Hey,
Yesterday, as i was putting my phone back into my pocket i failed and it felt down on the street. So I picked it up, hoping my diamond could bear this, but the screen was black. I tried to restart it, but it didn`t worked. i tried to remove the battery and restart - nothing. The screen remains black. Although, it vibrates as usual when i press the power button, but the boot screen don't show off. I tried to connect it via USB to my Pc but no connetion. I don't think the screen is broken, because the backlight is still working, but no bootscreen or everything. I just got it back from repair 2 weeks ago, and till yesterday, everything worked juste fine. I don't know if everyone had already had such a problem or know what to do.
Repair again? I think you can't fix this problem by yourself.

Probably the internal Flex-cable is released. You must open the Diamond, removing the screws and see if the FLEX CABLE below SIM-CARD not this out. Look for a tutorial to learn how to disassemble the diamond. it's your risk. let me know if you need some help to do it.

Hi, recently my extUSB broke down, so I was unable to coonect anything. My friend changed the connector in proffesional way with IR gun. But now Kaiser won´t even boot up, no vibration on startup, only green LED is lit up.
I bought D2, but I am curious if there is any way to fix it.
Thanks in advance
What does your friend say?
What happens if, while holding down the camera button (on the same side as the power button but further down), you press the power button to power it on - do you get a stripy screen? If you do, you can poke the stylus into the reset hole to reset the device out of the bootloader screen. What did the friend have to say about it - personally I'd much rather have a TyTN II which boots and works fine except for a broken USB port (I presume it was working fine before the 'repair'), than one with a shiny new port that won't work at all.
Nothing happens it looks like it is absoluttely dead.
The USB port was faulty, that was reason, why I let it change.
Well, it is strange, but actually I am very satisfied with with D2, even more than with Kaiser...
Well I suppose you could always get an expert to look at it but if its motherboard is damaged (or there's other hardware damage), it may be more expensive to repair than it's worth. You could see what your local HTC people have to say about it.

Or you could sell it in the market section, plenty of people that would like to get a crack at fixing it or use it for parts.
Hi, I just encountered the very same issue. I know I'm ressurecting a very old thread, but I rather do this than creating a new one
I flashed my Kaiser with Android about two months back. Everything was quite stable, no hardware issues. Suddenly, it won't turn on.
When I plug a charger in the extUSB, the orange LED won't show up. And if I try to turn on the phone, the green LED shows up and stays solid. However, the short familiar vibration isn't there and also the screen remains black. Nothing was wrong with the USB port. I tried multiple chargers...

Have you tried to reflash or hard reset?. Also maybe your battery is gone..try another one.
Some things to try

I realise you cant flash if it's not booting but if your battery has sufficient charge remaining (won't work if it's flat) it'd be worth trying a hard reset using the D pad key + stylus in the hole method (can be done at switch on time without needing a full boot).

How do you know that a fault hasn't now developed with it - I wouldn't rule that out at this stage. Have you tried a known good battery that is fully charged in the phone also is it the original charger you are trying (not all chargers with the same plug are compatible)? Are you able to get the bootloader screen to show and if so, what does it display?

No bootloader, no nothing - just black screen (there's not even a hint of backlight). I'll try a different battery today.
I tried using my old AC charger, my colleague's AC charger (for TouchPRO2), USB cable... the orange LED still doesn't come up.
What's the hardreset using Dpad key? I tried holding the power button + camera and also holding the two "context" keys (above explorer and messages buttons) and touching the reset button with the stylus.
I'll see whether a different battery will do the trick.
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions, guys! Much appreciated!

The context key one you mentioned is what I refer to as a D Pad hard reset. The one where you press the power button while already holding down the camera button is how to get into the boot loader - it's all explained in the Kaiser wiki. Sounds like another battery is definitely worth a shot - especially if you only have one (I have 3 for my Kaiser and on some days with heavy GPS use, I need all of them). What happened between it working and not working - what were you installing or doing with it?

