Hello dear friend, I sympathise with you I had this exact same problem and was worried sick for a day and a half that it was dead! the red light under the power button is the battery fail light (as far as i can tell) it goes on for example when you plug the charger in and remove the battery. I've found if you run the battery down to absolute minimum it almost seems like the X1 cant detect the battery any more and displays the red light. I fixed mine by removing and replacing the battery a few times and plugging it into the wall charger for a few hours. keep trying and dont lose heart, like I say it took me a day and a half (with a sleepless night inbetween
Also mine, but after five minutes it's wake up.
Try simply to remove battery, or performe a soft reset via hardware button with the stylus.
Let you X1 charge for an hour or 2 and it will start up again, guess this is when the phone don't get a enough power to start up.
(Guess it can indicate some other error as well but probably just lack of juice in the battery .. )
thanks guys..
it is still not working but i know that the phone it self is OK.
i wend back to the store and they switched the battery from another xperia.
it worked fine
i'm so happy right now. it's charging at the moment, but still not going on, well, i have to wait and see then.
again: thanks for the posts guys
Mind you... it might take a while! I had it connected to a cheap usb charger for a night (which wasn't good enough obviously) and it took me the better part of a morning to get it to life again with the SE charger. I find it most irritating that this sort of thing isn' t mentioned in the manual. At least not where I could find it. Things like a phone that doesn't want to start make you sweat horribly.
I have this problem with mine but still no luck
Been dead for weeks now.... Finding it hard to get a copy of the receipt too bah
Only had it a month too..
It's prolly one cell in the battery that are "broken".
Had that on my X1. There are 3 cells in the battery and if one of them doesn't work as it should, the battery only delivers 3-3.1 volt.
Your phone "wakes up" at 3.335 volt but dies at 3.1. I've been measure it myself.
My phone are now back in business with a new battery, a new batterycover and latest software. No problem if you have guarantee...
PS... Try to avoid one thing. Avoid heat in battery. Lithium hates heat.

You are right, man.
Usually, if you discharge a battery till the very last drop, it can happen that:
A) one of the cell goes beyond its safety level, and it "breaks". That's unrecoverable, AFAIK.
B) the cells gets unbalanced, and you nedd several charge/discharge cycles to get them balanced and fully recovered.
Add to this that Usb charging is usually unable to wake up an almost totally drained battery. This won't happen with a normal charger, but Usb charging voltage is lower than normal (of course, it's usb not home plug!) so it has not enough power to wake up the dead battery. If you leave your device in charge for some minutes, it will eventually manage to wake the battery.
However, I noticed that the X1 has a bad power management. Usually my X1 low level battery threshold varies between 10% and 5%. One week ago, at 10% it just shut down and won't recharge, showing me the red light over power button. Removed battery 3/4 times and charged with home charger, it gets recovered. Try to plug the charger, remove the battery and insert it again, doing all this with the charger always plugged.
In my opinion, that's really annoying, I never know when it *really* has a low battery!

yeah.. i had that with my P990i (symbian uiq3) phone the batter went in 1 day to 50% now it still has 80%
this same thing happend to me last night, i just pluged it to a wall charger & waited for an hour good thing when i pressed the power button it came back to life. was worried then and now its all good.
i had this on my xperia a while ago i think its just the battery is extremely dead.
after an hour of being plugged it in it turned on again
Red Power button Led
Glad to find this info, the red light gave me the chills at first too. My phone blacked out while using TomTom 7.4 on a stock unbranded NL Rom, after it had given me low batt. warnings. Now it's in the 'home plug' charger, sipping juice on the red light... I hope it comes out of it soon. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has ideas on checking battery cell failure? Or battery diagnostics of some sort? It would be a shame to use a crippled battery just because you don't know it's operating below its max capacity. By the way, I'm not part of the lucky bunch in possession of a multi meter...
EDIT:
As soon as I hit 'post' the notification Led's display charging! And the red light's off of course. Guess the first post brings some beginners luck, hehe. Anyway, thoughts regarding battery diagnostics etc are still welcome!
Encountered this and according to the helpdesk, it's cos the backup battery is empty so he advised me to charge the phone for half an hour without the battery, and then charge it with the battery after that. Didn't work. Called up the helpdesk again and he said for some, they've to charge (without the battery) for an hour. Ok, tried that. But still doesn't seem to be working. Gonna just leave it charging (with the battery) for a few more hours. If still can't guess I gotta bring it down to the service centre.
there is a backup battery in xperia???

