Buzzing Phone Will NOT Turn On

Last night, in a next to no access zone (non-cell phone area), my Acer cell phone kept telling me I was out of range. An hour or so later, it started to buzz every few seconds. Thinking it might be out of energy, I plugged it in to re-energize. And it buzzed away all night. Now, today, whether it is plugged in or not, the buzzing continues (every other second) -- and the phone still doesn't work -- will not even turn on. What to do?

id start by disconnecting the battery. the vibrating will stop. if you put the battery back in, and it immediately starts vibrating, there is a good possibility the device has a shorted power button.

There are other possibilities, including a bad battery, shorted Charge port, Corrupted software, or damaged board. unable to verify this without the device in hand however.

I actually read somewhere else on the web that there are two others steps, in addition to removing the battery: 1) keep your finger pushing down on the off/on button for some time. I did this and waited a good 30 seconds; I then took the battery out and waited another 30 seconds -- not sure why; and then 2) I returned the battery and pushed the on button for another 30 seconds... Voila! My phone is back in working order. Thanks for contributing to the solution!
