It was a normal day, I just left my house with my Black Shark 3 fully charged, I used it for some messages and simple things when at 2 hours it turns off by itself and cannot be turned on, instead it vibrates every 15 seconds, does not react to the charger or show any information on the screen, just dead except for vibrating and vibrating. The recovery mode does not work, the key combination turn off + volume up or down is useless. Help!!! I never touched or modified it, it was completely updated to the default official versions, I learned to accept my Chinese version with Google complications and language support, I accepted it as it was KLE-A0 with JoyUi 12.5 and Android 11

I do not know much about how to do this, thanks bro for the support, I only know that it does not respond when connecting it to the PC, it is totally dead ... I wanted to rule out some hardware problem but I also can't find how to uncover it

then you need to pull out the battery connector, both of them, then do the test point method (you need to take out the back cover of your phone). i was facing the same problem like yours, that's how i bring the phone back to life.

I don't see any screws on the back of the black shark, neither on the sides ... Maybe the screen will have to be taken off but it makes me insecure

the back cover is attached by using double sided tape, you just need to heating up the back cover with heat gun or hairdryer to soften the glue. just search on youtube, how to take off the back cover. you can PM me if you need help.

the phone is totally dead, no response to any button or any computer, even not responding to the charger. it is just plain dead. i was also experiencing the same exact problem. the last thing he can do is only do the test point method which require him to open up the back cover.
Do not pay anything to anyone trying to offer you help for $. Either your device is physically damaged (in which case it needs to go in for repair) or it can be fixed with some study and help.
Hello friends, after all, when I press and hold the volume down key, it seems to achieve a connection in PCSUITE, however, it asks me to connect in a normal way before
What do you think that in the end what muy BS3 have is that the board burned, I always thought that that heat could be taken well by the device after all it is Gaming with liquid cooling, right?

Hi mates. I have a weird problem. Just last night I am restoring a Nandroid Backup of VANIR ROM for geehrc, which DONT have a problem with my phone. When suddenly after booting and showing the lockscreen, the phone becomes unresponsive and after a few seconds, turns off. After that, It wont boot, even fastboot or recovery wont show up. Even tried the hard reset combo, but to no avail. Download mode works, but I have not tried to flash KDZ yet. Also when I plug in the charger, LG logo shows up then a blank grayish screen, then a battery icon with charging animation, plus a label that says 0% charging. I leave it for about 4 hours, thinking that the phone might just depleted the battery. But still it wont turn on. When I turn it on while plugged in, the LED blinks in red color. The blinking is continuous. What seems to be the problem? Is it hardware or software issue? Please help me guys! :crying:
Any help mates?
Im really loosing my hope reviving my device. Tried different methods from the web. I just flashed KDZ, but the phone keeps flashing the LG logo when plugged in. When I unplug the charger, and power on the phone, nothing happens! Damn. Can anyone give an insight on what might cause the problem? Thanks in advance!
Sorry to hear about your troubles! Honestly, I have no idea what could have caused this, but if I had the same issue, and nothing worked as you described, I would probably crack the phone open, disconnect the battery and just let it sit for a day or so. Then reconnect it, and try powering up again (might need to charge it first). Who knows whether it helps or not, but it definitely wouldn't hurt, and you don't seem to have a lot of options right now...
It's interesting that the download mode still works. The common wisdom says that you should be good after flashing stock KDZ, but your experience shows otherwise...
i've experienced it before. It happen due to your battery is out of charge. What i do is, i open the case, pullout battery and install back.
After that i charge the phone. And voila...charge is on..and my hp on too. :good:

Thanks for your feedback! It's really weird. I have flashed 3 KDZ's already. From Original F180K to E975. Nothing. Other option I have aside cracking it open is returning it to the seller fro check up. But that's the last resort. I suspect something got "unglued" while I am using it. Since the device got really hot before it happened.

Will definitely try this. Thanks for the advice. How long should I remove the battery?
I just removed for a second and put it back. Most probably due to battery not fit. So i just retighten it.

Should you go ahead with it, and in case you've never opened an OG before, just a little advice... It's not difficult, but you need to watch for a couple of things:
1. Make sure you remove the SIM tray BEFORE removing the back cover.
2. Start opening it from the bottom (after removing two screws), and work your way along the sides to the top. When putting it back together, go in reverse (top to bottom).
3. Be careful around the SIM slot and the buttons when prying the cover open -- it's easy to break a thin "bridge" on the side of the cover. Just don't push on those areas.
4. When putting the cover back on, it might be a bit tricky to hold power and volume buttons in position. The easy trick is to use a piece of scotch tape on the outside, so they don't fall in.
Good luck!

