However, sometime the battery need to charge about 10 until 20 minutes first at OFF positions while your phone battery fully empty, after that you can try to turn it on again. If you already charge it about 10 hours but the phone still can not turn on, then maybe your phone is stuck and need to be force soft reset by open the back case and remove the battery about 10 seconds. After that please put again the battery at right positions and turn it on. If you still can not turn it on, please try to force hard reset or reformat using hardware button at #Option 2 above.
