S4 Mini on CM 13 ROM won't even show logo

[n2phoenix]

Hey everyone
My i9190 (Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini 3G) no longer starts up - and by that, I mean it doesn't even vibrate and show the Samsung logo when I hold down the power button. I'd flashed the CM 13 nightly only a day before this happened. I'd left it on at home when I went out, and when I came back I found it was off, and it doesn't respond to any key combination I try to make it work. My recovery is TWRP, I'd flashed a custom kernel a month back but replaced it with the CM kernel again when I found the custom one didn't offer anything new.

I'm thinking about sending it to Samsung for repairs, but I don't know if they'll fix it because it had been rooted ever since I found out about CM 12.1 in May 2015 from here. Can anyone offer some advice regarding how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I don't want to offend you but just to be sure... does the phone have the battery charged?

Lol I'm not offended
I'm pretty sure it was... but anyway turns out the internal motherboard's battery may have died or something, because when I left it on the charger overnight, it showed the charging battery frame while switched off! Earlier even plugging it in didn't seem to start it up, but now when I held the power button, it started working normally!
Thanks for your concern anyway!

I sometimes have the same problem, but it's just a matter of charging. If you don't see anything when it's charging, don't worry. The battery is just completely flat. Just to let you know.

Thanks for the heads up. I was quite worried for that reason.

He he, me too when I discovered it for the first time. You're welcome.
