Phone dead - hard reset does not work

I turned off my phone because the battery was nearly dead (~2% left). I plugged it in and left it there for two hours. Now it does not turn on. No flashing lights. Windows does not recognize it. Hard reset (Power+Vol. down) does not work, and Windows does not recognize it either, even when I go into fastboot mode. I do have an insurance for the phone, but I would like to save my personal data, so does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

(Sorry for the bad english)

Connect your phone to a wall charger, press and hold power and volume up for 10 seconds, let it charge for two to three hours, then repair it with PCC

As I said, it charged for quite some time. Resetting was the first thing I did too. Since I reset it, I have waited about 1h. If a post on the first site would have helped I would not have posted this Slightly_smiling_Face

It should be on charger for about 3h now

I'm sorry to say this but you have to send it in, and your data is gone.

No, it did not work... Will have to contact the insurance, I'll get a new one. Still **bleep** that my data is gone...
