Dead magician...? Red light!

Hi all,
Need som urgent help. The backcover of my device is not fitting well any longer. Guess I´ve bumped it to many times...
As a result (Iguess) I cant turn on or even charge my magician!
The only thing that is happening when I try to charge is that a red light is turned on. What does this mean?
Any solution of how to get it work again?
Is it possible to buy a new back-cover? Live in Sweden.
Thankful for some ideas!
Regards Emil

Most probably the notch on the battery cover that hits the microswitch lever has broken. You will find the microswitch on the lower-right corner of the device when facing down. Put something soft but strong enough (ie. foam) to keep the microswitch in the ON postion then mount the battery cover and temporarily fix it with tape. Be sure to keep your device plugged in via USB or charger in order not to totally discharge the backup battery. If the backup battery gets depleated, then it's like doing a hard reset.
You can buy parts from ebay but I've always bought from Brando and is very reliable dealer (shop.brando.com.hk). Delivery is quite fast too.

Hi Zerimar and thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately that didn´t do the trick. Still the same red light when trying to charge. And I can´t turn it on! I am pretty sure that the battery is flat out by now but even so I would think it would load and then after a while, I would be able to turn it on.
Am really frustrated abt this!
Any more ideas maybe?!?
Regards Emil

Well, that´s what I´m trying to get around... Thats why I´m hanging around here

If have have my device charged via USB or charger, the LED becomes as soon as I remove the battery cover. If I hit the microswitch lever then the LED turns green and start to boot up. If main battery is removed the LED stays red even though hitting the microswitch's lever.
It looks like it's not charging your main battery or your battery is already defective. If your device is over a year old and you're still using the same battery, then its time to change it. Bulges in a battery is a sign that it needs replacement.
Before sending your device for repair, why not look for someone you know who also has a Magician or equivalent device and quickly borrow his/her battery?

I had red LED when plugging into a main charger - and then the phone reset.

Red LED + loop booting-poweroff = dead battery
If the LED is RED when you charge your device for hours
If the device tries to boot sometimes, but powers off by itself some minutes after (it means, at least, that your device CAN boot! )
Your battery may be dead, I bought a new one for 10Euros on ebay...
Those batteries are perfectly compatible with HTC Prophet or HTC Beetles (Ipaq 6515) and maybe other devices... easy to find!

My TyTN just died - can anyone please help?

I got my TyTN a week ago (actually it is a Softbank X01HT)
The device just died today. I cannot turn it on (battery was fully charged), no lights are on, I tried removing the battery, SIM card, soft/hard reset nothing helps, it seems like it is dead and nothing is turning on even when connected to the power.
Can anyone please advise? is there anything I can do to revive it??
thanks

Does it show a constant RED LED light when you plug in the charger?
Mike

Can you describe the incident that lead to the "bricking" of your tytn?
The more we know the better we can make suggestion/give help.

No light is on when connected, it is just all blank. I didn't do anything actually. Finished a phone call, put the device back in my pocket when I took it out again it was dead and coldn't do anything. No ROM change or software installation or anything. I was wondering if there is any way to "revive" it.
Thank you for the help in advance !

Don't think I've heard of one being completely dead before. There are cases where the battery drains very rapidly to zero charge in a veryshort time and will then refuse to charge. BUT in those cases the device at least shows a RED no charge LED when you plug in the charger.
I don't think I can suggest anything other than warranty / repair. I assume you can rule out that the charger is faulty. This could be shown by plugging into PC using USB lead and confirming that again no RED LED shows.
One final thought but I think it is a long shot and that is to leave the battery out for 10 minutes and then retry.
It may be possible that an internal connector has come adrift but unless you wish to open it up then again we're back to warranty / repair.

Bad news for me. I was afraid I will have to do that...
Thanks for the reply though.
If anyone else has ny suggestion I'll be happy to hear it

Bricked wizard

Hello all!
So I have a qtek 9100 and tried to flash with "ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe", the installer started, the wizard was showing me the white screen and progress bar, sudently I get an eror message from pc, and guided to repair the erors. Meanwhile my phone gone off, and now it does not want to open, i tried hard reset, but seems nothing is bringing it back to life. I measured the battery and my voltmeter shows 3.8V, so i guess the battery is ok. I tried removing the battery and putting it back on but it doesn't turn on.If plug it in the wall charger, it doesn't lite up the charging led.
I'm kind of swetting...what can I do now?

try to take the battery off and wait in 10 minutes before you place it in.. try to on it after that.. that might help.. have heard it has helped many here in this forum.. either your bricked it or not.. 10 minutes will or might show..

Thanks for the quick answer, i'm waiting now to see if it works.
Any other tips are welcome.
no...no result...it still doesn't go on

Is there no way to Jtag one of these phones?

HTC 8525 red led not power up

hi all, pls anyone knows how can i solve the issue of red led and not power up? i tried to connect first the charger and later put the batt and nothing, the fuzes are good, the batt its ok, i tried the instructions of mike channon and other topics and nothing again... i apreciate the schematics of this model, thks for your time.

I had a red LED on my device ones, that happened when my battery got flat drain. Maybe you can try charging it for an hour or more. Then try it again..

thks for your reply, i tried to charge for > 1 hr. wkth two batt. and nothing, i thing the failure is a component defect. for this i need the service manual for MB repair or schematics for make a plain of conections for determinate the issue.

Just in case... certain non-original batteries seem to have one of their sides made from metal or other conductive material. When such a side touches the metallic frame of the battery holder, here you go - the red light goes on and the phone won't boot up/charge.
I had to put a properly sized piece of paper between the battery and the frame on my Hermes to make it work with such a battery.

Have you tried another battery?
Have a read on my sig link, you may find something to help you
Good luck,

Look at the screen carefully under a bright light when it's charging. Do you see anything like Serial/USB? The backlight won't work so it will be faint. If there's nothing, it's a hardware problem. Starting with a new battery would be the most logical first step.

please help
how about the charges indicator, is it blink or stay on orange while u charges your universal? if the charges indicator blink meaning your battery cant be use anymore..try a new battery. it was happened to my universal
