Figured I'd post this on here because I haven't seen anyone else having issues like this.
The whole story: First of all, my phone was in great physical condition(ie no major drops or other damage). Last night, I left my g3 unplugged with about 20% battery left. Woke up during the night (~3 hours later) to see that it was off, with no sign of turning back on again. Thinking the battery had simply ran out of juice, I plugged it in. I watched the screen expecting to see some indication that the phone was charging, but there was nothing even after 10 or so minutes. I went back to sleep leaving it plugged in. Woke up in the morning, still no response from any buttons. I removed the battery, and replaced it a few minutes later. Still nothing.
This is when I resorted to calling tech support. LG tech support led me through troubleshooting, which still lead to nothing. Their warranty offer was pretty weak really, having me pay to ship them the phone, then waiting 5-7 business days for them to inspect/repair my phone before returning it to me. I thanked the guy for his help and called AT&T. They led me through their troubleshooting, and came to the same conclusion. The phone was dead and needed to be replaced.
It an issue with the battery itself either. When I was at the local AT&T store today getting a new sim for my old iphone, the rep helping me had a G3 himself. He offered to switch batteries between my phone and his. His phone booted up, mine still didnt.
I'm assuming I got some sort of a lemon. I didn't change anything about the software, something must've just died. Oh well. Just waiting on the new one to get here now.
