I was just listening to music from TF3D and all of a sudden the screen turned off, music stopped, and the power button at the top was glowing red for a few seconds. I tried turning it back on, removing and reinserting the battery, but nothing happens. I can't turn it back on at all!
One thing I do notice is if I remove the battery, and plug in the usb cable connected to my computer, the power button glows red, but I can't turn it on. If I insert the battery, and then plug in the USB, the button doesn't glow red.
How would I recover the phone?

Try charging your phone for about an hour. The red light under the power button happened to me when i had used up all of my juice.
yeah i had the same problem and i had been very frightened of it...
just charge it...
Ah ok. Weird! Because when I was listening to music I had just taken it off the charger and it said 90% battery! And I had only listened to one song. I guess the battery meter was telling me false info =(
Thanks all
well maybe your battery was still kinda "new" so it wasnt showing correct data
a red light?
cool ... is this a phone or a light-generator?
it was the first pda with making so much noises by optical... but is good ...
Can anyone explain me how is the red light under the power button? The light doesn't come out from the illumination light, does it? I wanna see how is the light. Screenshot will be better.
It doesnt come out form the illumination light. It's by the power button. Usually it blinks when your battery is at 5% or close to total drained.
It´s a light that´s gives you battery error. I spent 2 days trying to figure it out because my phone wasn´t turning on and the red light was continuissly showin off, at the end it was because of a cheap wall charger (5V and 500ma, when SE uses 5v with 700ma) I just charged with SE wall charger and everything went back to normal.
In your case maybe one of you battery cells broke and that´s why it´s was at 90% giving you that hateful red light.
Here is a post conserning your problem:

i think the battery is low quality fake..
i found out that the fasted way to charge your empty battery is:
1. remove your battery
2. insert you mini usb charger (NOT usb>mini-usb from your computer)
3. watch if the red light is on. (underneath your power button)
4. insert your battery.
5. after 5/10 minutes your X1 is working again.
you can do it by just plugging your charger on when it's empty but then it can take up to 2 days (YES, i have experienced it) to make your X1 working again.
another way is, just plug the wall charger to your x1 then leave it there. the x1 do not wake up that quick because the charge voltage goes up grandually/slowly for protect your battery and phone after the battery voltage same as charge voltage, then it can be charge normally*
Thank god that I read this topic yesterday. Otherwise I would have pissed my trousers because I had the same light today.
Hi all, i do realise there's quite a few threads already covering the red light issue. However, my case seems to be different. Normally, what happens is that the phone turns on a red light under the power button if your battery does not hold enough charge to actually make use of the mini-usb port in order to charge your battery, so you get stuck without power.
In my case though, i have a second (fully working) X1 with a fully charged battery which i tried using on the X1 with the red light problem. Still the same, the phone wont turn on at all. The red light only comes up when i plug the wall charger or the usb cable.
The phone actually belongs to a friend, he mentioned that there was a powercut at his place while he had the phone connected to a stereo through the 3.5mm audio port. After that, it wouldnt turn on again.
Any help/suggestion(s) will be greatly appreciated. I know how to completely disassemble the phone, but i've no idea about the electrical system. Maybe someone could help me out here?
I have the same problem , swapped the battery with one from an X10 and the X10 powered up with my battery but my X1 didn't
Any advice ?
Anyone ?

Did you had any weird readings with your battery, somehting like -30c temp or anything like that?If so try to tap during charging the point where the battery connector is(on the back of your phone).
I think you should keep charging until it can boot
Hi guys my xsp has gone to sleep since 2 days ago. it had low battery percentage and it was in my bag. i just pick that and tried to turn it on. nothing happened. i thought it is out of charge and I plugged it in for many hours but i didn't see any signs of charging ( led or turning on. red led turns on after some minutes and turns off again) and when i removed the charger and tried to turn it on the red led blinked for 2 times for each power button pressing and no signs of turning on! i tried both yellow button in the back and volume up + power and also setting in charge for long hours. no changes! plz help
you can see video from this link https://files.fm/u/47qk6fxj
you can try jumpstarting your battery (requires a bit of disassembly), and if it still doesnt take a charge the battery protection IC (it should be part of the battery, it usually is) is bad, and you will need to replace battery.
good luck
Hello, two weeks ago my phone all of a sudden turned off and I can't turn it back on.
The only reaction I can get from it now is notification light turning on (instead of blinking) when charging. Also, when I use any vol + power combination when charging, the notification light blinks once and then goes back on. No vibration, no nothing. I tried charging it for a whole day with original charger (tried two xiaomi chargers).
I managed to tear down the phone, and plug off a battery from a motherboard. When I plug in a charger, with battery plugged off, the phone reacts exactly the same (no vibration, no screen activity, only notification led).
So my question is: could it be that the battery alone is faulty, or could it be something else? I will highly appreciate any help!
