Issue/scenario:


Samsung S4. Phone turns off at any battery level. Won't turn on again.

Status:

- Issue occurs about 1 - 4 times a day.

-phone works fine otherwise

- I dropped my phone once 2 weeks before it started



Short-term fix:

Remove battery. Place in again, connect to charger. Wait, see charging battery sign. Can be turned on again.

Tried:

- Use different battery

- Take out SD card

- Install Lollipop

- Complete Factory Reset ;-(



Also:

- before I was able to start the phone again without using a charger

- it sometimes rebooted randomly

- now it just dies and only jump starts turn it on

I just forgot one important detail. The screen glass was switched, as it broke. Maybe they glued stuff together and destroyed it?

I kinda need an answer: Is it worthless trying to find a fix? Should I sell it as broken?
