My phone failed today. It was working perfectly when I put it on charge with 15% battery left.

An hour or so later when I took it off the screen the phone is dead. All buttons unresponsive, tried different chargers, then took it to a shopping centre repair place who tested the battery and said it had charge in it. The LG charger still works perfectly with my S3 so it can't be the charger.

So I'm gutted as I've just returned from 2 weeks holiday and all my photos are on it. I tried plugging it in to a USB port on my PC but no joy.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Hi guys,

Today my phone died too, it froze on snapchat then i exited the app, and the phone became unresponsive and the screen dimmed. I then pulled the battery out, and put it back in, but since then it hasnt turned back on. Ive tried charging it for a few hours and doing battery resets etc, it also doesnt connect to my PC. I think its dead.

Also its rooted, but as its completely dead will they know?

Worst thing is i bought it from Amazon.de and im in the UK so i have to ship it back there, unless anyone knows if LG will be able to repair it here in the UK?

Sounds like a dud battery or connector, take it apart and check the connection between the battery and board.

Try powering it on by holding both power and volume down buttons. My phone sometimes doesn't start with holding only the power button, so I do this
