Help lg optimus wont respon or turn on

If the four buttons are dim, and flickering, you will need to allow the phone to charge, this is a sign that you exasted the battery to the fullest. Youll see not asingle thing but te four buttons.

1 take back cover off, Pull battery, and pull Sd micro card out, count 10 secs

2. replace all back in, and AC wall charge, allow a good 7%, 30 minutes.

3 turn on phone , long press top right Button 3 sec hold or so.

Mine just wouldn't turn on! Battery out and SD card out for 10 seconds worked great!! Thanks!

The back didn't want to come off, but I read that it was designed that way and to just put your nail in the little slot and pull and it would pop off!

Thanks again!

Iphone 4 stolen so borrowed an almost new LG Otimus 3 from a friend.
Was working fine this morning, then I took the battery out to find the number and it wouldn't power up again. left it for a while and then tried plugging it into the mains. Powered up for a split second then switched off again.
Wouldn't power up at again so left it for about 30 mins. Tried again and the same thing happened. powered up for a split second then switched itself off. It does this both with and without the SIM card inserted.

So ive helped my dad with his android before but ive never seen this before. I turn my phone on and it goes past the yellow screen with the jingle but then it goes to the screen with the gray Android screen that has the light move across and the light stalls every now and then and it does that over and over and then the android flashes or drops out of the screen and it starts over on the gray screen

Thank you so much! I couldnt figure out why my optimus V wouldnt even turn on when I hooked it up to the charger. It didn't even occur to me that I had pushed my battery to its furthest. This was very helpful. Thank you again. Don't know about anyone else but I can't live without my fone, I was a little freaked out for a sec.

If the four buttons are dim, and flickering, you will need to allow the phone to charge, this is a sign that you exasted the battery to the fullest. Youll see not asingle thing but te four buttons.

1 take back cover off, Pull battery, and pull Sd micro card out, count 10 secs

2. replace all back in, and AC wall charge, allow a good 7%, 30 minutes.

3 turn on phone , long press top right Button 3 sec hold or so.

The Phone will not run at all with no battery, and that I have had the same problem, it is not a issue.

If you still cannot get On then you'll have an Option to go into Sprint, have them place another battery in, if turns on

Battery is defective.

If not a thing. possable part gave out.

they'll replace your phone for freee if under 14 days-30 days brand new.

We'll give you FREE advice for lifetime here. hope we helped out.

I tried everything you said to do. And nothing worked. I went to bed last night, with my phone working perfectly, then I woke up and it wasnt charging. So I hooked it back onto the charger and the 4 buttons on the bottom are blinking and the LG logo pops up, as the buttons blink. If you could help in any more ways, Id gladly appreciate it. Thank you, so much. I just dont want to get grounded for the rest of eternity. Please and thank you.

I am afraid to mess up my phone. I have the LG Optimus G and it doesnt have a way to open the back of the phone that I can tell. I see small screws under the phone that are maybe holding it all together. But how do I get into the phone to be able to take the battery off in the first place? Sorry I have never had this problem before. I am having the same problem everyone else is in this forum. the LG light keeps coming on and off every 4 seconds but wont turn on. :mad:
