I had the device plugged into the charger all night and it still won't turn on. Is my phone no good already? If so, I want a refund because I expect my electronics to last more than a day.

Just for the record, I tried several things, such as putting the battery in and out, charging it (all night even) with different chargers (including the Nintendo Switch charger), I hit the Reset button on the back of the phone, etc.

What is going on here?

Corrupted SD card? does the factory test work? What are you charging it with?

The factory test I did when I first got the device passed every category.

I used the USB charger the device came with and plugged it to my computer's USB port, my car charger (when I was away), a USB charger that is built onto a surge suppressor I got and I even tried the Nintendo Switch charger.


As for the corrupted SD card, this may be the only possibility now because when I reinserted my SD card, it was empty. That's odd though because the microSD card worked fine before when it was in another device so I will have to reexamine it.
