Phone Charging problems

[anon(10115737)]

Yesterday, I was using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) and my battery died. I left it to charge and an hour later I checked it, it wasn't charging. The charging sign was flashing once per mintue. Two hours later, the sign wasn't even flashing, so I left it to charge all night. This morning, It wouldn't power on. I've tried using a different outlet, different wire, pulling the battery, nothing worked. What should I do?

Welcome to Android Central! Does anything happen if you press and hold Power for about 10-15 seconds? If not, then see if it works with a new or different battery. If that works fine, then your battery likely died. This could be due to wear and tear, a defect, or overly frequent deep discharges (i.e., allowing it to drain to zero). As a general rule of thumb, try not to let your battery drop much below 30-40%, if you want it to last a long time.

Sounds like the battery has retired. Troubleshoot as per above post to make sure...
