Previous answers regarding battery failure lead you to the mostly likely source of ypur problem. It most likely is as simple as a dirty contact, or a defunct charger or charging cable, or a shorted battery that can no longer be charged. On the other end of the spectrum: your phone itself may have died (a burned out circuit board, an internal short or open circuit, or another catastrophic failure) and cannot be fixed. Start checking, as previous posts indicate, at the simplest possible cause, and go down the list, in order:
1. Clean all contacts (use a clean pencil eraser, electrical Crocus paper, or a commercial contact cleaner).
2. Substitute a different/new charging cable (they very frequently fail).
3. Substitute a different/new charger (they, too, sometimes burn out).
4. Substitute a different/new battery.
Hopefully, you'll find the fix above to be simple and not very expensive.
But... If these attempts don't work, it is likely a failure of the phone itself, which would leave you with two expensive options: Have it repaired - which would probably cost more than the phone is worth - or replaced. Unless you have vital data on the phone that you have neglected to back up (!), replacement would be the no-brainer choice: your phone is probably due for an upgrade anyway. It's terrible to think of it this way, but cell phones, even smartphones, are designed to be disposables, to be replaced about every two years. A repair, if even possible, is likely to cost in the hundreds of dollars. And, you have to pay whether it can be fixed or not. Only you can decide if it would be worth it all!
BTW: If the phone has truly failed and you MUST retrieve vital data, there are data recovery services that can attempt to recover it from the dead phone's memory, if it is not corrupted or encrypted. The services are expensive (check online), but may be your last resort. This is why regular backing up of data is so important. All electronic gadgets eventually fail!

Hi,
You can get the unlock code by contacting your current service provider customer care department.If your phone is locked you can use any of your friends phone to make this call. The service provider will then provide you the unlocking codes.. Remember that the reason why the codes are provided only thro customer service provider is they will make a check on your name and identity proof at the time of your call. If the information is found to be correct and matching with their data then you will be provided with the codes. Everything is done for free of cost and you are not going to be charged for this process.This is the universal solution and is useful for many customers who are facing these kind of problems. Don't believe in any websites which provides unlock codes. All are fake. Only your service provider can provide these codes.
Thank you !!
