Hey there.

I have a problem with my HTC One M8. First of all, I have slightly damaged the screen in the upper right corner and it has a black spot, like 3-4 weeks ago. Because of the fact I am on my vacations and I am 24/7 on move, I don't have time to fix it and it's not that much of a problem as the phone was 100% functional with that issue - the screen reacts to touch in that black spot. But let's get straight to the real issue. Yesterday, before going bed, my phone had 20% battery. I am used to fall asleep watching some vids/other stuff @ Youtube and so it was @ yesterday's night. When I woke up, my battery was dead so naturally I plugged the adapter to charge it. What struck me was the fact that the screen didn't react to charging. I tried switching to other adapters but no result. I tried to turn on the phone anyway - if the screen is messed up, the phone should turn on anyway and greet me with some sound - it did not. I borrowed my friends laptop and connected the phone to it in order to find out what's going on. The moment I plugged it in and it installed some usb drivers, the laptop didnt display 2 disks (the phone itself + the sd card) but plenty of disks (D-Z) which the laptop wanted to format immediately (havent done that - last resort move). I have installed the HTC Sync Manager but it doesnt find the phone. It may be due to the screen damage, however, I strongly doubt that and I think it's some software issue. Has anybody had such a problem? What should I do? What kinds of software shall I download to try to tackle this issue?



Thanks in advance for any answer.

Let the phone charge for several hours, then hold Power+Vol up for a minute or more , and see if there is any change.