I wouldn't suggest actually removing the battery, unless you absolutely have to. It's mounted by a double-sided adhesive tape, so taking it out is a bit tricky. My idea was just to disconnect it. You need to undo two screws that secure the power connector, right below the camera flash. The screws are under the plastic tape, just peel it off. When you remove those screws, carefully pull the connector up. That's it. Check the contacts for any signs of damage or corrosion, and clean up as needed. When reconnecting it, push firmly to make sure it sits properly.

ok. worked for me fine! Thanks!
now 80% battery instead of 0% very cool
and now i know how it looks into the phone very good working LG...
No more charge stuck on 0% sulation
when I plug in the charger, LG logo shows up then a blank grayish screen, then a battery icon with charging animation, plus a label that says 0% charging. I leave it for about 4 hours, thinking that the phone might just depleted the battery. But still it wont turn on.
SOLUTIONS:
1st take battery out of cell.
Leave in direct sun light for 1 hrs.
Clean battery pin with soft brush.
Charge battry manualy by Desktop charger about 2 to 3 hrs.
Put battery back in phone and start charging.
It will done Insha ALLAH.
Hello,
I had been having great time with my Zenfone 2 ZE550ML but then suddenly a severe problem started. It started shutting down and switching on itself. Once the problem starts, it goes on for long. When the phone switches off itself while I am using it or its sitting idle in my pocket, and I hold power button to switch it back one, it shuts down again at asus logo. Only way I can make it work is my connecting the charger, and that too only for reaching the home screen where I also get prompted for the menu which you get when you are holding power button (the Power Off, Airplane Mode, etc). I removed the back plate to check the power button and its still tacky and intact, no signs of it being pressed. I don't know what is causing this problem. The power button menu (The power off, airplane mode menu which you get on holding the power button) keeps appearing at random times. Sometimes, it won't relax and go completely mad.
I have tried :
1) Wiping cache partition
2) Doing a factory reset.
3) Using phone in safe mode (problem still exists).
Will try downgrading to 2.18 firmware tomorrow and will let you know. So, for now, let me know if any of you have any solution for this problem. That would be appreciated. Need more info? Ask me
Recently : The phone had been fine for a few days and the shut down problem has started again.
My firmware version : 2.19.40.23 (it's the latest)
Thanks
I had random shutdowns and reboots as well (with the 551), albeit not as advanced as the issues you have, but they all went away after flashing SuperZen (I realize this isn't really an option for your phone).
But then again, because of how advanced it is (turning on by itself), it sounds like a hardware issue (like the power button - in spite of it looking okay).
This sounds like it may be a hardware related issue. If the problem still exists after downgrading, it may require sending in for warranty service. If you are within the USA or Canada and would like RMA assistance please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected]

I am getting occasional shutdowns when playing from Spotify over bluetooth when connected to my car (AUDI) and bluetooth receiver at the same time.
Flashing CM12.1 also didn't help...

What kind of shut downs did you have on your phone before flashing SuperZen? Was it on firmware version 2.19? Also, I think I forgot to mention, my phone sometimes switches down itself while at the ASUS logo (in search of incredible subline). I really don't know what to do until I downgrade the system version. Will let you know.

I have a better idea. If possible, can any of you send me a picture of power button with the case removed. As well as the power button on internal side of case. I hope I made my words clear. I want the pictures so that I can see if my piece is defectrd. Can't send mine as I don't have a secondary phone/camera with me atm.
Thanks

Don't know what you mean regarding kind of shutdowns - sometimes I would come back to my phone, and (early on) it would be completely off - I turn it on, and there's plenty of battery life left. Later on, I would pull the phone out of my pocket, and the external storage mounted message would be waiting for me (theat, and once I actually felt the phone vibrate in my pocket only to mind that message later on).
Lack of logs (e.g last_kmsg) left me high and dry as to what the issue was. By the way, I was on 2.19.40.20 at the time (with BL unlocked earlier that week).

Hello, thanks for reply and images. My buttons look exactly the same apart from the first image. The cloth like thing on my power button is not flat like yours. I fixed it and the problem still prevails.
Anyway, I am now in process of downgrading the firmware. Will update ASAP.
Okay, so the problem still exists after downgrading

Very possible that even though the power button looks okay, it could still be malfunctioning. And since there is no easy way to check the leads to it on the mainboard, seems as though you are down to two choices (and you cannot do both since the latter will void any warranty left):
Get it serviced (as in, send it away for such)
Do the tear-down yourself (and all the risks that come with it)
I will go to a service center next week.

