Weird kind of brick, please help!

I have an O2 Exec. I use a program called Lexisgoo (a dictionary) but the problem is/was that everythime I use it the phone used to hang after about 10-15 minutes. Last night after using Lexisgoo the phone hung and for some reason I did not have my stylus handy so to reset the phone I removed the battery and re-inserted it. Now it wont boot. No soft or hard reset brings it back to life. Tried to get it into bootlader mode and even that doesnt work. When I connect it to my Laptop the RED LED comes on and stays on. Battery was at about 91 % when this happened so it can't be the battery either. PC doesnt even show the error that the USB device is not recognised and Activesync does not recognise it either. Kept the battery out overnight as suggested here and then tried again this morning and still nothing. Any help will be appreciated, Thank you in advance.

Kept the battery overnight in the freezer as suggested in another post and still nothing. Someone please help!

Sounds like a faulty battery to be honest, no matter what you *thought* the status was. It can fail at any time, it's happened to me, and a new battery worked perfectly.

Faced the same problem. Agree with AlanJC. Just replace the Battery and it will work.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, WILL TRY THAT ASAP.
Will let you know the status.
Thanks a lot once again.

Hi, my phone last night (O2 XDA Mini S (Wizard)) started the exact same symptoms as you. At half 4 last night the screen came on and the phone claimed to be charging, while unplugged. I soft reset, but no change. by the morning the phone now claims to be fully charged. I've taken the battery out for a while, soft reset but nothing has worked so far, it now claims to be 100% charged constatnly, so i'm currently running the battery down to see what happens.
did you ever find a solution to this?

HELP! Almost dead wizard only red LED continuously lit

Red LED lits continuously. No other signs of life. Tested battery from my device with onother Wizard and all works good (battery is full). Tryed soft and hard reset, nothing.
Is there any other solution than buy a new device.
Thank you

Is it any new message and missing call on it?or check the battery charging function ,is it working ?
If all good,maybe upgrade is the way.

Blank screen...Battery is ok

Hi, I've the same problem on my Kaiser. Yesterday evening I put it charging and this morning phone is dead, only red LED while phone is on the charger.

Wizard not turning on. Doesn't boot.

Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?
~Infinity

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method

Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.

I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?

Anyone that's here help?

I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.

I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me

i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.

With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje

ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.

Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.

i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..

Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.

did you try another battery in your uni? also did you try tapeing the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level?

according to the universal service manaul flowchart, a redlight indicated bad battery>bad battery pins>shot motherboard.
so i don't think this is good. anyone got any..thoughts on figuring out WHAT exactly happened?

Hi
thanks for the input
will you please guide how I can tape the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level
many thanks

...almost the same.
my problem occurred after I did a soft reset. It took it a while to boot and every other time I used soft reset the boot took longer and longer until it did not want to turn on again.
Soft reset doesn't work but when it's left on the charger and pressed, the battery light blinks once. It won't charge and my PC registers a device malfunction when connected through USB.
The only sign of life pops up when I press hard reset but after I press 0 or X nothing happens.
Please help!

I have same problem as well, I even bought spare battery but uni remains dead and silent.
Beside the fact that when it's connected to PC, windows show unrecognized usb device.

what happened before it died? did you ... do anything to it? mines still dead as a doornail.

I am not alone :'(
It means many other fellows are suffering from same.
strange , total silence from experienced guys... atleast they can say it is useless for you to try.. and now dig a grave for it.

Experienced guys have their own lives too
Wait with patience till someone replies you and do not double post on same topic please
