I've now encountered this for the second time (on the same handset). I 
can also observe that only an original LG/Nexus 4 charger could charge 
the handset to the point where it would boot. In my case, just inserting 
the charger got the little red light, whereas a non-original charger had 
no effect.

For this second time around (I left the handset unattended over the 
weekend, and I *thought* I had turned it off using the fastboot menu), I 
now cannot get the unit to charge at all.

I've tried two different original chargers (One new from Google Play, 
and one from a colleague who had it supplied with a handset), and many 
variations of 'plug in, hold down power button (10 sec, 60 sec, longer), 
and power plus volume up and/or down), and even just leaving it. With 
and without a SIM installed.

It would seem my phone will not take charge at all. Has anyone else seen 
this?
