The Powerbutton on my N1 is broken.
I had to turn it off because it froze, and since I was on vacation, I didn't have a chance to check how to repair it.
Now I red, that when you plug the USB into it, and take out the battery a few times it should boot.
Well that doesn't work for me!
Does anyone have some hints for me?
In my experience it works better with a charger because it gives more power than USB.
tried that....doesn't work
I plug the cable in, the green light comes on.
I pull the battery out,
green light goes off, and Immedeatley i put the battery back in.
Am I doing everything right?
Keep trying. One of my N1's will start up after 2 or 3 cycles, the other one takes 2 or 3 dozen battery removal cycles.
thanks! Problem solved!

Hey, dunno if some one had the same problem but my xperia doesn't take the charge.
Its appened when the mobile has terminated all his battery, and know the charge is not accepted by the phone
help me please
Something perhaps similar happened to me, i ran my battery completely flat and then could not switch the phone on even when it was on the charger. So I left it on the charger for ~1 hour and then it switched on fine! The other possibility is that you battery is dead. Hope this helps!
Its not the first time its appened to me, and the first time i had the problem i try a lot of time to recharge it, take out the battery, replace it etc.. and its worked.
But in 2 days, my phone is off :/
My battery is not dead i know, but how to recharge it
I have 2 computers from which I load it with usb cable. For some reason Mac Pro doesn't load the damn phone but Macbook does.
Try switching your "power" source. And sometimes when the battery goes really flat it needs many hours to even boot when loading up. One time I really thought the damn thing was dead for sure... But it came back to life
When you press the power button there's a red light next to volume buttons indicating it doesn't have enough power yet to boot up. If there's no red light then it's not charging at all.

Just leave if plugged-in and it will charge. It takes some time before it will charge if it is fully drained.
Ok thanks for reply
Have no real solution, but have the red light near to the volume button, or in the top of the phone.
But the phone doesn't take the charge at all...
The red light gave the battery charge, only that... have it sometimes and sometimes havent it...
Help me please
2 day less my phone know..
Ok i dunno why but the phone weak UP !
NICE
Ir was connected to the cpu and i presszs the button and it weak up
omg this phone
(Sort of) got it.
I'm not really an xda developer but id do have an xperia.
The same problem occured to my device about three weeks ago. I've noticed that the phone would still charge in the computer, but not by the power net adapter. (it must be broke i guess)
Today i've locked myself out calling the battery flat. I couldnt get it on anymore. After a lot of hassle this was the solution for me:
1) Connect the phone to a computer. Don't try to turn it on! Leave it there for about 15 minutes.
2) Disconnect the phone and pull out the battery.
3) Hold down the "on" button while inserting the battery back.
-- It should turn on now
4) Release the on button and quickly connect it to your computer again.
Hope this helps.
I just remember the red led lit on at the on/off button and the red light disappeared after 5 mins or so and i left for breakfast while it was still in the charger and by the time im back from breakfast, it turned itself on and was charging up
I have a new Motorola Atrix HD. I was using it and the screen went black. i hit the power button to unlock but nothing happened. i plugged it in but nothing happened. i took the back off to see if the battery was disconnected. I didn't know the battery was different than other phones and ripped the power cord connecting the battery to the phone when i took it out. lesson learned. Ordered a new battery and installed correctly. phone won't turn on. The green charge light blinks when i plug it into the wall and then stays on for about 20 seconds and then the phone tries to turn on but while the motorola icon is illuminated, it cuts back out and repeats the cycle. I left it plugged in for a couple hours and still the same thing. i tried holding in power and volume buttons for the boot screen. if i do that just as the phone attempts to turn on i can get the screen up and scroll the list of boot options with the power buttons but i can't select any of them and the phone cuts out after the same amount of time. Everytime. When i plug it into my laptop, the light blinks on and then stays on like with the wall, but the phone doesn't attempt to power up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have read a lot of forums where the battery was acting up because of the chargers people were using. The difference between my situation and those of the people i read about is that my boot screen cuts out and cannot be used. This all happened 2 days after my exchange period ended and because i took the back off myself, best buy won't have anything to do with me so i'm on my own and cannot afford another phone right now. Thanks in advance for your time and concern.

Is it possible that the that connection between the power cord and the phone itself is loose or damaged? I'm just guessing here as I have never opened up the back of my phone.
I would check your battery terminals then leave it to charge if it does. You could also try a factory cable. Another thing would be to try fastboot while connected to your laptop and see if it stays on, and if it does, try reflashing all partitions.

Hi.
My white Atrix HD is dead. It does not power and does not give any sign of life.
Phone was working perfectly, then it froze and after that it shuted down... never coming back. Was running stock.
First I thought it was the battery, but checking it with a voltmeter it shouws around 4Volts so it's OK for at least power the phone, I also recharged the battery separatly with an external charger...
Phone is still not powering. I tried every key comination to no avail.
If I plug it to my PC with the battery connected the green led appears for a while, then it goes off...
If I connect the phone to my PC with out the battery, then the green led stay lit forever...
What do you think it could be? Battery is dead? (It does supply voltage but you never know...)
Maybe a burned fuse on the motherboard?
Any help pinpointing the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck!
Did you try to replace with other battery ?

