My HD2 won't turn on, the orange light won't turn on when I plug it in the charger. This all happened while playing a game I had just downloaded it shut off and wouldn't turn back on. It was at 80% battery. The game was called "speedx". Any help would be great. Thanks. :-(
Bent prongs on battery lol
found the solution haha. You can close this thread

Hi Guys dropped my universal down the toilet. Left it and it worked but dont think i left it long enough because now its dead as a dodo.
I get the red light when the phone is on charge if theres no battery in once i put a battery in nothing.
Any ideas or is it dead.
Its under warrenty any ideas there. They want to look at it before they repair and will only fix it if its there fault.
My house insurance doesnt cover it i treid

TBH, I'd leave it some where warm and dry without the battery for a few days to dry out and try again. As long as its fresh water in the bog you might be lucky.
I've stuck my BT Head set through the wash a couple of times, dryed it in the sun (with the washing) and its still going strong.
Good luck

Thx i will give it a try.
I have had a quote of £98 for a new main board does that sound reasonable.
I,m missing my exec aready
i have had that problem in the past, when my pda has been withrout power for long times, in most cases i founed out that the problem is aturly the fact that the backup battery is low or empty of power, if you leave it to dry then put back the main battery then leave it on charge for about a day or so that red light should turn to the green light when the backup battery is charged and it starts charging the main battery
lyonj2,
The Exec/Universal doesn't have a backup battery.

So you think its the motherboard.
Still not working by the way. Just going to have to bite the bullet and send it for repair. Might try O2,s warrenty you never know they might just replace it.
Thanks
dry it up make sure it dont look like an accident! loads of bog roll in crevices and they will know what you did!!
put it out in the sunshine just to make sure they find no water!
i purchased one of those backup batteries on ebay from china, after about 2 weeks it came in.
upon opening it i compared it to my battery, the new one said htc inovation on it but looked like a knock off counterfit to me. so before ever putting it in my phone i put it in the included charger and started charging it. once it was complete i tried changing batteries and as soon as i put it in my nexus one the little led at the top right started flashing from green to orange, the screen wouldnt even flicker. as long as this battery was in, even if i plugged it in it would do this. i left it plugged in over night.
i really dont wanna wait for a new one so im wondering if there is a way i could fix it. im going out on a limb and suspecting that the charger that came with it is the problem, as it seems to be some weird universal charger. so for the past few days ive had a led attached to the battery and it still i not dead. once its completely dead im going to try to charge it with my nexus.
any other ideas/insight you guys can give?
I know you can get a bit of info from /sys/kernel/debug/battery_log
I'm not 100% sure on how exactly to interpret that though.
I've also had what i assume is a dud battery from ebay. Exactly the same issue - flashing orange/green LED. I'm waiting for them to ship a replacement. I guess I'm not really that surprised. It's not like it's a genuine battery. I was kind of expecting problems with it i guess.
yeah it reminds me of those fake louie vutton purses you see on the streets in big cities, says htc on it but i doubt htc had anything to do with making it.
i bought one just like it for my g1 a year ago and it worked fine, still works to this day with no noticable difference from the legit one that i got it with.
i got a refund but i hate to let it go to waste i wanna try to fix it. when i hook it up to the led it shines so its obviously giving power, but every few seconds or so the led flashes, im not sure if this is the battery or the fact that i have the led taped to the diodes lol.
did you get one of those universal battery chargers with yours? i got one that you have to slide the connectors to fit the battery and i have a feeling its about as high quality as the battery. im wondering if that had anything to do with it?
that's what mine did when it got dunked in water....
did you dunk the whole phone or just the battery?
ive noticed that the phone flashes from orange to green if you try to turn it on while its plugged in without a battery in. perhaps it means insufficient power?
just a heads up, i put the new battery i got into the charger that was included in my first backup batty the charger is this one from this same seller
http://cgi.ebay.com/Multi-Purpose-B...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3efc5b5855
not only did it destroy the new battery but it melted part of it after litterally 10 minutes of charging.
BEWARE of that charger and probably that seller as well
it probably would have burned my house down if i had not smelled it before walking out the door

