why is my Android icon flashing?

[Android Central Question]

I turned my phone on but instead of going through the usual process it just flashes the same screen over and over again on and off.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Was it malfunctioning beforehand?

It sounds like firmware corruption or hardware failure. Try leaving it plugged into a power outlet undisturbed for about 6 hours, then press and try powering on again.
