My cell phone was charging last night and i make sure it does every night before i go to sleep. well this morning i woke up and it was off. So i went to turn it on and the first thing that comes on as usual when i turn it on is the "LG'' screen. Well that screen doesn't last very long at all, it will come on and then immediately turn back off again and i took the battery out and let it sit for a few minutes and put the battery back in and it still does the same thing. i'm not sure what happened. please help me somebody! is something wrong with the battery or can i fix this somehow? :thinking: :(

Hey smartlove, I can help you with your phone. I need to download the firmware off of LG's server first though so I can help you flash it. To get the firmware, I need a serial number. DO NOT post it on here, PM it to me. Then you need to find a way into something called download mode. It varies from phone to phone.
Various ways I know of on other phones to get into download mode:
All are from powered off states and USB unplugged
-Hold Power+Volume Up & Down
-Plug in USB while holding Volume Down+Back key
-Plug in USB while holding Power+ Volume Down+Camera+Back key
-Plug in USB while holding Power+Volume Up and Down

If none of those methods work, you will have to find your own way into getting into download mode which looks like this (it may or may not look like it, but it will be somewhat like that):