Try this. While plugged into a power source, hold all 3 buttons on the right side. Once the light turns off, unplug the phone and hold the power button (top of the 3). Once it gets to the boot animation, you can plug it back in. Or you can just check the battery level and make sure it's not something wrong with the screen by doing what I said but never unplugging it.

Thanks for your reply...
Nothing... It's just dead. I think it might be the battery but first of of all it does give voltage and second i don't have other battery to test it. I could use another's phone battery but don know if that would work.
If ur adventurous enough to open up the phone like u would open up to do the EB40 battery mod, try to disconnect the battery completely by un-screwing the battery from the terminal for 30 seconds. Then connect back and try to power up. What you described happened to me once when I was doing the mod and it worked like a charm.
Good luck!

hey did you get it fixed, my atrix hd has done the same thing to me
Hi
I’m wondering if anybody has any advice regarding my problem. I have looked here and tried what has been suggested.
My stock, never rooted, never flashed, Xperia T (think it was Android 4.3 but can’t now check, the latest Sony rolled out) was working fine until yesterday. I was on a plane and noticed it had 20% battery life left so I plugged it into the onboard USB port. The problem is I think I hay have plugged the cable into the port the work way round – not the connection on the phone, but the actual USB socket. This should be impossible but somebody obviously had broken the port and it turned out the cable could be plugged in both ways! (I don’t know if it was plugged in the wrong way round but is the only thing that could possible explain the sudden death.)
Could this have bricked it? I suddenly couldn’t get a red light to show charging and holding down power on and volume up or down does nothing. I tried charging overnight via a wall socket when I got home but the result is still the same. Just a black screen and no sign of life. I have also tried plugging it into a computer with Sony’s PC Companion but as the phone is not ‘on’, it can’t be found.
Does anybody have any advice where to go from here? I’m more concerned about some recent data from holiday on the phone than the actual handset itself. If the phone is dead, is there any way to read the internal memory?
Thanks
Try this: Unplug the charger, press the power button. The phone won’t power up because there is no charge left in the battery. But press the power button along and while doing so, connect the charger without releasing the button. Now, you will probably see the red light. Please don’t take off your finger from the power button for around 1 to 2 minutes when the red light for charging will glow continuously. If you feel tired holding it, you can try sticking a tape on it in it’s pressed mode. Once you are sure that the phone is now charging the battery again(red light keeps glowing even after the power button is released) kindly wait for 5 to 10 minutes or may be more before you press the power button again to power the phone up. Now the phone will be up and running
If that doesnt work maybe ur battery is dead or usb port broken
Thanks for the advice. I gave that a go after trying a 24h wall charge and not touching it (which did nothing).
So, I held the power down, plugged it in but nothing. I held it down for around 5 minutes both manually and then repeated the process using the rubber band trick to keep the button held down but no red light ever came on. I think I’m going to try a new battery as I genuinely see that I have nothing to lose as I doubt it will be possible for anybody to recovery data given as the phone can’t be switched on so if I break it further I’m in no worse position!
Thanks again for trying to help though!:good:
When I got my xperia t it was in described condition. I also tried everything (rubberband trick and so on) but the only thing working was to open it and pull and put in again the plug of the battery. After that it booted immediately and I got this sleep-of-death-thing nearly every day... Since I soldered the battery as described in this Topic it happens only ~once a week. Good luck!
SOLVED! In preparation for the new battery arriving, I decided to take the back cover off. I unhooked the top battery connector and decided to connect it back up again, just to see if it did anything. Plugged in the charger and a red light came on straight away! I let it charge for a good couple of hours and switched it on – not as easy without the case attached – and it worked. I’m so frustrated with it being such a simple issue as needing to disconnect the battery but even more frustrated with the design that it is meant to be a ‘sealed’ unit with a non-removable battery. I used to often need to disconnect my old Omnia II battery to restart it but that was a simple case of cover off, remove battery, replace battery , put cover back on, not the creaky, back cover fear of cracking exercise of yesterday. Still it’s working now and hopefully life in the old phone yet!

Nice to see that bro!
Hi all, i have a sm-t311 that i have left turned off for at least 6 months, because i buy a new tab. I want to turn it on, but it won't.... I checked something and i can tell you:
Battery is charged. I tried with multimeter, and i get 3.7v, and also connecting a lamp to the battery, the lamp turn on.
battery vontacts seems to be ok. I removed the back cover to check if something is break, but everything seems to be ok.
I just rooted it a lot of time ago, like 2 years ago, and always worked.
I have check battery charging with a milliamps absorber tester, and nothing can charge the battery more. I tried with a powerbank, with original power supply and cable, and pc, i get 0.14 mA for 10 sec, then drop to 0. even unplugging battery and connecting charger i get the same thing, and even pressing the power button (with and without battery inserted).
I tried also unplug every single flat cable to the mainboard except the power button, microsd and display, but nothing happen....
The day i left the tab into the bedside table, was working at 100% of functionality. I don't know what happen now. The only thing i can imagine, is the battery left acid on the backside of the mainboard, and brake some contacts....
What i can do?
