Hi All,
Sorry, another "bricked" vega.
I know that it is supposed to be impossible but......
All I get when I switch it on is the backlight switches on and that is it.
I have tried holding down the back and on button and unplugging the power cable, but nothing.
Anybody got any ideas?
Many thanks,
Go-fetch
I had this as well. Leave it on charge overnight. You can't get to recovery mode unless it,s charged past 60%

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply, it is all working again.
All I need to do now is to put R8 on it.

Hello.
I have also this problem, do not respond to anything.
What did you do that work?
Another Bricked Vega
Hi there, i have had a similar issue before. All i did was leave the vega on charge for a bit and keeping on charge when putting into recobery and connecting the the pc. also had an issue with it not working with my laptop but works fine on my pc have even gone so far as to completely wipe my pc so there is no other software / driver issues affecting the process, it is worth the effort to try these steps if all else fails. good luck.

Hey there guys, congratulations for the good work.
I bought xda neo from e bay a year ago. Things went good till one day i had to reinstall the Rom. I did it with succes then i tried to install a programm and it asked for reboot. I checked "YES" and it started shutting down. The next thing i remember is waiting for hours to start up but it never did.
It does not boot at all seems like dead.
Battery is working good 'cause i checked it to a friends mobile and I also tried to use his battery to mine but didnt work. Tried to connect it to the pc by the cables but didnt work too.
I heard that there are some pins which can be jumpered in order to connect the mobile cpu direclty with the pc...
Any ideas? I am starting to believe that it wont work again...
Thanks for your time....
keep up the good work!

hard reset
try doing a hard reset, you will lose all information if you havent backed up but atleast your pocket pc will be up and running again
I tried hard reset but it does not respond...
just to make sure before you go trying with pins or something, I take it you have tried to get it to bootloader?
(with a turned off phone, press and hold camera button then insert USB cable)

Yes, I have done that too, but still no response. I was told that the olny way to check it if it is broken is to use the test pins but i still havent found anyone who knows about them ( where they are on the mobo )...
Are you familiar with their place on the mobo???
noone????
I am willing to pay for the info ....i am desperate!!!
heeelp!!!
I m also looking for the same !!
My NEO does not want to start at all...
The repairing guys told me its the problem with the POWER IC.
but since the spares are not available the entire board needs to be changed.
I also tried the batt sorting and the pins sorting tricks...
but no response.
Now the phone just shows red LED when I put on wall charger and the phone gets xtremly heated
ALL THE BEST DUDE!!!
just hope the phone starts by itself
any news guys?
i have same problem with dopod 818
qtek s200

same here...
solutions yet?
Hi im from Germany,
i tried to flash my Acer S200 but it stopped by 50% and i have pluged the cable out. I cant turn it on, it gives no signal, i cant bring it to the download mode. Nothing is working no hardreset with buttons.Nothing is working and when i plug it to usb the LED isnt blinking
Sorry for my bad english ..
my phone is new, it has garanty, should i contact the acer support or can anyone help me ?
Hold volume up/vol down button + reset until you see "clean boot"
i tried it the phone gives no signal .. no clean boot is coming .. the rom flashing was at 50% i think it is breaked
but thank you
did you try removing then replacing the battery. then try bootloader mode again?
yes i tried but nothing is working i cant enter the bootloader nothing is working it is just off no vibration nothin is working
sorry, but I have to ask, are pressing then holding vol down +power +camera buttons
at the same time until blinking red light starts?
you have to get into bootloader mode then flash a custom rom
brainmaster has a few including a "clean" rom.
I had this happen awhile ago and tried so many things for 2 days that now I don't
remember what actually worked! But I don't think that your S200 is bricked.
Also, make sure that you keep the power cable pluuged in (not usb)
you need a good charge even if you don't see the green light.
just keep trying and if I can remember I let you know.
or someone here will help you to find a solution!
thank you for your help but there is no light blinking. Also when i plug it to charge no light is going on. it doesnt charge the battery. i hope you can remember
i already know how to flash a rom but the phone doesnt give any sign
sorry I can't remember but you should ask brainmaster and maybe he can really help.
And he speaks german= )
thank you i will send him my problem
Any solution
Hi. I kind of found myself in the same situation. My acer s200 is unresponsive, no blinking lights no matter key/reset combinations. Had been in the middle of flashing on a new ROM when it got accidentally disconnected.
Any possible solution? Already checked the battery out in a different phone and it's fine and charged.
Hey,
i don't want to looks like a vultur, but if some of you can't find a solution to resolve the problem you have, I'm interested by the device because I need some piece. Of course I hope you can resolve your problem but if there are no led blinking, the last possibility is to send it to acer, and if you don't want to wait/pay/or whatever to with the acer support, I'm interested by your device.

