Have you rooted it?
Have you made modifications?
Did you do anything you're not sure of to your phone?

How much time did you wait during charging? If less then 2-3vin so just wait a bit more and you''l be able to turn it on. If it will not then try to flash stock FW by flashtool

Never rooted or modified the phone. It only had the same use as a Nokia 3310 :laugh:

I'll try to flash stock FW

You may try stock and restore but before that try changing charger cord and charge it again

I tried to flash my phone but when it asks me to press the "back" button and connect to computer it doesn't pass from that point, keeps asking to do that when i am doing it.
Also, when i plug in the phone it says "USB Deviced not recognized"

You need to press and hold while inserting USB cable to your phone.dont let go the hold untill you see the green light

I had back pressed and holded for about five minutes and still nothing happened

So maybe your battery is empty..try recharging with wall charger,and not charging with your PC

What i did so far:
-Changed the wall charger (used a Samsung one)
-Tried to flash with stock FW, but it isn't even recognized
It still didn't give me anything except a red led.

Step 1: Download s1tools here and extract.

Step 2: Remove your phones battery and reinsert it.

Step 3

pen s1tool and click on identify now connect your phone and follow the instruction
(For NEO V press and hold back button and u will see the following message as shown in screenshot)

Step 4: When u got above message click on 'RESTORE' when the restore process completes remove the cable and reinsert your phone battery.

Step 5: Downlaod flashtool here and 4.0.2.A.0.62 Firmware here and extract it.
(Note:for flashtool tutorial click here)

Step 6: Flash the .tft file according to the tutorial and restart your phone, your phone will definitely start

(Note: After restoring, your phones bootloader will be locked, again u have to unlock to install custom kernels or roms.)[/QUOTE]

When i try to download the S1tool "The file link that you requested is not valid."

-EDIT-
I've downloaded it from other link, when i try to do the 3rd step it still gives me the message "device not recognized".

If you can't enter fastboot / start the phone when battery is removed, I think your phone is broken. I hope for you I'm wrong and someone comes with another idea...

In my opinion there are two possibilities. Your battery is broken - so you should first borrow it from another neo v user or the part of hardware responsible for charging battery inside the phone is broken so you should try to charge battery offline the phone and after that try to turn on the phone with battery.

I remember seeing a thread which explained how to repair such phones.
Just can't find it.
It surely involves test point.
Try searching for the thread
