Hey. I got problem with my Xperia X8. I cant turn it on. When I press power/lock button, red light turns on and off 3 times. I already changed motherboard for a new one but it didnt help. I think its battery problem but Im not sure. Also, when i connect it to PC, red light turns on every 3-4 second. I dont know what it means. Any solutions? Seus and SE PC Companion wont see my phone. Thanks.
i think its battery dead :/
You can try it to put into flash mode, connect to USB and press and hold back button until the green led turns on, if it can get into flash mode i think motherboard is not the problem, also try geting in a new battery. If neither od that works, than it's some hardware failure.
At least you can try that, I don't know.

Well, Getting into a flash mode dont work. Also I took battery from Xperia X10 mini pro and I tried to connect it. My phone vibrates after pressing power button. Nothing happens after this. Also I tried holding back button with this battery.
If ur battery is fully charged,and then also its not opening up..then it seem some problem is there with battery itself..

Hmm...I don't know, try with the X8 battery, if it doesn't work, then go to official service.
If you rooted your mobile phone then you're f***ed up, because your waranty will be void.
If you can not go to flash mode and get your phone back to original unrooted software, you will have to pay the service.

use seus selct phone dont plug the usb yet hold the back key hold still then plug the usb a green light should appear then seus will download your stock rom which is android 2.1 eclair.
Hey, Yesterday I managed to turn my phone into a Flash mode, so I installed 2.1 firmware with SE PC Companion, but still my phone wont turn on ;/
If you are 100% sure that you installed stock firmware from SEUS, than you have your waranty back ( if you have it still ) and go to your official service to repair your phone. Yet, if your waranty has expired than pay te service.
i had the same problem a week or two ago, i was tethering with barnacle, and suddenly my connection was lost (my phone was charging in my laptop)...
when i checked my xperia (i was downloading stuff so i was tethering for something like 4-5 hours) the device was very hot and with the same probles previouly described (blinking in red, not turning on, etc)....
i was very scared, waited for a while until the temperature was cooler and the i plugged to the wall for an hour or so... without an answer, suddenly the charge icon appeared (phone turned off)... and it got in perfect shape again...
the other day i was using barnacle again and i looked at the phone (charging with my laptop again) and i discovered that it was again draining even when charging so i decided to charge in the wall and it was ok...
Charging with a wall charger dont work. Tried many things. Now only changing battery can help me. If not, I will need to leave it in service so they could repair it...
Okay, so I made a small step. I managed to charge battery so now everytime I want to turn on battery, my phone vibrates and while its vibrating for half of second there is green light. After this nothing happens. I can change firmware without any difficulty, but its not helping. Tried with SEUS, SE PC Companion and Flashtool. What to do now?
Well,i think its the battery thats screwed up IMO .does the battery look a little bit fatter by any chance

thanks in advance, I NEED HELP FAST, FAST, FAST!!!!!!
Download the Sony update tool click update phone it might say you have the latest version ,click restore phone
Aside from what suggested by juDGEY2k10 above (which should work), did you also check if your charger is working properly?
Try charging it with different usb source (...or another Z's charger if you can find one) with stable and reliable output (~ 1,500mA), let it charged for half an hour then see if you can turn on your phone. Please be reminder that the usb ports of some laptops may fail to charge since their power output may not be stable and sufficient enough.
Sounds very much like what happened with my first Nexus 4. Odds are the battery has decided to completely discharge itself to the point where nothing can revive it. How it happened for you, I've no clue, but the only remedy that can work is simply sending it in for replacement/repair, since you've already tried everything else.
i suggest changing another power source or charger. It does look like its out of juice and not able to to power on.
Maybe use your computer USB with the different cables to single out the problem.
do note that the phone needs about 5% battery to power up. So give it some time, maybe 30 mins to 45 mins and try to power it on again.

