My samsung galaxy s2 won't turn on or charge it's been off for awhile?

[Alyssa Coleman]

Someone help! My husband and I have Samsung galaxy s2's from straighttalk they haven't been used for awhile so they are dead completely. My husband had them plugged in for over 2 hours today and still nothing. Battery is in and it's plugged into the wall. Advice

For the starters, clean the gold plated area of battery and phone. Retry.

Check this video! You have to remove a capacitor - just break it off with something. Just be careful to remove the right one - watch video closely. It worked for me and I was really desperate, because it was such a shame. I like this phone.

Best of luck!

Hello All,

I have S2 I9100G. I feel i am facing the same issue , phone not charging and coming up to life when trying to turn it on.

I tried to see for myself on the phone and could see Capacitor but there are 6 on my device. Could anyone of you suggest me which one should be removed to get this working. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Rohit