Remove your battery, wait 3 minutes, insert again the battery. If you have lost date & time info, no, there is no backup battery, otherwise yes, there is.
Well, anyway, sent my X1 for servicing. Over at the service centre, they tried to 'boost my battery' but couldn't get it working. So had to leave it there for them to work on it.
Just had this same problem, cleaned the battery terminals and hey presto...it's all good again..
Regards,
Astoroth
Sent my X1 to the service centre with regards to this issue and they replaced the motherboard. They'd tried boosting the battery but no use.
Same problem.. this is what happened
ok, I came back from work an as usually i plug the charger in my xperia, the baterry left was like 30%, ok, then, I connect in the 3.5mm an autput for a big Radio so i can listen full music... so.. in a while, in my house there was a power down.. really fast one... like... 0.01secs... (like down and up really fast).. in that change my cellphone went down =S.. and sice today never get up ='(... there's just that red light in the power button each time I plug the charger on... any help?.. is the same problem of the topic? :S.. plzzz.. i dont have even a month with this pretty cellphone =( poor baby
Hey Guys,
Before going to sleep last night I connected my Xperia 1 with the original SE Charger. Today it doesn't do anything.
I already removed the battery for a few minutes and tried the battery of a friend's X1. But it still doesn't boot.
Any ideas?
Is there a red light by the power button when you try to charge it?
no there isn't even a red light
maybe try taking battery out, charging the phone itself for about 15 minutes. then after that, put the battery in again to try to power it up.
when you charge the phone without the battery, the red light on the power button should be turned on. if not, i'm guessing there might be a possible short circuit.
IF it is a short circuit in your phone, then you will have to send it back to sony ericsson to get it fixed.
same problem

Good morning friends. I too had the same problem. the phone wont start up in the morning.... However, after 3 hours, i tried connecting the phone to the charger and then pressed the power button,,, to my surprise the phone started up. But, the battery is completely drained and its at level 0. I wonder how does this happen. I have kept the phone for charging for whole night but the charge remains 0. I doubt the battery. can any one help?

No brother, i charged through sony ericsson original charger. However, i was doing the same since i bought it.... But it was a one time go and after that this issue didnt turned back. The small remedy for this is take out the battery and, press and hold the power button to drain the static charges present in the circuits of the phone(These static charges are formed due to regular use of phone without soft resetting it(once in every two days)) . Once the phone is free from static charges wait for some time and then put on the battery in the phone and then try to turn on the phone... Believe me, it worked... This is not a phone for me... its a mini laptop integrated to a phone.
There are several threads about this. Search for the "xperia broken red light under the power buttonb" thread, it is very good and has many solutions.

Hello, just about to pull the trigger on a new xperia ZU, but i wanted to see if anyone had any tricks for me to try on my Xperia Z. I was running near the latest CM 10.2 without issues for awhile now. Last night while i was bowling the battery died( nothing new happens all the time to me ). When i returned home i hooked it up to the wall charger for about 30 minutes, came back and still no life. I have tried multiple chargers and multiple cables with no luck. Device has been plugged into power all night and all day so far. When i attempt to power on with it unplugged i get the 3 pulse red led. When i hit the power button with it plugged in all i get is a solid red LED. Nothing more, nothing less. Cant get into recovery or anything. Most of the time a hard brick involves a mis flash or something along those lines....any idea what could have happened to mine?

