my Lg ob wont boot anymore.. When i turn on the phone, the screen freezes on the LG logo and all 4 lights (options,home,return and search) are flickering. This happend a few days ago when i forgot to charge it. When i trie to charge it now (in wall or pc) the effect is always the same LG logo with flickering lights. Butt i dont get the usual battery on screen which turns red, orange, green.
I searched the internet and alreadry tried:
Hard reset: Volume key, home button and power button.
Battery and sd card out 10 second, placed it back and let the phone charge for 30 minutes, even tried a couple of hours and one night butt didnt worked at all.
This video LG OB P970 error - YouTube is a great example of the problem, only mine freezes at the logo LG. I contacted the person of the video, butt he still has the same problems.
I have the same problem. Without any motive, was with black screen, than I take over the battery and never more boot, only blink the keys.
Than I sent the phone to LG to fix and they just installed factory software and past two days, returned to the same.
This time I see that problem hapens when I press the key to suspend the screen, anf after that, the phone freezes and I take over the battery and don't solve the problem and I must wait about 5 hours to work again. But than repeats the same problem.
I send yesterday the phone again to LG, but I do not have great hope that they solve the problem because mainly time to time looks that work fine...
I never let the battery emply.
Let me know news about your phone.
Sorry for my bad english.
Regards,
Miguel

hi, did you solve this problem already?, i have the same problem with my p970. yesterday it was working fine until the battery drain. i havent charged it until this morning. the when i charged it, im stuck at LG logo and the button are blinking, same in the video you posted... is this a phone bug or is my battery damaged?.
Had the same problem, sent it to service they swapped out the whole main circuit board or what evs now works fine.. so far. Before that, the phone did kinda the same but also gave the "startup" sound but went no further, did the "restoration" procedure through the LG Mobil Support program but no luck. Sent it to service, got it back with new screen?!. So long story short i've had the phone 4 months, been to service twice and have new mainboard and new screen, so i now have basically a new phone alltogether minus the covers ..starting to lose faith in LG, used to be quite pleased with the quality and reliability of their products. Not so much anymore. Also their quarantee depicts that you need to "service" it atleast three times before you can demand a refund or a new product. But hey i allready kinda have a new phone! ha ha ha
im having the same problem with my phone as secretliam. is there any way of fixing it without having to send it away to LG for 3 weeks and possibly get it returned in the same condition?
I have the same problem, LG Optimus P509 boot freezes on LG logo and 4 buttons at the bottom blink endlessly, and all keys are unresponsive. Has nothing to do with the battery, I replaced the battery with the battery from my wife's identical perfectly working LG-P509 phone, and identical problem persists. Must remove battery to shut off phone, all keys are unresponsive. Problem persists during ANY of the following procedures: From OFF state, 1. plugging into charger, or 2. Turning on with out micro memory card, or 3. Turning on without SIM, or 4. Initiating a factory reset turn on from the keypad. No matter what is tried in any combination, the problem persists. Does ANYONE know the solution to this?
i have the same problem too, though i already made it back online, but some sort of 'freezing' or 'lag' is always happening,i checked lg website for the available update i found 1, but unfortunately in turns out to be a total disaster for me for 6 long hours, doing some online reading searching solutions i got one, thi s smartflashing tool etc etc..because i don't want to bring this right away to lg s.center ..
you can now send your phone to service center the problem is already solve. mine is fixed without anything erased in my memory -sorry my english is bad ^_^
I am facing the same problem. At night i saw that charge in my LG Optimus black was 1 %. I did not charge it then. in the morning when i put the optimus black on charging then the phone would not start and only show the 4 blinking buttons and the LG logo and booting LG graphic and the same graphics keeps repeating on loop.
I tried removing the battery , tried discharging the battery again and then charging it up fully before trying to switch it on. this also did not work.
Even after full day charging when reconnected to the charger the battery charging symbol on the screen.
Please let me know if any one has a solution of coming out of this loop?
I do not want to go to the LG service centre here in mumbai as the only thing they will do is flash the device.
let me know if any one could find a solution to this.
This happens because the battery needs to be recharged. Either charger is bad or contacts are bad/dirty. Usually charging from computer resets this. Battery can also be bad but usually that's not the issue.
