing factory data reset, only lasts for one week and back like that again.
Worse, in certain circumstances the handphone suddenly dead and hard to be turned on again. When charging the battery, sometimes the phone likes to not fill. I had to unplug and re-plug the charging cable to return it to normal. Its sucks. I bought this phone in a new condition with the official warranty on January. I already did update to Android 10 when available by the system. This issue occurs after the update.
I had thought the charger that I got from the factory was problematic, until I decided to buy a new charger with the original quality with 30watt power. But it turns out the same.
Same here my phone will turn off while charging. And it will keep rebooting. Sometimes my rog will not charge
My ASUS ROG2 is starting ti piss me iff noe.. Everything I play BR in CODM alwaiz black out..every single game black out. This is not good...Is this normal? Every game has to black out?...