It might be the battery...
Its not advisable to full discharge the battery but it seems that u did it a few times..
The battery might not take any charge as the red indicator means low battery...
Tried a new battery,i know after removing the rear panel n say good bye to water resistance but is worth a try...
Or u can send it to me for free if u wanted to throw it away...
hope this helps...
Had the same thing happen
I had the same thing happen to me. From what I read trying to troubleshoot it seems like the Xperia phones in general can take 30 minutes + after a full battery drain to even register that a charger is connected. I would try just connecting it to the Sony charger for a few hours and see if that works.
There is also a tip about holding down the power button when plugging in the USB charger and continuing to hold the power button until the phone turns on. Unfortunately, can not find the original post right now. EDIT: Found it. http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-T-TX/Xperia-T-Wont-Charge-Turn-On/td-p/252686/page/4
In my case the red light would not even come on when the charger was connected but would come on if I held the power button down while connecting the charger. After I did this for a couple minutes the phone booted and has charged normally ever since.
So its a mixed bag. Try just charging it for a while on the Sony charger or wall charger (not USB). Or try the power button trick.
Lesson I learned is I will not let the battery completely drain again.
Ahhahha it came back alive! I had tried pretty much every trick that has been suggested and it just wouldn't charge or start to boot. Left it on the main charger again last night and still no luck this morning. Again I decided to plug it into my computer's usb port( I did this multiple times already ) and I hit the power button, a backlight came on!!! and then sure enough there was the free xperia logo! I have no idea why it finally decided to power on, but its showing 1% battery so it was truly not charging any of the times it was left on a charger, computer or mains. Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it!
I know this thread is pretty old. But I'm having the same trouble. Xperia Z got bricked after battery drain. It wont recognize charging, i kept it on charge two nights in a row now. It did show a red LED while charging for some time and nothing else, but now its back to being stone dead. tried holding down the power button trick, didnt budge. I thought you can only hardbrick it by doing a wrong flash/update. dont know what happened in this case. is there anything else I should try or just take it to a shop and ask to change the battery?

man, try with a new battery, here in my country cost 14 euro . Or go in a service or buy a multimeter and measure the current of ur battery. Normal they from service will give u electrosock to bring it to life. And if will dont work i think u must sell it on piece and buy another
Same problem with my Z3 Compact: one day phone became hot and started to discharge rapidly and when battery became empty, cannot charge and cannot boot, only red LED is ON. I changed the battery and phone booted again. BUT when battery was discharged completely, phone cannot boot again, only red LED is on when trying to charge.
Looks like something wrong with motherboard is happening...
Xperia ZL battery completely drained, not starting up
I know this thread is old one, but I am having issue with my Xperia ZL. Its battery drained to zero and then whenever I plug in my charger, screen starts, Xperia Logo pops up, red light also starts and suddenly everything goes off. This goes on and on infinite number of times. Phone heats up but it doesn't turn on. I had issue with my battery, a couple of months back, so I replaced it with new one. If anybody has any solution about this, please let me know.
xperia z bootloop
im stuck on bootloop and apps keep on optimising through the cycle. phone overheats too .. how do i sort this one out? ..might it be a bad battery? any help on this
Hi everyone ! I bought an xperia T two months ago, everything was perfect until this morning ! I was listenning to my music suddenly the phone turned off and when i tried to turn it on nothing happened ! I tried to hold the volume+ button and the power button but no vibrations or led light. I can't use flashtool because the phone can't boot on flashmode ! I plugged the phone on charge for several hours but nothing ! I really need some help because i can't send it back to sony !
Please guys i need help cuz i can't afford buying a new phone !
try pressing the power button while putting it on a charge. if it vibrates or a led comes it still is alive. If that doesnt work try a rubber band around the power button and then on the charge for 24 hours.

If its on charge get it off the charge and try vol+ and power button and hold it for a half minute till you feel vibrate. if you dont see the vibration.
If that doesnt work get it off the charge and try pressing power button and then put the usb in.
I keep coming back to these threads whenever my Experia T is acting up again. I finally bit the bullet and went the hardware way as described in a comment on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWox7kCygRE
"In the end I fixed this problem by removing the back cover (one screw in where the SIM card goes) and detaching the battery supply from the phone. After a minute or two I reattached the battery supply (its a little yellow tab beside where you plug in the charger) and put the cover back on, plugged into charger and it started charging as normal."
It's surprisingly simple, to be honest.

