Power on

[darleiwms91]

I used my Bionic last night without any problems, plugged it in to charge overnight and now it will not power up.  I have tried powering up on the charger, off the charger, on the mobile charger, have taken out the battery and put it back in but it will not power up!!  VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!  How do I turn the blasted thing on?

Are you charging with a pc usb or wall charger because the pc sometimes doesnt charge well?  If you are using usb try a wall charger dor a few minutes and see if it helps..

Have tried the wall charger and mobile charger in my car.  Tried switching outlets too.  The battery is warm to the touch but no life.

I get you have tried a battery pull but bare with me and try pulling the battery and press power button for 10 seconds to discharge and stored power and then insert battery again and try powering up, this works for some devices..

Nothing.....

Strange, sounds like it may be time to visit the store, maybe the battery is shot.

I had planned to at lunch today, wanted to see if maybe anyone else had any suggestions before I did that.  Thanks for your help!!

Could be a bad battery or charging port on the phone.  Is there a Verizon store near you?

That was my next action at lunch today.  I am starting to get on a first name basis with them.  Thanks!