Hi guys, I got an Xperia Z of one of my friends to try to boot it up, same boat as OP, black screen, red led, not recognized by pc (no fastboot, no adb shell, no FlashTool).
I tryed to charge also with my Motorola USB cable, no way.
Can we only send back to official assistance?
Try to dissconnect the batery then reconnect it, put it on charge and after a few minutes try to turn it on.
I hope it helps.
One thing to check: does the led come on when plugged in, then disappear when unplugged? If so its probably that the battery isnt charging. If the led stays on (red or other color) for some time after unplugging than it may be something else, the phone is holding power but not booting.
Youve tried hard resetting /shutting down I presume?
This is why I hate phones with sealed batteries, it was almost a dealbreaker in buying this but i gave it a go.
If its the battery and you dont have warranty or insurance (or its too expensive) you can replace it yourself with a little time and research.
I have the same issue, it's because the battery isn't able to hold a charge. This happened to me the day after the recent 4.2 update, I have yet to figure out how to get a warranty replacement as there are no sony stores where I live. However, it turned on briefly when I pressed the volume up and power button together. I saw that the battery was at 1%, I put it on standby to conserve battery but it just won't take a charge.
Same issue here with a family members phone, they want to give it to a friend but can't yet because it isn't working.
They got a new phone and left the Z just sitting on a desk. It eventually discharged but now they can't get it going.
I'm trying to fix it for them.
Red LED, no boot, connect to charger and just get a solid red LED. See how it goes I guess. Can't get it to show up when connecting to PC at this stage. Will try with the official Sony tool though.

HI,any update???
I have the same issue too...
I read.somewhere in other thread that putting in the usb then press the volume and volume up for 8 swcond, wait for an hour then try restarting.would work.
This had happen to me twice already, and the only remedy seems sending it to sony. Where they would charge it. But it took weeks though.

Did you go to a Sony store or service provider retail store?
am really sorry if this was a repeated question, but am stuck in sony logo and i cant close the phone to make it charge, battery is dead, it closes it self for 5 minutes to charge then it opens back to the sony logo and stucks there till it consumes the battery then loops.
dont know what to do, i've searched here a lot with no accurate answer
i've tried (Power+vol-up) it closes then it automatically turns itself back on
its not even recognized by the flashtool and the PC companion
any help guys will be really appreciated
please any help guys, its really heating up like crazy
I've totally lost the the battery, it loops at the sony logo then totally off in less than a minute with red lid, then back on in the sony logo with lower red lid then off then on... etc
power + vol up for more than 20 sec does nothing, no vibrations, nothing at all
power + vol down does notheing
power + vol up and down for more than 20 sec does nothing as well
flashtool and PC companion are not recognizing it, while i just used the flash tool yesterday, same latest version with the same PC
i think its dead right now
if just anyone replied by telling me how to shut it down while keeps it charging, I could have prevented it from this endless loops and saved it
thanks guys for not helping at all, i had the feeling that am in a desert talking to myself here
anyway after like 10 hours of digging and digging i managed to fix it
if anyone has the same problem please follow this awesome guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250
one small comment: even the battery is dead the flashtool could detect your XZ, i think it reads the main ship with no power needed, just don't lose hope (I've tried to enter the flash mood like 20 times) and finally it worked, flashed my stock .67 tft then i got all physical indicators back (Lids, Vibrations, buttons are functioning) and it couldn't start as there were no battery at all, it gave me the battery icon and after like 5 minutes of charging it woke up

i think it wont charge as it can't reach the kernel, you have to find a dock charger then plug your device in till the green notification light is on, which means u've reached 90% of battery charge.
the dock charger is the solution for this man, the wall charger won't be able to pass the kernel to charge the battery
then please follow the guide again after your XZ is charged up
My xperia SP doesn't start but problem came when it vibrated suddenly 2-3 times and went off Unfortunately it never came back on ,doesn't charge ,doesn't get recognized by PC ,PC,and us or even flashtool
I also tried shutting it down by pressing yellow button on the back ,it did not work
I have left it to wall charger whole night and removed it now ,same problem but when connected to PC it is giving some sound and when removed it gives different sound (like the sound that comes when drivers are being installed)
i have kept my device connected to wall charger for about 5-6 hrs and now removed it ,kept it for the whole night ,still nothing
(unlocked bootloader, leaked 4.3 rom,battery while it shut down- around 20% )

For your information, my xperia died, he doesn't boot anymore, if I plug in the powercable he don't charge, he boot but falls out directly after, so he is stuch booting. downgraded it to kitkat but still does the same problem (If I connect with USB I can still flash a rom with sony flashtool)
