Can you get into recovery? Your power button might be dead

Not that I know of. Your power button is dead I presume. If you see the battery charging animation it should mean your motherboard / main board is still alive..

if that is true

If this is true, do you have a suggestion for me?
I can not find anything on here with my similar situation. I dropped my nexus in the water. Put it on rice for like5 days. I charged it and got a charge signal, but when I powered it on, as soon as it got to the main screen it auto powers off. I replaced the battery with a new one AND did a factory reset. It still does the same thing.

which main screen? The Nexus main screen or the normal home screen?
It could either be
A - You might have low battery, leave it plugged in for a few hours and try turning it on
B - Your main/mother board is dead.

My power button has been acting funky lately, i thought it was just a software issue until i switched my battery today and realized it was hardware. now i cant turn on the phone.
Is there anyway to power on the phone via fastboot or some usb command? i need to get some files off the device before the device swap but i dont know how to turn it on without the power button =[
any ideas?

One of the bloggers on Droiddog.com had the EXACT same question. Yes it's possible... read her method here:
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/06/nexus-one-power-button-failure/
Basically:
Plug the phone in– USB or AC works fine.
Wait until the charging light comes on.
Remove the battery, while leaving the phone plugged in.
Replace the battery.
After about 3-4 times, the phone should boot.
i need to know if i can turn it on via usb command, ive already called in for the device swap.

it worked!!!!!!! fourth time it started right up. thank you so much you saved my life
if you take it out and wait till right after the charging light goes off then put it back in it seems to start up a couple seconds later!
Glad you got it up and running. Sorry I misunderstood the question.

Just got my nexus 4, and after it was left in cwm for about 10 minutes (while I was making breakfast) it went to a black screen and now just the red led notification led is flashing whenever plugged in, and on my mac in system profiler it shows "composite device", any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is your device hot to the touch?

Don't know if you want to do this, but you can open the phone and disconnect and reconnect the battery connector...
What was your battery level, I know in other devices some times the CPU(s) run at full speed in recovery allowing for quicker flashing this could discharge the battery rapidly. Also a flashing red LED when plugged in normally means the phone is charging but doesn't have enough charge to reliably turn on, leave it plugged in for about 15 minutes and try turning it on again.
Try holding down the VOL + and - keys along with the powerbutton (after turning it off by holding down the power button for an extended time) and see if you can get into fastboot. My friend's Nexus 4 kept bootlooping after he unlocked the bootloader but booted straight to CWM after, not letting it erase userdata first.

I have no problem doing this, the phone seems easy to disassemble, looks alot like a overgrown iPhone 4, 2 screws on the bottom. I just hope its an easy slide, I don;t want to mar it in case I have to exchange it.

I thought this as well, its been plugged in for at least an hour now.
Oh and now I don't even get the red led!
good times..
I've got the exact same issue. Plugged it in last night to charge and this morning it wouldn't turn on. Plugged and unplugged it and the red LED starts flashing. After a minute or so I'm getting the battery charge animation on the screen - so the red LED is power related. Now to see if it actually charges up and boots.
Hi nycbjr. I have seen a similar issue posted here, but I can't find the thread at the moment, try searching. If I remember correctly then he got it working by holding power, volume keys and then plugging in the charger.

Hallo,
I've got a N4 Stock and yesterday the screen just went black. The phone is not loading (no battery sign and no LED lighting).
I already tried to go to Recovery Mode via pressing Power+VolumeDown while plugging in. Unfortunately only thing I get is a solid red LED for ca. 10 seconds and then nothing.
I assumed that the battery died because of temperature shock since I had been jogging in the cold just before the phone died. But battery change unfortunately didn't help (still the same response. Am I supposed to perform some sort of reset after battery change?)
My question is following: any chances to rescue the phone or even more important to retrieve data from it?
Thanks in advance!
I would really appreciate any help

try holding power and volume up for 1 minute with the device unplugged (it simulates a battery pull) after 1 minute, release the power and vol up buttons and plug the device in. You should see a blinking red LED after doing this, and it should start charging. If it remains on a solid red LED after trying the above, im afraid it may be bricked.

Unfortunately it didn't help. Also I think the solution targets a battery problem. Maybe I haven't made it clear - the battery is already exchanged. Therefore I assume ScumDroid is right and the phone is bricked indeed.
Charge your phone using usb ...for some time ...let it charge and leave it
And try going to fawtboot mode
....if the prolem persists the battery oviously is. Dead. ..change it

Can you find a wireless charger and try with that to charge your phone?
It's a hard guess, but u dont lose anything to try.
Dad's S4 i9500 suddenly died.
Won't turn on at all. No recovery mode, nothing.
No damage, phone is immaculate.
Was not dropped, nothing.
Phone will not charge and screen that shows charge when charging shows nothing.
Any ideas, anyone?

Double check your power supply and your usb cable. Probably the battery is totally empty and will not been charged...
I keep a few spare batteries on me that are always fully charged. We have tried a couple of those in Dad's phone, then put them in my phone to check they had charge. They had 100% charge.
The phone was still 100% dead with the 100% charge batteries in them.
I have replaced the charging port ribbon last night in case this was causing a short.
The new ribbon made no difference; still 100% dead. Nothing at all. No sign of life at all.
I'm thinking the on/off button or the power IC.
Of course it may be something else.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
It can be the power button has gone faulty it happened to me before try smacking the power button couple of times to see if it makes any difference i pushed mine against a desk a couple of times and it worked after that i installed a shake lock app so i don't need to press the power button anymore unless i need to turn on/off the device.

I put a ohm meter across the on/ off switch this evening.
I get infinite resistance when it is not pressed, and finite/ no resistance when button is pushed.
So the switch is working perfectly and it's definitely not the on/off switch.
Any other ideas?
guess your motherboard is x_x then
Yes seems to be the board.
What's the best way to work out what's wrong with it/ get it fixed.
Anyone know the most likely cause/ who does, or how to do such trouble shooting analysis.
Hi
My J5 was working just fine yesterday. Today I tried to switch it on, I got no response. I tried to charge it, the battery charging icon does not come up, screen blank. Replaced the battery, still it refuses to turn on. The power on switch seems fine, checked it with a multimeter. Battery voltage 4.03 volts. Is this a known issue? What do I need to do to revive my phone? Any help appreciated. Thanks

How old is your phone? Did you ever drop it? It might be the LCD itself.

I doubt that. Phone has not been dropped. 3 years old now. The phone does not vibrate when I press the power button. Also I don't hear a sound from my PC when I connect it with a usb data cable.

Maybe something important died inside the phone.... I don't think you can do anything any more...