I forgot to charge my phone last night. Its completely dead this morning. I plugged the phoned in, and now I"m getting soft keys light up, the battery charging icon shows up for about 3 sec, process starts over, and over. Any ideas. Its been charging for the last 30min.
Dude, I think your phone is a brick !!!
Just messin' with ya. Plug it into the wall charger and leave it be for a while. Don't try to turn it on, just let it charge. The battery is completely dead. AS another helpful measure, pull the battery and put it back in there.. then let it charge for a while

Yea you're right it, just needed a good charge. I was trying to charge it for most of the day though. Thanks for the info.
I seemed to try all 3 methods and nothing is happening. I was using the rom and the phone died. Please help
EDIT AS OF JUNE 6TH!: Fixed it with an ac wall charger.

Looks like WP7 will not charge if the battery is dead.
I don't have experience with WP7, I just read the thread above earlier.
If the battery was fully depleted the procedure on the link is worth a shot.
Good luck.
ive been trying that and sadly no luck. i hope this guys rom didnt mess up my phone. they dont even sell the hd2 on tmobile anymore
theres nothing wrong with the ROM,
WP7 was never ment for our device, the battery controller and WP7 do not get along well at all,
if you can boot to bootloader or magldr then plug in your cable, it will charge, no lights will come on though.
if you cant boot to it try heating up the battery a bit
there is a method that suggests plug it in, remove the battery, leave for a few seconds, put the battery back in again and leave to charge
the final method of charging involves connecting a USB cable directly to the battery, , cut an end off, connect the red to the +, the black to the -
the other two cables are not used and should be taped up
the third terminal on the battery is not used either, tape up the connections so that they cant short out. finally plug the cable back in to the PC
all methods should not be charged for more than 1 hour
How long do I heat up the battery if I'm using a hairdryer?
just make it warm to touch, i wrapped mine up in a towel and put it on a radiator for a few min, it was warm, not hot, it gave me just enough to get me in to bootloader. it should comfortably warm your hand and not be hot in any way,
but that will only work if you havent killed your battery competely, if you have no volts or amps you will need to direct charge it or use an external charger.
remember, its a chemical reaction inside those things, you ever see a laptop catch fire? well its the same kind of batteries so be warmed! .....did you see that ? .....ok im now leaving

k thanks im about to try that now.....i missed the warped in towel part
I woke up this morning to find out my phone was dead, it was charging when i left it. So i search the forums and find a bunch of threads saying its a faulty wall charger etc. Tested and nope nothing.
the only signal of life shows when i connect a usb cable to it, I love the Atrix but im kinda dissapointed this is the first phone that dies on me.
Try removing the battery and install again after 10 seconds.
try removing sd card, this happened to me once with xperia x10. my card was dead after thata and was not letting phone boot up.

You know that's a weird coincidence. I noticed that the battery on my Wife's Atrix was low last night so before bed I plugged it in for her.
I woke up and looked over at her phone and there was the Droid with an exclamation point in a triangle on her screen.
I was way more fortunate than you because all I had to do was a battery pull and it restarted.
I wonder if it has anything to do with that massive solar ejection we just had?
I skated by this time but the moral of my tale is don't plug in your Significant Others phone for them... You might have some 'splaining to do.

hey bro, get a car charger for a backup but call warranty 800-801-1101 and see if they will replace it.

I live in Dominican Republic, dont think getting a replace would be a viable option, because of the shipping costs etc.
so thats it?, it died randomly without any explanation or solution? lol that sucks
Need one of the devs from the captivate forum to look into the attix to serif there is a "sleep death" it "charge death" occurring here. The captivate and Infuse 4g I had, when this happened, you could smell a burnt electronics smell under the battery cover. I'm thinking we might be able to get a logcat in the mix? .......
Don't listen to anything my Atrix types via CM7......
how can i get a logcat from a dead phone?
Update
-Charged the battery using an external battery and the phone wont work anyways.
-Checked the voltage using a tester, the battery is fine.
It seems my atrix is ****d

My Atrix suddenly died after a trip to the cinema...
Turned it (completely normal shutdown) off before the movie began and when I came home it just didn't want to turn on. There is nothing wrong with the battery. :/
Did you tried the solutions posted by the members in here?, mine is still dead.

If it doesn't turn on at all, it seems you are sol, unfortunately.
That's a sign of a hardware failure.
