Nexus 4 dead battery

 

Last night I accidentally let my Nexus 4 battery die. I've had it plugged
in with its original charger all day and also tried a few others but cannot
get it to come back on. Mostly the red light is blinking but sometimes it
is completely blank or the charging battery icon shows on the screen.
Occasionally the screen shows the Google logo followed by the Ubuntu circle
but then the screen goes blank again.

I've read here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes that in rare
circumstances on a Nexus 4 it is necessary to unplug and replug battery
connector to get it to boot after a drained battery.

Does anyone have experience with this? Should I open the phone and unplug
the battery? What else can I try?

I should mention, although likely completely unrelated, that yesterday
before the phone died the clock oddly jumped an hour ahead for a couple of
hours before going back to the correct time.

Thanks for your insights
