Broken X10?

Hi. After I connected my xperia x10 to pc, it turned off. When i tried turn it on again nothing happened. Now when I turn it on, a led blinks and that's all. Nothing else happen. Can anybody tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?

Have you tried taking the battery out for 10 seconds?

Yes, I have, but it didn't change anything.

This has happened to someone i know, after they flashed their x10 it just blinked green for a split sec.
However all he did and you could try this is keep pressing the power button and each time hold it down for 3-5 secs. Do not remove the battery in between, just repeat the process till it vibrates then leave it to boot up.
Hope it works out for you...

It did happened to me yesterday, did exactly what the post above says, holding the power button for a long period of time, and it vibrates and turned on.

It doesn't help. This red led blinks three times always when I turn phone on or when I try charge battery or when I connect it to PC. If I hold on power button it blinks 3 times then it stops for 0,01 s and blinks again. Please help me!!!

Hi.
Had you done anything before it started like trying to root or update?

Maybe it's your battery.... If that happend to my x1 I needed to charge my battery... My battery level was so low that it took about 20 minutes to get my x1 working.... good luck!

I don't know. I bought it in this condition. It wasn't flooded or decomposed.

Battery has 3.2V. Full baterry has 3.6V, so I think it should started on this battery.

Maybe you can try and leave it charging for a while? Have you tried that already?

Now it's charging. I'll leave it for a night. While charging this red led blinks. Should it be like that?

If the battery is bellow 10%, it blinks red. Then it will turn orange and green when >90%

It changes to green, but still I can't turn it on. When I push button nothing happen.

You bought it knowing it wouldn't turn on?

Yes, it was cheap. I thought I could fix it but now I don't know. Few minutes ago it turned on and now it stands at Sony Ericsson logo, but doesn't go any further. Just standing at logo. Maybe the battery is broken?

I reseted him and now again red led blinks.

I assume you've already connected it in flash mode and run SEUS?

Problem with charge battery

Hiho,
go to the problem:
I changed the original rom to CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY EUROSKANK [21/12/12]). used one month, until one day I was playing, and the battery was low, so I left him there, went to sleep. I woke up, and he was discharged and placed in wall charger, and went to watch. some hours later, I tried to turn on, and nothing happened, I thought I plugged the charger in the wrong way, I put to charge again, and noticed that out instead of white LED appears, was the red led. Loading left for some hours, I turn on and nothing happened .. (@! #! @ # $) And then plugged in the USB, and lit the white LED, and could not access it.
I did the MacGyver method, to bootloader battery, and did SBF flash:
" JDGC_U6_2.12.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P013_A033_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf ", was all right for some time, when I put it to charge and lit the red light again, and then pulled the plug, and he hung up. and is now well. and no more MacGyver mode solves the bootloader
Please help
Sorry for the horrible english, I'm using google translate.:silly:
And also the huge text (I would explain how it happened)

can someone help?

Hi,
Sorry but in case you don't know, when the phone is discharged (under 7 or 10%) and when we plug it, it's normal to have red led. But you must have the "battery charging animation" with percentage when it charges... When it's charged enough (above 7 or 10 %) you can turn on the phone (power button long press).
Your battery could be dead, yes... But :
How old is your battery ?
Have you checked your wall charger ?
Is your USB cable charges your battery ?
Is your battery charges well with your original SBF (without CM) ?
If you know someone else who owns a Defy, you could test with his battery and his wall charger....
Your USB connector could be damaged....
Need some more informations to help you....

the cell completed one year this month (January / 13). I know that when the led is red because it is very low on battery. But let Loading 4 hours +. and when I connect to the computer it does not charge. it only illuminates the white LED, and can not connect or power on. anyway, the exchange led to suppose that shows the usb part is okay. I've used various chargers.
I can not run the SBF, why he does not recognize.
The phone is not turning on. apparently only led.

