So I'm having a really strange problem, and it seems like the phone is completely dead. This may be unrelated, but about 5 or so days ago, my camera stopped working, and in the week before the failure, it would make a clicking noise whenever I used it. Last night however, I woke up to my phone rebooting itself over and over. I didn't know what the problem was, and didn't want to deal with it, so I pulled the battery out (not while it was booting). This morning, when I woke up I could not get the phone to turn back on. I tried two different batteries, tried each alone, and each plugged in to AC as well. No response from the power button at all, nothing on the screen, no green LED flash, nothing. Heres the odd part: If I take the battery out, and plug it in to my PC, the green LED turns on, yet, the power button still does nothing.

Good evening.
Well, i know there are like hundred other threads about dead HD2's, but this is strange:
I bought this used HD2 yesterday, 1 year old, never used with stock ROM. I have been using it all day today, after it was recharged all night. But the well known freezing issue started about late afternoon, and i took the battery out and replaced it, and it worked fine again. It did until i went to bed, where i just checked my facebook, and wanted to close down and sleep. Then it froze again, and now it won't start at all. I also charged the phone for about 40 minutes this evening. When i try to turn on the phone, it either vibrates shortly, or light up the hardware buttons, but no screen. I took the battery out and in again, nothing. Tried to charge it, no red lamp, nothing. No bending pins under the battery, i can't hard reset. When i tried to hard reset it, i could hear the sound, like when i turn the volume up and down, so it must be turned on, just not the screen. Tried to put small paper-bits under the battery, nothing. Now i will try to charge it all night, but it won't work, i think.
Also, i tried to lick the battery, and yes, it works.
Is the phone dead? Should i call the service-provider and get it repaired?
Thanks in advance and merry christmas!
so it seems (if i am right) the problem is possibly your screen. correct? (or more, right?)
can you boot into bootloader? doesn't seem like you can....
one option to see if your phone is working and your screen is bust is:

never used it myself, but you can see your phone on your computer. if all looks normal there, well then your screen is bust. if not, and you can't get into bootloader, then it seems the phone is all bust.
Well... Now it works again after having the battery out all night, inserting it, waiting just 15 minutes and then turning it on! Is there a way to avoid this? Some fix or something?
I suspect that the reason it was onsale
I thhink we have the same problem here,.... is your device getting a little warm on the back....

Hello!
Earlier tonight I received a text message and then my phone died - I knew the battery was nearly dead.
When I plugged it in, nothing happened - no orange LED like usual.
I let it sit for a while and still nothing.
Eventually I pulled the battery and put it back in and still won't power on.
Pulled the battery again (left it out), left the back cover off, and then plugged in the power.
After about 2 seconds the orange LED comes on for about 4 seconds and then turns off <---I've not seen any other posts mention this.
The phone will not boot still though - tried holding down power for 60 seconds, and even tried in conjunction with volume up and volume down.
The screen remains black, no vibration, no HTC logo .. nothing.
My wife has the same phone, so I put her battery in mine and it still will not boot.
My phone is NOT rooted or modified in any way (using stock VzW rom)
The screen is cracked but it's been that way for months and I've had an Otterbox on it ever since (go figure .. should have had one before it got broken). It's been working fine. It has not gotten wet today, or been sat on, or dropped or even looked at funny.
The phone is out of warranty and I do not have VzW accidental coverage.
Are there any more tricks to try, or should I go to the store tomorrow?
Thanks!
I am going to plug it into the computer and see if ADB will see it, but my assumption is no.
I'm thinking maybe the processor died... ???
I know if a PC processor dies then nothing happens when trying to boot .. no post beep or video.

Try charging the battery on your wifes phone then turning yours on and see if it works if the processors dead like you assume then well R.I.P Rezzy if you call verizon they will tell you to do a factory reset from the recovery maybe you could try that
Hey, i am new to xda, so i don't really know if this is the right category for this thread.
I am running Slimbean: Slim-i9300-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1322 (the newest stable version)
And i have dropped my phone several times, so my screen is broken and gone over the back button (it still works).
Anyways, i dropped today AGAIN out of my pocket, in a car, when i was about to shut the door, so the phone was smashed by the door. The screen didn't crack more then it already is, but it shut down, and now i cannot start it. I figured it was becouse it ran out of battery (i only had like 2-1% when this happened), so i plugged in my charger, and nothing happens.
Usually when i plug it in when the phone is dead, i get this grey battery icon on the screen wich freezes, but it works.
Now nothing happens, and when i try to start it, nothing happens except the little red motion sensor thing is blinking red once in like 5 secs.
Do i need to buy a new battery? Please help!
P.S. I know i'm not very good at english, but please help!

EDIT: When i plugged my charger in and let it charge for like 15 mins, the LED starts showing yellow (wich means it's 15%+ but not done charging).
And nothing happens when i tried to wake it up. But when i held the power button for like 3-4 secs, the yellow light disappears. It does not vibrate or anything that it use too.

Hi there
I have used this tablet without bigger problems for months. a few days ago I've turned it on and after a few minutes using it the device froze completely. then the screen turned black after a few seconds, power led off. I've tried to reset it by pressing power button long and nothing happens, display black, led off.
Everytime I plug it in, the power led turns on, but nothing else happens.
Today I've opened the device and found out the batteries are at 2.8V. I've then charged them with my Lipo charger (had to desolder it, charge and then resolder). Still nothing works. And if there's no battery connected the exact same happens like with the batteries in place: nothing exept green led turns on.
So, why did this happen and how can it be fixed?
Thanks
same thing happened
hi,
exactly the same thing happened to me. Did you manage to solve the problem?
I also tried to empty the batteries and then to re-start, no success. The LED will light for a couple of minutes then turns off, but nothing else happens afterwards, the screen remains black all the time.
Resetting the device also doesn't work, the screen won't turn on, not even in the recovery mode.
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

still dead
Nope, unfortunately I could never fix it so it's just laying around collecting dust as a expensive paperweight...
This isn't the first time this has happened. It seems to always happen when I plug the phone in to be charged. Most of the time I can get it back on with a hard reset using the lock key and volume down key. This has happened once before where I had to plug it into a computer, I did it this time and still, nothing.
Last night I plugged it in, it still had about 40% of a charge, I know It could have lasted the night without charging so I know that even if it didn't charge, there'd still be enough juice to turn it on now. Anyway, after a few minutes on the charge, I went to check it and screen wouldn't turn on, the red charging LED was on indicating it was plugged in... I unplugged it and started to do the force reset to get it back on. LED went off the moment I unplugged it and since then it's been like a dead fish.
I've plugged it into my computer, hard reset with every combo I can think of. Took the sim card and SD cards out, tried to reset again. My computer makes its typical noise when things are plugged into it, so it see's that it's there but nothing is happening.
It could be a hardware issue maybe? I hardly ever drop the phone but maybe a piece of hardware finally gave up inside?
Personally. I think technology should work flawlessly. I hate tech and I'm about ready to take a hammer to this thing. Any other possible ideas?
