Today my power button was acting weird. It worked fine during a long press to do a "restart" but wouldn't turn on or off the phone, so I had to use my Knock code all day. I lost power this evening and now it wont turn on at all.
Phone is charging fine but nothing I can do will turn it on. Removed and replaced the battery, charged the phone. Long hold with vol down button pressed to try to do factory reset and nothing. screen looks normal when the battery is charging, but it wont turn on. Nothing happens when I plug it into a computer either.
I really don't want to return this to Verizon without doing factory reset first. Please help me.

So i got this new atrix it was working fine no problems but now it wont turn on
First of all it`s completely vanilla no rooting no firmware flashed no nothing.
I reboted it several time yesterday and it worked allright and after my battery was 15% i decided to shut the phone down and put it to charge on my pc.
Now in the morning a the same green led is flashing but when i press the power button (fingerprint scanner) it wont do nothing the screen stays black
I dont know what to do i remove and added the battery several time and still nothing PLEASE HELP ME
Try plugging it on the charger until the battery says 100%.then try booting it up.
if it didn't boot.if it's on warranty send it for repair.
thankyou prince it worked i had a defy in the past that phone didn`t had such requirements but anyway this one is moore cooler
have you tied performing a hard reset?
I'm very much new to this, so please take it easy on the terminology, and insults.. :/ Just to be clear ive never rooted this phone or flashed it or anything like that.
I was using my phone and the battery ran really low and it died. I went to turn it on, and it wouldn't turn on, so i charged the battery for a good hour. I press the power button and it vibrates, but the screen stays black.
after that i tried doing a hard reset, so with the phone in that black screen, i took the battery out so it would turn off. Put it back in, followed the instructions for hard reset from the VZW website (without turning the phone on, because i'm still unable to do so), and nothing happened at all. I gave it a couple tries and still nothing.
Then i took the battery out, put it back in, pressed the power button. I felt it vibrate again like last time. So in this post-vibrate state, without removing the battery, while the screen is still black with no power on, i did the hard reset. It vibrated and then now the 4 touch buttons at the screen illuminated, and the backlight turned on, but the screen itself was still black.
can anyone help me out??

When the phone is completely off. Battery pull. When holding down (Vol Down + Power). Does the HBOOT (white screen) appear or is it still black?

Do you get anything when you plug it into a computer? Any new devices that the computer sees? If not. Need to bring it to the Verizon store bud :/

awwww, well thanks for trying anyways.. :/
I would say go to tje Verizon store and have them charge your battery. If it takes a charge and powers on then it prolly your port.

Hi,
Last week, I spilled a bit of beer on my Huawei Ascend G700. The phone started to turn the volume down at random moments when there were no buttons touched. I figured it was best to turn it off, pull out the battery, and let the phone dry.
It's been a few days now, but when I try to start the phone now, the only thing that happens is that only "=> FASTBOOT mode..." is showed in the bottom left corner. Nothing else, and it stays there until I pull the battery out.
I have tried disassembling the phone and clean it as far as I could, but it made no difference.
If I push the volume up button together with the power button it starts the recovery mode, but I can't do anything from there. And I can't connect to phone to my computer. (It isn't recognized).
I have found similar problems online, but with the difference that I have not rooted this phone. Is there a way to get the phone back working? I would like to keep the original firmware, if possible. For I can't think of a reason why it would be helpful to still try to root the phone.
So, the only thing that happened before my phone freaked out is that I have spilled a bit of beer on it (only a few drops, phone was in a case). Never rooted the phone. Phone was only a month old. I think it is running on android 4.2, but I'm not sure.
I think the volume down button is still making contact somehow as the beer has not dried off. Or maybe the button is being pressed somehow. I say this because when You power on an Android phone with power down key, it usually boots into fast boot. Try cleaning again.

I tried. I disconnected the connection cable from the volume button, but it doesn't make any difference.
Okay so I have my Samsung Galaxy S3 for about 2 years now and it's having a lot of problems for the past few months. At first it had the sudden death syndrome (when it suddenly shuts down and having that boot cycle on the Samsung logo) and now it's fine. But 4 days ago I was sleeping and forgot to charge my phone. When I woke up and plugged in the charger it was charging just fine. When the battery indicator shows 100% I tried to turn it on and nothing happen. Just nothing. I plugged in the charger back and still nothing. The screen was completely black. No vibrations. I tried to go into the recovery mode and I can't. I've googled some ways including taking the battery out, pressing the power button for a minute and put the battery back in. Still nothing. I've tried like ALL WAYS to turn it back on. I took my battery and put it in my sister's phone and it worked just fine. So I know it's the hardware problem and I know it's not the power button too because I tried to turn it on by using the charger (plug in the charger and pressing the volume down and home button) and still nothing. I don't know what to do because I have so many things in my phone and I don't want to do any factory reset (if possible) by sending it for repair. But if I still have some options please tell me otherwise I have to get a new phone although I really need my old phone back. Thanks.

Does download mode work? If yes have you tried to flash a stock firmware?
Usb jig or repair centre, given the other problems you're best off getting a new phone.
I believe my phone is broken and I need to return for warranty repair. But wanted to describe it here and see if there are any suggestions and advice.
I was charging on an airplane and I tried "chopping" moto-action to turn on the flashlight and it didn't work. I thought that was strange so I disconnected my phone from the power and reset it.
It did not go past the boot screen. I tried holding down power + volume down and it enters the other screen, and I tried scrolling down to enter recovery mode, but when I hit the power button on that selection it goes to the boot screen and stays there again.
If I try to plug it in, it no longer even responds to pressing and holding the power button + volume down anymore, I have to unplug it for it to respond.
I have tried charging it from the wall, and I only use the motorola provided cord and block.
The phone, even after being plugged in and charging (the motorola symbol on the back lights up when plugged in to indicate it's charging), does not actually charge.
When I enter to the other screen it now shows 0% battery warning.
What can I do? I live in the US but this phone was purchased in the UK, so US motorola support will not help me. I'm worried I will have to mail my phone to the UK for repairs, and their live-chat is not active during the same waking hours as the US so I am using my backup phone, but this really sucks...

I guess the only thing you can try is to flash stock firmware on your device search the firmware on google according to your baseband and use adb method to flash it...