Try another battery... Your system could be corrupted, I mean, it seems your phone can't charge in 0-7 % step, so it will never boot... Dunno why, it could be an issue even if I don't really think so... But, to save your phone it's the better thing you can do. Couldn't you borrow someone's Defy battery ? A friend ? A shop ? Then you could test !

Are you sure you can't do any of these two steps (3 or 4) of the "bricked defy Step by Step Walkthrough" thread ??
Even the 4th ?
[...
3.First shutdown your phone, hold the Vol down and boot the phone up keeping the volume down pressed. you should come up to a triangle android logo, press the vol up and down key and then tap the screen ( this is a touch screen gui), choose the wipe data/cache and press ok, this should take up to 5 minutes.
4. Now, shut down the phone (pull the battery out and return it back in), Hold the Vol Up button and power up your phone.
you will enter the Bootloader (or BL as its called in the forums) and you should see the phone stating that (usually 9.10 version)
...]
If not, even with a charged battery, I 'm afraid your defy has a hardware issue...
Is your power button still alive ?

Power it on, when connected to wall charger. sometimes starts, sometimes they're showing is charging (the battery symbol with percentage in the middle). but I just pull it off. ie power on it, just in wall charger.
if a hardware problem it would not mind at all. (I think)

[Q] Blinking red led, no boot when plugged in

Hi all,
My Nexus 4 just shut down after going really hot. I cannot turn it on anymore, when I press the On/Off button with our without the volume buttons nothing happens, except if it is plugged in.
In that case, after about 15 sec I have a blinking red led.
I think the problem is material, but I don't know if the problem comes from the battery or something else. I don't want to buy a new battery if my Nexus 4 is dead... So I am trying to figure out if the problem is about the battery or not. I think not because even when plugged in, nothing shows on the screen when I try to turn it on.
What do you think ?
Thanks very much for your help,
Guillaume.

When you get the blinking red led while on the charger, how many time does it flashes ?
Is it the same as this:
"
By red flashing light, I mean: Hold power for 12 secs with good charger connected gives flashing red light: one short, pause circa 2 sec, 11 flashes at one per sec, pause under 1/4 sec, one short dim flash, pause c. 2 sec, repeat. This is the notification LED directly above the USB socket.

Hi cxda48,
I have the exact same behaviour : 11 flashes, a short pause followed with one short flash, then repeat.
You have an idea of what it means ?
Thanks !

I had a similar problem. The phone will not start and when you put the red light blinking loaded several times. My Solving: I opened the phone and pulled the battery pins. I connected the battery and the phone started normally.

*similar* but not the same I guess.
It seems like the IC that turns on and off the LED is the PMIC ("Power Management Integrated Circuit"). When something goes wrong, this IC has got some intelligence to give out some information about what is wrong (a bit like the bios on a PC). So 11 red LED flashes is an error code I guess. When the battery is disconnected it's 1 red LED flash (that error code probably means battery not present/worng) in my experience.
I know at least that with the 11 flashes issue, changing / reconnecting a charged battery does not solve this issue
Would anyone have information about what these codes mean ?

I thought I should give some feedback on how I sorted out this problem:
After discussion with google after-sales, I sent it for repair to the official LG repair contractor in the UK (SBE Ltd, based in Ashford, UK).
I precisely chose to go through LG repair rather than google because google warned me they would replace the nexus4 so I would
1) loose my data
2) get a potentially worse phone(refurbished) than mine (which is really mint with outstanding battery life)
I sent the phone with instructions on what I think needed done : replacement of the PMIC and *not* a swap of motherboard. When the nexus4 was back, I noticed they ignored my message & swapped the motherboard .
They kept my housing but they also swapped the battery(was not required) and now the battery life is very poor ! I am still in communication with LG regarding the battery issue

[Q] Is my phone bricked or is it a simple battery issue?

