I have an HTC One M7 from a few years ago. It has long been deactivated as my phone, but I've continued to use it anyway for things like music. I've been using it with next to no problems.
Yesterday I believe it ran out of battery, which is not rare at all. But when I plugged it in, there weren't any lights and even after a few minutes it wouldn't turn on.
Today, after letting it fully charge, I'm trying to fix it and I'm having absolutely 0 luck. I've tried several supposed solutions. I've shined a light on the screen and I don't see anything. I've shined a light on the sensor and nothing happened. I've tried holding the power button and sometimes it'll vibrate, sometime the nav buttons will flash, sometimes a combination, and sometimes nothing at all. I've tried holding the volume buttons -- individually and with the power button -- and have gotten the same inconsistent results. I've plugged my phone into my computer on the off chance that it was on and I could at least access my data, and the red charging light would sometimes be on and sometimes be off. I've held the buttons and stopped when the lights flash, I've held them long after the flashing ended. I've held buttons for 2 seconds, 20 seconds, and even a full minute. I've tried holding buttons while shining a light.
What am I doing wrong? What are the exact steps that I need to follow?
I guess it could just be my phone's time, but since I'm still getting vibration and light feedback I want to see if there is anything I can do.