Hi...I have a problem with my Rogers Xperia T with locked Boot loader, hoping someone might have had something similar and be able to help. I made a new thread due to so many types of Soft Brick and my problem being different than most.
My cell crashed randomly while using my phone weeks ago. Went to turn it back on and nothing but a flashing Red Light all the time when trying to turn the cell back on. I've spent countless hours reading all the suggestions on this forum,with no real luck yet.
After many attempts to fix my cell from all the great tips on this forum...like taking my phone apart to disconnect the battery,rubber band trick etc. Nothing has ever changed. It seems my cell is stuck in some type of Flash Mode Loop? I can get my cell to vibrate 1-3 times holding the buttons,but doesn't change anything.
When plugged into the charger or PC, my light goes from solid Red for a few minutes then solid Green. But the Green light only stays for a few seconds then it goes out,but it still stays in Flash Mode for a few minutes than back to the Red again,and keeps repeating this cycle. Making it very hard to Flash or Repair my phone due to Flash Mode never staying long enough to complete. But if I disconnect my battery than plug it into my PC I can Flash or use PC Companion successfully. But still doesn't change anything.
I just can't seem to get the phone out of this Loop to complete any type of battery recharge. If any one else has had this,any input would be greatly appreciated. I've spent weeks reading so many posts on the forum and internet about soft brick and nothing seems to work.
Thank You
I Had this problem too

Hi
I had this problem with my device in few days before and recover my phone and now he is works like a love song baby.
Your Situation: Soft/Reset without any vibrates with flashing red LED
You should know the "Battery Life Cycle" very good. but now i give u some steps to do:
Step1. Keep Calm and let your blood reach on your brain to think and analyze your each time situation.
Step2. Don't hit the Power Button in every situation anymore. this works makes damages on doing some future works-SO DON'T TOUCH POWER
Step3. Estimate the duration time from plug the wall charger to green LED. for example mine was 15 minutes.
Step4. Let the Battery Dies completely.
Step5. Plug the charger for half of "Step3" Estimate time. for example mine was 7 minutes.
Step6. Unplug the Chrager.
Step7. Plug the Charger for 10 minutes later after "Step6". between this 10 minutes, flash FTF file to be ready.
Step8. Do "Step5" to "Step7" for three times.
Why you should do these steps like this?
Because in flashmode level you need enough battery charge that's for in flashmode the usb cable do not send any electrical charge to device.
Step9. Bring your device to flashmode and flash your device ( [Vol-] + [Power] then LED should turns green

Thanks alot for the great tip. It worked enough to charge my cell long enough to flash my stock ftf :good: But unfortunately hasn't changed anything on my cell.
It seems that i have the same issue, my bootloader is locked and as i plug in the phone the LED gets green and sometimes red, but the battery never gets warm, also the Display wont do anything.
I think this can be happening becouse the Connector is Damaged or something similar..
But spending more money seems like a waste for me

Did you do anything to your phone to cause this? Mine just suddenly froze up and crashed with normal use one day? I've never dropped it or damaged my cell in anyway. I just don't get it
well... i bought it 2 weeks ago on ebay, as defective.
"only red led flashing" was the description, well, thruth is it had a huge fight with water, a long time ago.. many contacts were corrosive, the battery was molten at the contacts comming from within, the connector for the buttons/display was extreme corrosive.
I Cleaned it up and bought a new battery, hoping it would do the trick, but now im with this problem..
I think if i could get a cheap connector i would buy one just to try it.
Or another one on ebay.. just have to wait for one.
but say, did your battery get any higher temperature when its charged?

No the battery temperature stays the same,I can only charge my phone a very little bit.
Okay, thanks!
It showed sony logo the first time ever now 0o
I let it charge for ca. 30 min then the sony logo appeared but it stuck at it, so i wanted to reflash with sus but it wont accept the T..
Now i have a clue whats the error on my phone, the side buttons are oxidised and so pushed themself so they are pushed the whole time!
These tiny buttons are just ****ty..
When they are broken u need another connector, so thats my next step, maybe ur phone also has gettin often wet or something?
I would try without that connector an let the battery charge for some time, if your phone boots then u know whats up with it..
Hope u can understand what i mean.. My english isnt the best xD

That's great you made some progress. Did you do anything different this time when charging. Mine always does the same Red Light Green Light loop no matter what.
Can you get your cell to respond to the power button and volume down? or are your side buttons too damaged?
Do the rubber band trick to charge up your battery.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
Well.. the power button and the Vol- fell apart, and i lost the magnet inside, so i have to wait till i get a new cable untill i can test further...
Can take up to 2 weeks till i get one, getting something like that in austria is a very long story, i can only order it from Germany or somewhere else and that takes minimum 2 days or more.
The rubber band trick havent worked for me also.
Phone just Vibrated and restarted,vibrated and restarted,..
And my phone was alwas in Flashmode!

