Sounds like it could be a firmware issue. Try getting the firmware updated and see if that makes any difference. I've heard a few people have had this problem.

Seems to be getting common.
My K750 that I bought about a week ago did this too, just got a replacement about an hour ago, hopefully it wont get the same problem.
It is annoying though aye.
I WAS still able to use the phone though. Heres what I did. Connect to charger, the phone screen will start flashing white. LEAVE it on the charger. Eventually the flashing will stop, and the "Charging" screen will boot. Turn the phone on, and as soon as the icons appear at the bottom of the screen, pull the charger out.
Dunno why, but this seemed to be the only way to turn it on, try that, but get it replaced/repaired anyway
