Hello, i get Qtek from friend which is not working, i want to repair it.
It doesnt turn on, when i push power button, on the all screen appears like white strings and thats all. I have tried soft and hard reset , but nothing to do. The only good thing i see- that when i plug in the charger, red LED turns on.
So where do i could find the problem?
Is that normal- when i put battery into its placce, there immediately red LED turns on? (dont push any of buttons)
the red light means that the battery is dead or no charging...leave it a few hours to charge like so without tryn to turn phone on....also make sure that the red connector which secures the battery in place is functional because there is a switch on the mainboard trigerred by that connector and when it's not locked the phone won't start..

Dear user, does there appears any sign (led changes color or else) when the battery is fully charged?
orange led => battery charging
green led => full charge
red led => battery very low (stay in this until your xda turn on)
Thank you, abdelamine

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 everyone, yesterday I took my G1 from my pocket (after using it normally for some hours) and it was turned off. I thought the battery was dead (I left it at about 20% charge) so I tried to turn it back on and surprise...no vital signs at all. The phone didn't turn on, and the led was dead. After losing half of my hair, I tried removing the battery and placing it back. Now the phone behaves like this; when I press the power button, as long as I keep it pressed the led flashes red and that's it. When I stop pressing the power button the led stops flashing. When I plug the usb cable, the led gives a solid red and stays like that forever.
Please someone tell me it's just a screwed up battery...please

Probably bad battery. It is certainly worth it to at least try another battery -- they're dirt cheap anyways, or better yet, BORROW one.
* Solid green (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is fully charged.
* Solid red (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is charging.
* Flashing red: The battery is low and needs to be charged.
* Flashing green: There is a new notification.

Leave it to charge for 30 minutes or so, then try to power on. should be okay
better to charge from ac power if u can
Its possible your charger could be faulty.
I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?
Try leaving it charge for a good hour, or just go out and try a new battery, could just be dead.
Sent from my Xoom
sometimes if a battery gets to low it wont even charge... not just for phones but cameras too and so on..... iv had to do this to cell phones and cameras.... take a usb cord you dont care about and cut it and expose the red and black wires..... look for the positive on your battery and negative, usually its marked, how positive to positive and negative to negative for 30 seconds to a minute while its plugged into the computer then, pop the battery back into the phone and try to charge..... everytime iv had to do this for a freind or something of my own the battery has lasted over a year after with no problems.... just a suggestion
Thanks for the suggestions. I had already ordered a new battery and the phone boots up with it but it won't charge on or off and usb isn't recognized either. I tried wiggling the plug around to see if it was some kind of loose connection but it doesn't appear to be the case. I may take the phone apart and see if anything is loose but otherwise I'll just have to enjoy the last 30% battery of G1 time I have.
I cant turn on my device, the only thing that seems to work is the led, when I turn it on starts on green then orange and finalley red, Does anyone know what happened?
Does it work at all when plugged in to the mains power? Does teh charge led light up to display what is going on? Do you have another device/a multimeter that you can check the battery with. it could be that the battery has died / needs a long charge / doesn't want to work. Hopefully that is what it is, as if not, it could be something a lot more severe.

Connected the u8800 to the pc overnight for charging, today the phone will not turn on.
Charging it just results in the red led flashing, tried removing the battery but that did not help.
Anyone else had this?

Sounds like broken battery... can you boot at pink screen? plug the phone to the PC without battery and try volume up + volume down + power.
ok, it starts without a battery.
Lucky for me i have 3 huawei 3g routers, two of them not even opened. They use the same battery as the phone, hb4f1.
The battery was completely dead, so going to ask for a new one.
Hi, i have the same problem i connect my phone into power and the red led blinks,except that that mine had get into see water...I try to get into pink screen but it is not responding.Also i have disassembly the phone and clean it from the water inside.Is there any fix?Will it be some component broken from the water?Any help will be appreciate.Thank you
What we had:
Nexus 4. with cracked digitizier, but finely working. (except the battery, which lasted less than it should) i tried to remove glass, of course with no luck. Ended with no image on lcd. but phone worked fine, charged, connected to pc, played sounds, etc.
2 weeks of waiting for new lcd. I didn't charge it all that time. (my bad)
So after replacement, i tried to power on, aand it didn't show any signs of life. Put it on charge, red led blinked once when i connected usb. (there was no red led any time after "first charge")
So now:
When i power it on without charge it gives one short vibration. No led or image.
When i put it on charge no reaction at all, but when i hold power button it gives the same vibration and if i hold it for 8-10 seconds more the red led blinks. It stops blinking only when i release power. Also, when the red led blinks, strange repeated noise comes from charger.
Also, i'm not sure about lcd, but it should be fine. No reaction from pc, also.
Your ideas? Hoping it's not the motherboard fault

Take the back off again, unplug the battery and replug it. Then try to boot/charge (you can do this without replacing the back, in case you want to try again). If this doesn't work, you may need a new battery. Most likely the battery itself is fine, but maybe the connector ribbon was damaged.
