No matter what I do, switch charger, cords or plug into computer my optimus g wont do anything. it would sometimes flash the nav lights and notif lights alternating and eventually i could get it to boot and charge but now its riduculious. it wont do anything. it is rooted but on the previous update. what is wrong with it?

It is hard to say with any certainty, but it sounds like a hardware issue... possibly the charging port, or a connection inside the device..

Turns out the way the touch screen sensors are built on the outside of the glass makes it (this is still speculation but i got a new phone to try again), "short out" using ghost armor that popular lifetime scratch proof poly-plastic screen protector. The reason i believe this is, because the guy at best buy needed to take it off to take it back and it finally turned back on! I'm going to let ghost armor know when i have them replace it on my new phone what happened but try one more time to be absolutely sure its them at fault. cause i really want that armor.

Same thing happened to me today, put a ghost armor screen on today, they turned it off to put a screen saver on and when I turned it back on, I get the lg logo, then a blank lit up screen. It will stay that way, turn it off it will come back on, then the lg screen then a blank lit up screen.
This sucks, dont know what to do.

i dropped lg a line about this issue. although i am rooted and i did have the phone in front of my heater vent in my car so i thought it might of been one of those things (it still was working after this) but now that i have somebody else confirming this issue too, this is serious. I wonder what other screen protector affect the phones like this too. I still have to take my phone to have body armor try one more time. I'm going to tell them not to apply it will all that soapy water they spray on all over it. Maybe it takes a couple of days to not be conductive anymore. i have to do a few more tests to be sure. LG said their engineers are looking into it. I told them I was going to follow up after one more try, If failure happens again I'm going to let ghost armor know.

I got my phone to start, I had to use the lgnpst program. After many tries and another computer I got it to start up.
Lets hope it wont do it again.

Did you take the cover off?

I did open the back and unplugged the battery, but that didnt work at all for me.

This happened to me once, on my stock optimus g. Wouldn't respond at all. I held the power button, and both the volume buttons simultaneously. For me, this got the phone to start working the way it normally does.
Hopefully that works.
Cheers
