My Nexus 4 stopped charging :(

[abhidev]

Till yesterday it was charging and working perfectly...but today morning when I kept it for charge...it didn't charge at all. And now trying different solutions from the internet it has drained completely.

I had ordered it from the US and its over an year old now...so out of warranty...also will the Indian LG service center get it repaired for me...also I have my personal data on it...any help ???

All is but lost
you can try to move the plug inside the device or perform a power drain - it might start to work.

perform a power drain ?

bought a special screw driver set to help me open up the Nexus 4.....tried for several minutes to get the back off but its really difficult to get it off....damaged the frame a bit on the corners ..gave up for now...requires a lot of patience...will do it on the weekends :/

perform a power drain ?

remove battery, hold power button, start phone with charger.

Switch off your phone then switch on and try to charge.

^ tried it but no luck

try a diif USB wire? to see if the defect lies with phone or wire.

 

[Superayush]

try different cable different socket for charging

 

[abhidev]

tried it already....something wrong with the battery or the mini usb port

take it to service center, they will repair it but will charge you some money..
My friend's US bought Optimus G was repaired this way

Successfully opened the phone after almost one frustrating hour scared at the same time that I don't break the back glass....

But....the socket connected to the battery is also fitted with screws and I don't have that effing attachment...fml X(

jusr take to the service center

 

[abhidev]

Yes I don't have any other option

I don't understand why you would even try to open it yourself. Its not a computer that we can fix our self. But anyway, good luck. I hope it does not cost you a bomb to get it fixed

 

[abhidev]

Because many have faced this problem and the solution that worked for most of them was to detach the battery and attach it again...but unfortunately I don't have that screw attachment

Try another charger

Try charging in safe mode

Its better to take it to Service Center than to Brick the device any further
