Last night I got woken up at 4:04 (I lol'd when I saw it) by my phone that was vibrating and wouldn't stop. When I pressed the power button on top of the device, the screen showed my wallpaper for less than a second, and then turned off. I can't get it on again, when it's plugged into the charger, the LED stays off. It doesn't seem to respond to anything.
So is there anything I could try before sending it off to the insurance company?
[edit]
When I plug it in now, the orange LED comes on, meaning it's charging. When I press the power button the LED goes off as if it is preparing to boot, then the LED comes on again and charges again.
[edit 2]
Seems to be working again. Charged it for a few minutes and now it's back on again and has loaded Android. The constant vibrating was odd. I guess the charger wasn't properly connected or something and it was shutting down while also receiving a notification.
The thing I was most scared of was getting a new one from the insurance company and it being an SLCD version.

So my HTC One M9, Verizon, for the record. Stock ROM, stock everything-- no root, was working fine up until the other day. These two things might be unrelated, but I had a weird vignette on my screen, along with white lines only on the edge of my screen. I turned it off and when I woke up it was gone. However, I started having issues with charging. It wouldn't charge, recognize on my computer, when on. I let the battery die to do a calibration, and strangely enough, ONLY WHEN the phone hit 0%, would it start to charge again, this is when the phone was off. I charged it to 100% and turned it on. If I tried go past the lockscreen and do anything funky, it would stop working (disconnect and reconnect a couple times before stock working completely). If I stayed at the lockscreen and kept it off it would remain charging at 100%. Disconnect it and take some pictures, it won't work.
I've gone to 0% two times, and that seems to be the only way to get it to charge, offline or off.
What's going on here?
Alright, so I shut it off at 95%, and it's currently off. I plugged the charging cable in, and went I went to check it later the LED indicator was flashing orange. Now, if I plug it back in it will flash "charging for a second" then go back to the orange blinking.
EDIT: I did it again and now it showed the charging symbol and is charging like normally, and indicating 92%. The charging LED is now a solid orange.
EDIT EDIT: "The led flashes orange as a warning that the device is overheating." Is that why it works when off and completely cool and when I try to do anything that "heats it up" it stops working? I've also read; "Battery level is very low." Weird.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Leave the screen off/sleep mode it starts to charge.
Hi every one,
last night, when my phone was fully charged and the green notification was on, I unplugged it, but suddenly I saw that my phone didn't run. Therefore, I pressed and hold the power button, but unfortunately, my phone didn't turn on. I plugged it again to the charger and saw that an orange light was blinking, and the phone was showing an empty charge icon. I pressed the power button again while it was on charge, and it tried to turn on but after few seconds it turned off. I was really nervous and distressful as it was for the first time to me.
I let it to be charged for minutes, and, then, I tried to turn it on again. This time nothing happened. I also tried the volume +/- and power button to reboot it but they didn't work.
Now, when I unplugged and plugged it again, I can't see even that orange light.
Please, help me.
I hope I'm posting this in the right place but I'm desperate for help.
My phone, HTC 10, froze and then the screen turned off while I was taking a picture.
The charge should have been around 80%.
Symptoms:
The screen is unresponsive.
Couldn't get the home button/finger print sensor to turn the screen on.
Couldn't get the power button to turn the screen on.
A call to my phone could not reach my number as well.
When plugged in to a wall charger or laptop no indicator light turns on.
When connected to a laptop, the laptop makes that connection noise and a long name with QualComm in it shows up.
Tried Power Button + Volume Up for 10 seconds but didn't get any result.
Side note:
The power button was a little faulty before as well.
You have to squeeze it a certain way to make it work.
I need to somehow restart my phone. Any ideas?

Try to clean all buttons really well, if it keeps failing to boot and the phone is still recognized as Qualcomm it's probably bricked.
Simple explanation of the word bricked :
When the phone doesn't boot, when you can't access the bootloader, download mode or recovery it's bricked!

Strange turn of events: I plugged the phone to my laptop because I read somewhere that it drains the battery. Just for the kicks, after a few hours, I unplugged and re-plugged my phone. Suddenly, there was light. The battery light came back. I immediately switched to the wall charger and once I did that the battery icon appeared showing 1%. Now, it's peacefully charging away. Will see if it actually turns on later on once it's charged about half an hour.
I was on a phone call with a friend when I noticed that the screen wouldn't turn on anymore. After the call was done, I popped out the battery to shut it down.
When I take out the battery and plug the phone via usb charger, the screen turns on and is blacked out. When the battery is in, and I 'turn on' the phone, there is a very slight vibration, and after some time the phone blinks that red LED light like when I have a gmail waiting--it is as though the phone really is on and active, but the screen isn't getting signal.
I'm guessing that there's a loose connection somewhere.
Any suggestions?
I disassembled and reassembled. Didn't work initially.
Left my phone alone for 5 minutes after it booted with no screen signal, and then I press the power button, and it turned on.
So weird. Seems like I'd better back up my stuff while I can.
So I had kept my oneplus3 on charge at around 10:00 Pm yesterday and fell asleep. Woke up around 12:00pm to see it was fully charged so I unplugged the charger kept the phone beside me and went to sleep. Today when I woke up I saw that the phone has a black screen and is completely dead. The LED light is not on. Plugged into the charger no response. Tried holding power button ..nothing. No vibrations or home button lights
Currently, there is nothing going on with the phone. No flashes on screen no LED. Absolutely nothing. Tried connecting to laptop (windows 10) dont see anything. It was working perfectly fine last night and i had used it for nothing but music then.
Question is.. is the phone hard bricked or completley bricked? what might be the reason? I searched youtube only to find 1 person with similar problem who had said that he kept the phone for 48 hours and when it was completely discharged he pluged in charger again and it started working.
I am confused. Have a lot of work documents inside and what if it stays the same after 48 hours?
Appreciate any help on the matter
update: Tried plugging in the charger a few min ago. The led turns red and Vibrates. Nothing else
Update 2: so after 24 hours of setting the phone aside. i plugged the charger and it went into charging. But now am facing a new problem. My bootloader is unlocked and the power button is busted hence whenever I press volume down and plug-in the charger it takes me to bootloader warning screen from where either it goes into charge or i press volume key and it goes into option which I again cant select cause power button is busted. Tried holding down the power button and connect to laptop(windows 10) no device detected and it works like normal charging. Tried to charge for a few minutes unpluged charger and start again .. it was stuck on oneplus screen. Any ideas??
