Hello I have a nexus S i used for a few days... than i ditched it for another phone and i left it in a drawer... this about a month ago... now it won't turn.
I tried to charge the phone but it's just flat line... no light, no signal of power... nothing.

The phone worked just fine up until i put it in the drawer... so i don't understand....

Any idea?

sounds like the battery lost completely all of its charge. usually when that happens, the battery is done for. try another nexus s battery.

At the end I had to play McGiver but it worked just great...

I jump started the battery as shown in this video

If you are performing it on a new phone's battery this process is not for the faint of heart... but I had ordered already a new battery so I just took the gamble...

Anyhow for whoever may have the same problem this WORKS.