The Left Cable is for Buttons and Display, just unplug it from the mainboard.
Then try to Load it, if the LED stops switching, it could be the Reason.
and test if anything happens when the battery is plugged out, could be that your battery is also dead an thats why it cant get charged.
€ i played another hour with this "T"hing..
i am now wery certain that its the buttons, what causes the flipping between red/green.
But an question, how fast did your LED change color? does it change every second or did it hold for some minutes and change then?

Well.. the power button and the Vol- fell apart, and i lost the magnet inside, so i have to wait till i get a new cable untill i can test further...
Can take up to 2 weeks till i get one, getting something like that in austria is a very long story, i can only order it from Germany or somewhere else and that takes minimum 2 days or more.
The rubber band trick havent worked for me also.
Phone just Vibrated and restarted,vibrated and restarted,..
And my phone was alwas in Flashmode!
The Left Cable is for Buttons and Display, just unplug it from the mainboard.
Then try to Load it, if the LED stops switching, it could be the Reason.
and test if anything happens when the battery is plugged out, could be that your battery is also dead an thats why it cant get charged.

My cell when plugged into the charger would first go Red for 5 minutes than change to Green for 1 minute than no light for about 3 minutes than back to Red again.
Sounds like mine!!
Have u Dissassembled it yet and tried without battery/Buttons?

Some little news.. the new Cable with Buttons have arrived today, i installed it quickly, but it seems the phone havent changed it thougts abot starting...
When i just press the Power Button without USB cable plugged in, the Red led flashes 2 times.
If i push the power button and plugg it in for some time, it is a stable red light but the switching to green led and then red led starts again..
actually i plugged it in with pressed power button, LED stayed red for about 1h now.
now it switched to green, the phone vibrates, then the green led shows up for some secounds, then the LED dissapear, it vibrates again and then again green LED with no Display, it does this some minutes, than its again a stable red, for some minutes.
I let the rubber band all the time on the power button.
I tryed now to Flash the phone but i cant even get into Flashmode..
Without battery connected, i plugged in to the pc, it starts now to the Sony logo, but switches permanently between Flashmode and Sony logo.... WTF!!

I'm sorry to hear the new parts didn't help Doesn't make sense! I was hoping your new parts would have solved the problem. It's doing the same thing as mine...except I can't get to the Sony Logo.
Maybe drain the battery and try again...also what happens when you disconnect the battery and plug it into the computer or charger and plug the battery back in right away while still connected.

Now i havent done anything with the phone for some time..
If i had connected the battery while starting without battery, it goes the same way. Green led, red led, green led...
But now i buyed another phone with bricked display, i put the mainboard from this into the first one i bought and tryed to start with the battery i bought, result: doesnt work!!!
Red led goes on when connecting to charger but after 10 min it disapears and nothing happens, i can soft and hard reset the phone, but it wont start at all!!
then i tried the battery from the Display bricked phone and it goes very well
so my theory is, that the battery that i bought ist just dead, i hope i can have a refund for it...
I could try the good battery with the "dead" mainboard, but for now im happy, that i have one T running.
Maybe i could get my hands on another T, then i would try it again.
Just as side note, the "dead" battery, had 2,7v as i got it and has 3,2v after charging for an ! week ! with the "dead" mainboard.
I havent looked at the "good" battery, but i have looked at an battery from an "J" that was fully drained, it showed 3,4v
T battery is marked as 4,2v and J battery is marked also as 4.2v, so my conclusion is that the new battery i bought was a faulty one!!

Thanks a lot for your input. That's great after all you tried you finally have a working phone. I'm going to purchase a new battery and see what happens. It's a bit strange I had no signs of a weak battery. My battery lasted fine from day to day use? Defiantly worth a try. Thanks

After i recognized that my speaker has made some crazy noizes under calls i dissasembled it again and tryed the other mainboard.
It was really just the battery, the other mainboard now runs totally smooth!
Hope you can fix yours to!
