So, 2 days ago, I went to work and my phone was fine. I went on break, and it was dead. Won't power on, won't charge, nothing. After a bit if fighting I've given up on it. It's served me well, but my poor Nexus 5 has seen it's last days it appears. It didn't quite make it 2 years, but I still don't regret it.

Have you tried pressing and holding Power and Volume Up+Down for a minute or so? I know from personal experience that that can revive an unresponsive 5.

My USB socket failed and it would only charge wirelessly. Do you get the charging light or completely dead?

I thinks it's the 6P, which is calling it in stereo.
I got the 6. It was cheep on Amazon.

Try banging the 5 on a hard surface on the power button side. The power button gets stuck and this can shake it lose.
