Nokia Lumia 920 won't turn on

Last night I put my phone into airplane mode and then plugged it in to charge, something do each evening before heading to bed.

 

A few minutes after I did that I went to check the time on the phone and I noticed it wasn't turned on. I ended up leaving it to charge all night hoping the alarm clock would wake the phone in the morning.

 

The next day the phone still won’t start, It does nothing when I hold down the power button. I've also tried holding Volume Down + Power button, the phone is unresponsive.

 

In the past I would just unplug the battery and plug it back in to resolve this issue. However, since this is a 920 I am unable to do so.

 

Advice please?

 

Thanks!

Press Power + Volume(down) + Camera keys  until the phone vibrates Then release the power button but keep the volume and camera keys pressed down for another 5 seconds. 

 

See if this works ...

I'm getting this just about EVERY DAY. Even after being in 'Repair' for 3 weeks. This is a great phone but a DISASTER AREA in reliability.

Do not leave the battery to get so empty that the phone turns itself off, you will eventually destroy it completely. What you are describing is perfectly normal, since the battery needs to charge to certain level before it can provide sufficient power for the phone to turn on and work.

Empty means till it dies down.. keep on charge once it reaches 5-7% balance level ..If you don't then the phone will shut down and depending upon the length of time between the phone switching OFF and it being again connected to charger it will take that much longer time to reach sufficient power to turn on and work.

If you immediately connect the charger when the phone switches OFF due to drained battery it will not take 40 minutes but just about 4-5 minutes ..

Re: Nokia Lumia 920 won't turn on

my phone does the same thing: I set the alarm for morning, plug it in, and 10% of the time, it is totally unresponsive when I get up (without the alarm) Sure, a reset turns it on, but not being reliable sucks. They need to get this fixed!

Have you charged your phone again? You should leave it charging for a minimum of 1 hour or 2 hours on the wireless charger.

 

You can also try to hold the power and down volume key for 10 seconds. The phone should vibrate and start up. If this wouldn't help, try to remove the SIM card and then try the reset again.

 

You can try to perform again the other resets you've done before too. Give them a shot or two. Make sure that you are doing it right.

 

If above would fail, the best thing to do is to bring it to a Nokia Care Point for inspection: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/
