Ramin_Ice2546 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 My Lumia 520 is dead. But I think it still has some sign of life in it. I used it for 4 years, the volume up button broke, the power button needs more force to press, some where of the screen is not responsive. One day I turn it off and it can't turn on, even if I charge it, nothing on the screen, I think it's dead but I don't believe it. So, can anyone tell me how to revive it or fix it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327850-my-phone-is-dead/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted April 11, 2017 MVC Share Posted April 11, 2017 As long as it's not hardware failure, try the Windows 10 Phone Recovery Tool. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12379/windows-10-mobile-device-recovery-tool-faq Ramin_Ice2546 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327850-my-phone-is-dead/#findComment-597857740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramin_Ice2546 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Eternal Tempest I don't have a pc and my lumia is completely dead (Still hoping for it to survive) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327850-my-phone-is-dead/#findComment-597857744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted April 11, 2017 MVC Share Posted April 11, 2017 Try a hard reset http://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-lumia-520/ 1. First of all, power off the phone by using the Power button. 2. In the next step press and hold the Power key for a short moment. 3. Release the Power button as soon as phone vibrates and start holding Volume Down key. 4. When the exclamtion mark appears on the screen release held key. 5. Afterwards use the following sequence of buttons: Volume Up - > Volume Down - > Power - > Volume Down.

Ramin_Ice2546 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 No vibration when I hold it and I used all the force I can because of the crappy power button and even though I charge it nothing happens >_ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327850-my-phone-is-dead/#findComment-597857754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted April 11, 2017 MVC Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) May have to see if you can find someone with a windows computer / laptop that can run the Recovery Tool (Edit) Maybe pull the battery, if it's note removable, let it drain to Zero, then recharge?

zhangm Supervisor Posted April 11, 2017 Supervisor Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sounds like multiple hardware issues.
