[Q] Completely Unresponsive Phone

[bosscolo]

I was recently given an international GSM Galaxy Nexus. It doesn't respond to anything. He tells me that he had it plugged in overnight, and when he woke up, it was dead. I've seen other people who have had this problem solving it with plugging it into a computer, flashing omap, et al. but, none of these work on this phone. No computer even detects that it is plugged in. There is no LED when it's plugged into a wall outlet. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please?

I assume you can't start it in recovery mode?

remove and insert battery and press vol- vol+ and power at the same time.
If it boot into bootloader, use GNex toolkit to install fresh firmware. (you will lose all data and storage)
if not, you are screwed.

Yeah, absolutely nothing.

remove battery and give omapflash a go?

Using omapflash requires the battery to be remove, don't plug the battery in.

Correct. Some have reported they needed to have the device connected with the battery on, and removing it afterwards to make it show up in windows.

I've tried all different combinations of battery in, plug in, etc... The phone doesn't even turn on to be detected by Windows, omap flash is impossible.
