Phone wont finish powering on - stays on 1st rumor screen

Bought my phone about 6 months ago, battery is fully charged. When I turn it on, it stays on the 1st black rumor LG life is good screen; the phone won't finish powering on. I can't do anything, make calls, texts, nothing - the phone won't let me get anywhere.

I have tried removing the battery and removing the memory card - both suggestions I got off this site - but neither worked for me.

    I have the same problem and just got off the phone with Sprint Tech Support. I was told that I some how entered in a PANIC code while the phone was powering up. When the phone finally came back on it said "Service Needed". All my contacts and phone numbers were gone. Tech support said that the panic code rendered my phone useless and that I should take it to a Sprint authorized dealer repair store and that they would trade out phones. On the bright side you will get a new unit but on the down side you will have to manually enter in ALL of your phones numbers again. Hope this helps,

My screen went black and the phone wont turn on, but the battery is fully charged...

HI, sorry to hear that...
Basically, if that happens the LCD of your phone is busted. make sure the battery is working also try to use that battery to another phone if does not working that's the time that you have to visit one of your service center in your area...
Thanks

LG Rumor will not go past the LG screen. Battery

My friend, you must address this problem to your carrier. In my experience, your phone is suffering from a unreconcilable internal error.

Phone turns on but wont go past the start up rumor by LG screen

You need to take your LG Rumor back to the store were you bought it. If you have insurance they will fix it or give you a new phone.
