Hi
My J5 was working just fine yesterday. Today I tried to switch it on, I got no response. I tried to charge it, the battery charging icon does not come up, screen blank. Replaced the battery, still it refuses to turn on. The power on switch seems fine, checked it with a multimeter. Battery voltage 4.03 volts. Is this a known issue? What do I need to do to revive my phone? Any help appreciated. Thanks

How old is your phone? Did you ever drop it? It might be the LCD itself.

I doubt that. Phone has not been dropped. 3 years old now. The phone does not vibrate when I press the power button. Also I don't hear a sound from my PC when I connect it with a usb data cable.

Maybe something important died inside the phone.... I don't think you can do anything any more...
