Phone not turning on, not charging

Hi everyone.

I have the Galaxy S4 I9505, and recently when i woke up in the morning i saw that my phone had not charged, and that the battery was dead. The micro usb port had been acting weird for a while, and would only accept the charger that i had at home, but now it wouldn't even accept that one. So i replaced the charging module hardware part with a new one, but it still won't charge, turn on or react to anything, even though i have a charge on the battery (with external battery charger)

Regards

Stefan

Yeah, i'd try another wire as it sounds like you've had problems with it

hmm.. i'll try that, But the phone will not even turn on with a charged battery put in?

Have you examined the phone's battery? Is it swollen? Is it holding a charge?

With a dead battery, the phone should power up when connected to a wall charger. But may be the power bank is interfering with that process?

I have 2 batteries, 1 original and 1 spare.. non of them will turn on the phone, so i don't believe it to be a battery problem.. are there other options ?

Stefan, when you say you replaced the "charging module hardware part", do you mean the micro USB port on the phone? Or do you mean you tried a new charger? If you changed the USB port (usually done by replacing the whole board the port is mounted on) then I'm out of suggestions. If not, I would try that.
