LG Fiesta 2 LTE won't power off, in boot loop

My Tracfone LG Fiesta 2 won't power off normally, all I can do is let the battery run down. Battery is not removable, so removing battery fix is not applicable with this phone. I can get it to restart, but it gets stuck in a continuous boot loop. Holding power button and volume down simultaneously, then letting go of power only puts it back in a boot loop: 1st screen is LG logo, 2nd screen Tracfone logo (color slightly fades in and out which it never did before), 3rd screen says "Android is starting" with Android icon and progress gauge that starts out at 80% and takes about 5 minutes to get to 100%. Then it goes back to 1st screen and the same thing loops. While this keeps repeating, the phone feels warm, which it never did before.
I can't get to "Home", or "Settings", Recovery Mode or anywhere, so therefore can't do a factory reset or erase cache, or do anything. I have tried many suggested fixes online. I tried plugging USB cable into laptop hoping to at least be able to transfer pictures, music, etc, but phone is not recognized. Any help would really be appreciated.

Not rooted, not messed with ( I can barely reset my car clock after daylight saving time). The day before this started I noticed the battery wasn't holding it's charge as well as it normally did. Next day, it wouldn't power off, and the continuous loop started.
 
yeah not sure what you can do at this point. if you can power it off completely you might have a chance of going into recovery mode. but if you can't get there, i'm not sure what else you can do. do you have insurance?
 
It won't power off completely. Passed warranty, no insurance. Not an expensive phone... it just was a great phone, too bad.
Thank you for your reply