I tried another (fully charged) battery from my gf's Kaiser today. No change. When I press the power button, the green LED shows up and stays solid (no blinking/flashing). Screen is black, no short vibration. I tried all sorts of hardresets and also tried to get into the bootloader. No luck.
Also, I took my multimeter and measured voltages on the charger, the battery and the pins in the phone where battery resides. Everything seemed to give a correct voltage. So it's really not a power issue
Thanks for all your help, but I'm afraid I have a total brick in my hand.
My Kaiser
Hi I have a HTC Kaiser I bought the first week it came out and it was f=ine for quite a while but 6 months ago it stopped working. It'll go to bootloader but won't flash. When trying to turn it on it'll go and just get stuck on the splash screen. I figured it was a battery because I'm very hard on my phones but I just got a replacement battery last week and all 3 of my batteries act the same way. I may have been trying to flsh went it went down it was a few months ago so I can't remember.
--- Other things to note
My Kaiser got wet and I had to have the usb port replaced and the dpad replaced. The usb acts fine but the middle dpad button does not work
The charging light will stay orange or green after I unplug the charger
After reading for the last week I think its either bricked or maybe has a bad hardspl on it?!?
Thanks in Advance for any help you guys may give.

Time for it to visit the same phone repair shop (or HTC) again for an assesment/possible repair if economically viable. If it's only recently got wet, you may be able to catch it before corrosion sets in and causes any damage but if it's not dryed out/cleaned quickly, the damage (from the resulting corrosion) will eventually show up (possibly in all the ways you've described).
I had an HD7 that was working. I sold it on ebay and the buyer told me it wasn't working when he received it. He shipped it back and it was broken.
So... now I'm looking to either fix it or sell it to somebody. The phone itself is perfect condition with no scratches. Even has a screen protector.
The issue is that it won't boot up. When you turn it on it just keeps restarting and never gets to the home screen.
I would like to sell it for $150 but if there is a simple fix to the problem I'm willing to try it. I don't know anything about WP7 and I've never done any modding, hacking or whatever it's called.
Any help is much appreciated!
You try a restore?
Plug it in see what happens?
Try this,
Turn the phone off. You might have to pull the battery for a minute.
While holding down both of the volume buttons (up and down) press the power button momemtarily. Continue to to hold the volume buttons until the factory reset screen appears.
Follow the onscreen instructions and you are all set.
Thanks!
That fixed it! Thanks so much for the quick reply. I was about to throw the phone on eBay for $10.
Glad I can help!
Maybe not...
I thought it was fixed. It turns on and I can use it but the battery won't charge. I left it plugged in all night and the battery was still barely charged in the morning. It could be a battery issue but the phone also does weird stuff like rebooting every few minutes while the phone is plugged in to charge.
Did you get that fixed?

I'll take it off your hands...
My Z3 compact is dead. It will not start after I shut it off.
I've loaded it with magnetic charger and USB cable and will not start. No lights and it does not vibrate.
I have tried to connect it to my computer and also printed on the yellow button next to the SIM card without result.
Someone who has experienced something similar?
Important
Weird !
U Didn't Do Anything Wrong ??
It is not rooted or jailbreak and not dropped to the ground. It has been in freshwater.
Today I have send it for service.

I got the exact same problem TWICE a few months ago. I died completly random.
First time I send it to a repair center and they fixed it. Secend time, it came back to life after a few days:S.
I still thought it was weird behavior, so I send it to the repair center and explained very clearly what was my problem.
I think it also came alive the first time and they send it back.
I recomend you to wait a few days and try again. If it comes back to life, claim your warranty and EXPLAIN VERY CLEARLY WHATS WRONG.
Else claim your warranty anyway.
Good luck
I am experiencing exactly this issue. Tried all the usual stuff - reset button, power + Vol-Up, long press, etc. No use. Phone is just dead and refuses to wake up. It is not rooted, didn't drop it, didn't even get it wet. Will take it to the service center soon.
Hello all, something weird happened to my phone today and I would please like some help to get it back working.
So as I was in the ebay application when the phone suddenly froze. I left it for a minute hoping that it will unfreeze but it didn't. So I long pressed the power button in order to do a hard reset. The phone shut down and then its started booting but it got stuck at the Samsung logo with the yellow triangle. I thought that was weird as it never did this before, so I long pressed the power button in order to do another hard reset. But since then, the phone is dead.
It cannot start, when I plug it in the charger the battery icon doesn't show, and I cannot get into recovery or download mode
I have tried removing the battery/simcard/sd card but nothing seemed to work. The phone was running Nightowl's Marshmallow rom.
About a month ago I changed the charging port flex cable with a cheap one off ebay. Could that be the culprit? It seemed to work fine though.
Does this mean the end of the long life of my device or is there any hope of reviving it back?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hello. It is probably a hardware problem. Take it to service center to check the usb micro port, pmc or emmc. Or just leave it alone for some time and try to boot it again.