Vulture indeed!! I'm need of help man.
you still need help?????
Hey GarcoG. Yes, still in need of help. My S200 is currently a desktop paperweight at home. It's a beautiful paperweight but it was made for so much more. Would really like to get it up and running again.
A new thing I noticed. I'm able to charge my phone's battery to full on my friend's s200. Of course when I put it back into my phone, it's still completely unresposive. However, I noticed that whenever I put it back into my friend's phone, the charge on it has reduced. I'm pretty sure it's not a battery issue I have since my phone is still unresponsive with my friend's battery in it and the same happens with that battery as well.
Would really appreciate any ideas on fixing this.
Hi, count me in. I just jumped on your wagon.. will try to disassemble this beauty soon before I officially demote it to a shiny paperweight.. well it's not that shiny, i put on a matte screen protector on it
Really funny about that matte screen protector. Cannot wait for the results. In my case, phone got accidentally connected just as it had reached the stage of flashing on the new ROM. Was thinking it was probably unresponsive because the ROM instructions that enable it respond to key combinations are absent hence cant get it into Bootloader mode.
@ incognito_tkd: Any luck with the disassembly? Would like to know your findings.
I have same problem... same situation
But... when I connect my USB charger, it shows red LED on... as if the charging is ON. But no reaction
Any one help please
there is no possibility to repair the phone... you have to send it to acer !!
i got my phone 1month after i´ve send it
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum (first post), I've owned my Continuum for a few months now happily with no problems. I actually love the phone! But recently I ran into a pretty big problem...
Let me give you a little background on my phone first, I have used SuperOneClick on it, to grant super user permissions, I've used the program to grant me access to the phone tethering apps that are out (currently using Open Garden), and the AdFree app in the market. I havn't used anything else in regards to 'hacking' my phone so I'm a bit confused as to why I'm getting trouble.
Anyways here's my problem, lol! Well the other day I turned off my phone and tried turning it back on and I would get a grey battery with the spinning disk, and it wouldn't turn on :\! I tried holding all the buttons, for over 10 seconds, no avail. It still turned on to the battery and nothing. I tried taking the battery out for a whiiiile and nothing. Eventually I plugged in my phone to the wall and it magically worked. Actually that's the only way I've been able to get my phone to turn on lately. It works fine once it's on but every time I turn it off the same thing happens .
So that's truly why I'm here... Is my phone 'bricked', or are these some symptoms of being 'bricked'? Are there any fixxes I can go about taking to you know...fix the problem ?
Any help would be Greatly appreciated,
Thanks everyone,
-Matt
Oops, I forgot to mention that my phone has been acting strange sometimes in the sense that I plug it into the wall and the 'Mass Storage/ Media player' option comes up, even though it's not plugged into the computer, just into the wall.
Pretty strange huh?
Anyways thanks again everyone who helps!!!
Can you try taking out the battery, then putting it back in...
Then hold down the volume down key as you power it back on?
I would try un-rooting and doing a factory reset... that should eliminate software issues... If you're still having issues then take it to VZW and let them give you a new one.
This is not "bricking"... If a phone is "bricked", it does nothing, absolutely nothing, and the only way to make it useful is to use it to build something.
Sure, right now it says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!".
Thanks for letting me know it's not bricked, that's a little reassuring .
After a while I just took out the battery and stuck it back in and attempted to turn on the phone the usual way, and it turned on just fine. I'm guessing it's fixed and hopefully it won't do that again.
Well... Last month I installed VegaComb 3.2 9b3 on my Advent Vega.
It fixed my WiFi problem (yay!) but sound was so ****ty I switched to my wildfire for music.
But that's not it.
A week ago, I tried to turn it on but the only thing that would happen was that it's screen would flash half a second then turn off. I waited and after a couple seconds not touching it, it turned on normal, saying it had 90% battery (and it did have it).
So I discarded the behavior as a glitch.
But two days ago I tried to turn it on again and it happened again. This time it doesn't power up, and when I connect it, the battery charging pilot flashes for a couple minutes then goes off (battery full).
So it won't start. I press the button, screen turns on, then flashes light, then turns off.
I've tried opening it to see if there was any PCB damage (I know how to do it, I didn't break anything, and it was the first time I've opened this one.) but it seemed OK as far as my circuit ability can tell.
So, any help for a desperate Vega user? Thanks!
Hmm... by your exact description of the problem I would say it's a faulty unit.
Some computer components gradually become faulty.
But I don't have VegaComb installed and if other VegaComb users have same problems then it might be a software issue.
And if it is a software issue, can you reflash it?
I just came back home (I was on a trip) and tried to nvflash it to no avail.
Won't power up It only has 6 months, can't be faulty! >_< (or at least I hope so)
Hi, ou says nvflash work but tab dont boot or cant flash?
have you trie the fix for" stuck on boot back screen" ( you can do it only if adb work well).
I have this bug once and after this ( i keep it on POV web site support ) work like a charm. hope this help .
I have tried everything. Now it won't even charge.
*sight* I have the first broken VEga, yay!

SOLVEDDDDD!!!!
And I consider myself a computer-savvy guy? T_T
The tablet was (is) ok! It's the power supply adapter that broke.
The Vega was just out of battery!! >_<
A month and a half without tablet because of THIS!
Well I just got myself in a really weird situation. I will try to be as descriptive as possible about what I did wrong. My Blade was flashed with "Eco CM7 - A minimalist cm7 build" and it was working just fine until today I tried to install INT2EXTV2+ The flashing hanged at the point where it was asking me if I wanted SWAP or not and nothing would work even if I kept choosing NO! Ever since then I tried to install that my phone will just not turn on if I push the power button. BUT, if I connect the USB cable and hold the power button, the phone will power on.
I have tried formating and re installing the rom I was using and also I tried reflashing Via windows with TPT which worked just fine but even if I did so, the problem still remains. As soon as I unplug the usb the phone goes off as if the battery is dead, even if the indicator shows the battery is full. Also if I let it boot, as soon as the screen shows a glimpse of the android UI, the phone reboots.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do and what I did?
-EDIT-
After leaving it for a whole day (14 hours) to rest with the battery off and then putting the battery back on and trying to turn it on, it did. I am glad it is still alive. I still do not get what happened to it.
