Help....seems that my Magician is dead....making a long phone call (1 h) after call end, display switch off and Notification led become fix Blue (bluethoot was off) and then i try to hard reset. Led switch off and no results. I try then to put the power supply cable and the led become RED.... !!! (neve seen red.....) pda is not switching on anymore...any details on the reason of this RED light ???....please.....
thanks in advance
Red LED means the battery isn't connected or the device can't charge.
Try taking the battery out for a few hours and try to switch the device on again.
My brother in-law had the red LED issue too, we solved it by 'kick starting' the battery with two wires and a 9v battery. (At your own risk of course).
Good luck!

Red Led doesn't mean that the battery is not connect with the device. It simply means the cover is not properly intact. Try taking out the battery off the device, put it back in the slot. Place the cover carefully and completely. And then connect the device to AC power supply. It would definitely come *alive*
still dead....grrrr
so cover is ok...it seems to be properly fixed, even the smal swithch that create some unwanted crash few months ago is now working properly...
i made a 1 h long phone call with battery and charger (usb from pc) and after line felt down, bluetooth led blue on (was off) and screen with phone but no changement by touching it. so switch off by power off and ...dead...now without battery but with charger (or usb from PC) RED led on. With batttery AND charger RED on, and with battery all dead. i cannot reset anyhow with or without battery /charger....need it...sh*t.....(ops...sorry)
thanks a lot anyway....

what I will suggest is, you should get a new battery instead!!
Got the same problem now!
Both my wife and me got a Magician. Hers is dead now - same symptoms.
First guess was dead battery as well. But I exchanged it with mine fully loaded. No difference!
Usually when you plug the powercord into the device orange flashes up and device boots. Here nothing happens.
I'll have some electrician have a look at both. Maybe he can find the fault by comparison. But I don't expect a lucky outcome.
on back side of ur device when u remove the battery cover, u see a small black switch on the right side just next to the battery.
put the device on charge..with cover off---it will show red light contunuously on.
now manually press gently that black switch and see if ur device starts to charge.
if u see a yellow light any point of time doing this u may have to get this little switch repaired or do a temporary work urself by kepping it at place manually bu something.
try and tell
Now it works!
I think we all knew about that little switch. But thanks for your thoughts.
Anyway, hers is running again!
Two days ago I took it fully apart. No obvious fault noticeable. I left it the way it was now to prepare it for shipping. Today my wife asked me I should try it just once again. So I held the battery on the connector and plugged the USB cable and then: it booted!
But the internal battery doesn't seem to recover. It stays at 0% (1h "charging" since then).
I have to correct myself: Even the internal battery is charging (but it takes its time).
my magician is also dead and just the red LED is burning when i put it in the USB! Can anybody help me?
Still ned solution!
Can some one who was having the same problem help?
your device battery detector switch(little switch) is broken or logged-out of Main Board.
when it broken,the red LED is on at all.
it is the greatest weakness of magician...

I'm gettingn red led light too when charging from wall outlet. Charging from usb is fine. a weird thing is when my battery came down to 50%, imate jam will shut down and won't successfully reboot. some people from this form mentioned it's an indicator that the battery is dying.
Hi,
The battery drains quickly and sometime it result in blank white screen. I thought it was the battery problem so I change the battery but the problem persist when I flip the phone resulting white blank screen and still the battery drains a lot.
Any idea why these problem exist. Please help.
it seems flex cable is out
thanks a lot sir.
Will need a philips screwdriver then.
Did you fix it?
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.
i am haveing the same problem but i have a factory battery ,i try changing battery ,maybe this may help it accour when i connected to my laptop to charging it ,it was working find then five mins befor then red light , and not powering back on need help plz

i have just bought out my dead elf from the closet to revive it back to life after reading the jtag method its been more then an year it had been lying in my drawer...first a little history my elf went down when it fell off my hands and the lcd started to malfunction it was like half screen black and half white but i cud still use the set ....then i dont know how it happened, now it wont even turn on if i tilt my device towards light a bit i can see that the lcd turns on for a sec without backlight then off...and nothing else no led no vibration or sound..!!!
so today i tried to jtag it and the worst case happened the copper plating on the pins came out.. ...so is their any other pin out??? i can see the exact same pins at the back on the same location are these the same pins..???
bumppppppp................
Hello my daughter do have this mobile phone. She came with it to me and display was filled with random color stripes over whole display ( verticall ). I have tried to restart phone but it wont turn on no single mark of life ( no charging marks of charging not even single vibrate if i try to turn it on ). I have tried to do restart or go to the download mode but nothing has work. She told me that she has dropped her phone but only thing that was broken was cover glass and not single scratch on display etc. Any ideas what can be broken? Could some cable got disconnected by dropping it?
I think that the LCD has a mechanical damage. I saw a phone once. The display glass was fine but not the lcd. It had wierd random color lines.
In that case replacing the LCD display was the solution.
You should try to charge the battery. Maybe it is empty but you can't see the charging?