Ok so yesterday I had my nexus 4 in the charger at 46 percent and i was about to send a tweet when the screen froze. thinking it was a simple crash i pressed the home button and no visual response then it powered off. now whenever i try to power it on nothing happens. i tried pressing the power and volume buttons. whenever i try to turn it on and i plug it in the red light flashes. sometimes it flashes continiously sometimes it is a solid color. so what can i do it wont communicate with the computer. im not sure what the issue is. is it a battery issue or is it impossibly bricked. i already charged it overnight to no avail.
oh and im running stock cm11 with the stock cm kernel. i just installed it the night before.
im planning on just openning it and unplugging and plugging the battery back in. will this work?

Try power button + volume down for 10 seconds and than plug in the power cable. You somehow must try to boot into bootloader.

But if you can screw off you phone, that I would suggest to look after the batterie :good:

It is hard to say, because there are so many reason why your device doesn't boot only left the red LED flashing. One reason could be your batterie which is bricked. Another reason could be a thermal shutdown cause by overheat. And of course there are those little, little software issues that only appear once in five years...

Nexus 6P RED Light Of Death?

Hello,
I was on a phone call earlier today and my 6P (Nougat 7.0 stock, EX kernel, 90% off charge before the call) turned itself OFF and the notification light was blinking red. I tried starting it as usual, using the power button, to no avail. I tried plugging it in to the OEM power cable, also to no avail. I plugged it into my computer using the OEM USB cable; still nothing. Nothing I did would elicit any response from the phone at all. I checked online, and tried power button plus down volume technique. Nothing. Even after keeping it connected to the stock OEM charger for more than an hour, the screen is still blank and notification light is still blinking red.
Q: Is the battery or motherboard dead? Should I leave it for an over night charge and see if it boots backup? Or should I RMA it without warranty?
Any help on this would be extremely helpful.

I have only had that issue once where the phone said 40% but suddenly died and blinky red light but plugged it in and then screen flashed that it needed charging then was able to turn it on after a minute. Maybe your charger is not working or that you need to RMA if you have rooted your phone or anything I've never had an issue of it destroying warranty. With Nexus or HTC.

My Nexus 6P did the same thing... Just turned off and the notification light blinked red. I can't turn it on. Charging seems to work since current is passing to the phone (via USB current meter). But won't turn on. In your post, what is R. O. D.? Did you ever figure out what went wrong? Should I get a technician to look at it or just buy a new phone? My warranty expired about a month ago and Huawei wont do anything for me. Thanks

FWIW - i fixed mine...
Perhaps different set of variables but i woke to find my 6p doing the red blink shuffle. power button, 2 blinks i believe, plug to charge, constant blinking.
what worked for me- unplugged, help vol + and power for 15 seconds, blinked once maybe 10seconds in. afterwards, plugged to power, showed charging icon, no blinks. let it charge and all was back to normal. (this is with unlocked bootloader, not sure on other specs as it was a backup device and i have forgotten. when i get home, if anyone requires, i can post exacts on it, though doubt it will be necessary)

Literally the same thing happened to me. Constant blinking, when I hold down the power button 2 blinks. *Heart Attack* This frickin happening 2 days before my holiday, but doing what you've said above worked. Observing it going from 0% to 9% in the bootloader as I type this.
Could this be a symptom of something worse? Like the charger part of the motherboard giving out? Because I've had this phone on charge for a few good hours through the night, where it managed to die and stop charging.

old thread here. but just to add to it for any new folks that come across this problem. I bought a new battery and replaced it. And still only get the red light of death. So it has to be something other than the battery.

Same for me, new charge board and new battery and no change.
The power and volume trick doesn't work for me.
If I plug the charger in the red light stops blinking but it still doesn't turn on.
If I leave it unplugged for long enough it goes back to the red light blink so it's obviously draining the battery even thought it doesn't appear to be powered up.

This only happened to me once. Battery died and the phone shut down. Charged it for an hour on oem charger and it would only flash the red light. I had to charge it from my laptop usb port and for some reason that did the trick
