So my 925 died yesterday despite the full battery and now it won't charge. It is totally dead, and if I plug it into a charger i get the carrier splash screen then the battery icon on the screen for a few seconds and then it disappears.
I have tried a soft reset multiple times , and I tried a hard reset once and got the ! screen but it didn't take the 4 button code and now despite my trying I can't get to the ! screen again.
I left it on charge in my hotel room last night for about 12 hours to no avail. Any solutions?

Apparently The Lumia 925 suffers from bad USB connection issues which can cause irrating charging behaviour. Such as false battery level indication as well as not taking a charge.
I believe the 925 have wireless charging capabillities, so if you have access to one you could try that?
Otherwise I agree, the phone needs to go away for repair asap.

If I plug in the cable while holding the VOLUME UP button then I get a cog & bolt symbol on the screen. What does this mean? Would taking the sim out help?
I'm going back home in the next few days so buying a temp phone is a bit of a waste for me.

Yes I have tried that before. The phone vibrates, shows the vodafone splash screen and then the battery icon with flashing power plug symbol.