Okay guys, its been a while now. My phone got fixed itself after the previous post by ASUS_USA. It got fixed itself so I decided not to take it to service center for now. But now, it again started the problem. Much worse this time. Phone got shut down with it reached 90% (happened twice). 90% exactly while charging. Today it got shut down again at 90% while charging, I tried to boot it up but it won't boot up at all . I shows asus logo at random times and goes off by itself. Taking it to service center now
I think I should've listened to my friend about not getting an ASUS phone in the first place

Guys at service center said that my phone's motherboard is defective so I sent it away for 5-6 days. But my question is, how is this even possible? The phone had been working fine for the first month. Are there any chances that motherboard will get defective once again after repair?

Hi, Ashish here.
I'm experiencing similar issues with my ZenFone 2 Laser. Can you tell why it's happening? Did u got your phone serviced?
Hello.
My phone is also having this problem. I was on Lineage, did factory reset, got back to stock but none of these worked.
Now my phone only works when pluged to the charger. If I disconect to the charger it only lasts about 5 minutes.
I will try to take my phone to Asus service this week, but please inform about yours as well.

Looks like that it is a hardware issue particularlly battery. The battery can't handle the load of the phone that is why it shutting down it only stop shutting down when charging. Need to replace the battery
I'm completely bamboozled, and no technical expert when it comes to in-depth diagnosis - so bear with me here.
On Saturday evening, I dropped my Premium onto my sofa, not realising the TV remote was there - and it sounded like the 2 connected with some force. Since then it wont turn on, it wont charge, and it isn't recognised by my PC when I connect it. I took it to a local repair shop, who held onto it during today, who returned it hours later confirming that their tech had checked all the internal connections/screen etc, and they couldn't determine what was wrong with it.
I should note at this point that I'm aware that third-party repairs void warranties - however O2 informed me that as it was accidental damage and not a manufaturing fault, my warranty was void anyway. I also didn't take out insurance, as at the time finances were tight, and I'd had insurance on my 2 previous handsets (Z, and Z Ultra) and not claimed. Typical.
So i'm at a complete loss - I don't know what to do, and what makes this worse is that I haven't even had it 6 months, so I'm paying for a device I can't use. And I'm locked into a 24 month contract - double ouch.
XDA - if anyone can help me in any way whatsoever, I'd be so grateful.

Damn straight, got nothing here
Tried holding power and volume down for awhile to see if you can soft reset it? Also, I believe there is a hard reset button in the sim card bay as a last resort. Shouldn't be rendered useless after a light drop.
Try open up the flap where the sim card is in. There's a button in there. Try holding it down for 10 to 30 seconds.

Thanks all - tried all those suggestions before I had it looked at unfortunately. I've even tried the 2-minute hold-down of the button under the flap, to no avail

Hi,
for the z5p, try holding down power and vol+ in that order, the phone shoud vibrate 3 times, after that [if that worked] then let go of both buttons,
wait for the LED indicator to light up yellow/orange and press vol+ and that will get you to recovery
alternately try getting into fastboot, by doing the above but with the device plugged in to usb port on pc and keep the vol+ button pressed.
when the LED is blue, you're in fastboot
and from there ou can try running fastboot reboot
good luck

No joy I'm afraid
I've tried:
Power+VolUp
USB
USB+VolUp
USB+VolDown
Hidden reset button (both short and 2 mins)
Left plugged into a (Sony, not third-party) charger for 3/4 hours
It's completely unresponsive. No notification LED, no "connected" sound from my PC when I plug it in - nothing. The repair shop were convinced it wasn't a screen issue, and that the guy checked every connection and they were all fine. The only physical damage is beside the power button - i've attached a photo to this post.
I wouldn't have thought there'd be any point even sending it to Sony, as its not a manufacturing issue; they'd just send it right back. I've had terrible luck recently, and this is really the icing on the cake - so I'm grateful for any tips, etc
hmm, okay, i want to suggest that the drop knocked your battery loose but that's probably not it,
if you "jammed up" the power button, then you probably need to open the phone up and take a look. , most buttons are a combination of the bendy plastic stuff with an itty-bitty button beneath them, BUT this could also be, maybe, related to the fact of the fingerprint sensor in the power button ?
again, with button being jammed up, maybe something is touching/not touching where it should/shouldn't be ?
these are all the things i could think of. Hope it helps. I just got one of these, they definitely need a hard case.
You should see the bend test on youtube , xD
Good Luck :good:

Hmm, I can't try taking it apart as I don't have the tools (definately an option to try, though) - however, surely if it was just an issue of the power button not "touching" where it should, it would charge/be detected by a PC when connected? At least the notification light would illuminate..
That bend test is crazy, made me cringe
try hold volume down and then plug it into a computer. It should turn it into download mode which should have the LED be blue iirc. That's to see if it is actually unresponsive and dead. If that works you can try and flashing the stock firmware and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't then if there isn't any real damage it may be covered by warranty since they wouldn't know how it happened

If that works you can try and flashing the stock firmware and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't then if there isn't any real damage it may be covered by warranty since they wouldn't know how it happened

It's completely unresponsive dude, no signs of life no matter what
Warranty is a no-go too, if you see the pic attached to my reponse above the damage is pretty visible.. I'm so gutted, this is the best handset I've had and I've ****ed it up...
I'll sell you mine for $550 USD shipped lol jk shipping would be hella expensive.

The funny thing is it'd most-likely work out cheaper than buying a new one here in the UK
Wouldn't surprise me. I paid $700USD but that included added warranty from the importer.

Hi
I have a problem with my G3. When i start it, it shows lg logo then few it reboots again without getting anywhere. But if i put the charger it does work flawlessly. If i take off the charger, few seconds and it reboots. Is it a battery issue? Software or hardware?
Thanks
Yes, its battery problem. I think its time for you to change the battery.
Regards
Faisal

Yes, it is a battery a problem, so i bought a 2nd and a 3rd but the same problem happened with the 2nd in less than a month, the 3rd in 2 weeks.
I wasn't ready to buy a 4th one so i looked around and i found a solution and it's working for me so far without a problem.
the solution isn't mine so all credits goes to Marko Peltonen in Android Central forums.
He explained the problem here
And the solution with pictures here
Some remarks to take in consideration:
the wire should be thin (from a strand);
when you're manipulating the wire be careful not to let it touch the body of the battery (if you peeled the plastic off the battery) when it's connected to the + connector.
the soldering point on top of the control board should be as thin as possible so you can put back the plastic cover
hope you can solve this frustrating problem

I have the same issue. But mine does only restart if it goes to sleep mode. Mostly 1-2 minutes after screen lock. Could it be the same issue.

It could be a software problem. don't go hardware at 1st. What's your configuration (ROM, kernel, Recovery)?

Everything stock. Flashed MM stock firmware a few days ago.
While it was flashing the lg flash tool crashed on my pc at %70 or so. Phone did a reboot automatically and booted up.
Then the phone started to shut down and restart automatically while it was in sleep mode.
Then i flashed stock mm again. This time it worked. But the phone keeps restarting. It does only restart while the screen is locked. If i double tap or use the power button to unlock the phone nothing happens and the screen keeps black and then the LG logo appears and phone boots up.
Tried different custom kernels, recoverys and rom. Issue is still there. Thats why im thinking its and hardware issue and battery is faulty.
Sorry for bad english
@sakarya making this step properly won't harm you G3 in any way, it'll enhance the power connection because the connection is made by glue and with high temperature it becomes faulty, so yes you can give it a try but before going that far if your not familiar with soldering i recommend you to download and flash a stock firmware from here then go to this page and download the proper firmware you need. since you have this problem when the screen is off, in my case it was random.
You'll find here a guide on how to flash a KBZ properly.
Good luck

Thank you. I will try this.. Bought yesterday a new battery, problem does still exist. Must be a software issue.
Paper trick wont work for everyone. Solder or use a bit of foil and paper for pressure.. I prefer to use a bit of tape as it is a cleaner solution. Batter life seems to fall a bit, just a tad after this mod tho but no reboots fixed 3 out of 3 batteries like this.
The chinese batteries run down quicky.
The anker batteries that also have the reboot issue can be fixed by using the board from the chinese on it fix 1 out of 1 anker this way
Hey, months ago my battery was swollen up I decided to change it so I ordered a new battery.. A few days back I got my new battery *original* after replacing the battery I found that my fingerprint sensor button isn't working when I touch.. The only thing I can do with it is just press it.. Pressing the home button works but nothing happens when I touch it..
Please give the solutions guys I changed the roms twice even flashed the stock rom.. But nothing happened..
Please share the answers
Reopen your phone and check near the home button, you may have dislodged/damaged the connector that goes to the sensor. If it's just out of place, take it out and put it back in, making sure it snaps in properly. If it's torn somewhere you will need to order a new one.

It won't be a wire, it would be a ribbon connector, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Boton-de-I...hash=item33ea2b57dd:m:mcafy4h6tL2vnIt0TJT6vaw
If you're sure it's not broken, just pull it out and snap it back into place. Wiggle it a little to make sure it's not loose. Then put your phone back together and check.
