Hey guys,
Over a year ago the screen on my Z1 broke. It wasn't until two weeks ago that finally bought a new screen. The phone has been powered off for over a year. Once I installed the new screen and tried to power it back on I got no response. Just a constant red light led. I have left it charging over night on a number of occasions and nothing! Holding down the power button does nothing, holding the power + volume makes the red light flash twice, with no vibrations.
Any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated!
Leave it charging, it will eventually turn on. Happened to me too, it took hours and hours
Edit, oh I saw you tried, no idea sorry mate

Try flashing the frameware using flashtool

If that doesn't work try to connect MicroUSB and magnetic charger together at the same time to force-charge the battery.
You can magnetic cable from the dock if you have it, just open it and remove the cable.

So I finally picked up my nexus 7 from best buy. Got home started to power it up and it died before I was able to input my info. So I plugged it into the charger and I cannot power it up. I occasionally get to the Google animation but it turns off shortly after. I've left it charging for 30 min and still nothing. Has anyone run into similar issues?? Please all advice welcome
Normally, there should be at least a third of the full power left.
But in any case, just leave it charging for a while.
For a few times I had problem powering up (not because of no power), I had to keep it plug in and keep holding the power button on for a few seconds and then let go and try again... I had to do this a few times..... It is a matter of trial and error.

You just bought it?
Take it back, and demand a new one. It's not you fault it's not turning on.

Pissed off!! So I left charging over night and in fact I just got home and its still not booting up at all! How can I have this bad of a did!?!? I just picked it yesterday and haven't even had it for 24 hrs. I headed to best buy and what's even worse is I know they don't have any in stock. To make things worse I'm going on vacation for a month in a week and I doubt I'll have one by then. Pretty disappointed at this point!
Hello all!
it is 3 days now.. i have read all the forum but all the things i have read did not solve my issue.
my phone just keeps on showing the red led light when i plug it to the wall charger and also into the computer usb.
i have tried the following with the following results:
1) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power for one vibration (with wall charger connected) and each time the phone vibrates, led switches of the then reswitches on red
2) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power (long hold 3 vibrations) and i get the same result as 1
3) tried to long press VOL- and Power as suggested on the sony forum for 8 seconds, leave it to charge for a few hours and then press VOL+ and Power but nothing changes.
When the phone is not attached to the wall and i try to start it i can hear it vibrate one but nothing else happens.
When i try to connect it to PC Companion to format it i just can't get the pc to recognize it.
Any help please?
I really need to resolve this as soon as i can because it is my main phone
Thanks
Keep your phone on the charger for at least 24 hours WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!
After that use flashtool to flash a new ftf

just tried a 28hour without interruption recharge.. i had the red led on all the time but the phone doesn't yet want to switch on.
i have tried removing the battery.. putting it in.. normal switching on.. just vibrates and nothing is seen on screen
also tried to volume up + power till it vibrates but nothing.
cannot connect to the pc btw.. it doesn't seem to see any new device attached
anyway
It can be battery or hardware problem so I would suggest you to take it to warranty service center.
Water damage...
Happens.
Dry your phone.
Inside.
How can you take the battery out???? You have a c6603 yeah??? Virtually impossible to take the the battery out!!! either take it to sony repair centre ,flash with flashtool,repair using either sus or pc companion!! Failing that,don't bother to try to mod ur phone because you obviously have no idea Mate!!
It's quite easy to take out your battery...
All you need is a hairdryer. aim it at the backglass for a while and it'll let loose without to much trouble. It can cost you your water proofness and definitely your warranty though. So I would never advice someone to do it.

ok since i was tired of not getting no where with all the suggestions i received i then moved towards another method..
i so opened the phone.. took off the battery.. solder wired it to an external power charger i have and charged both on my batteries to full.. (old battery and new one)
i then placed the battery in phone and:
when i power the device it vibrates and screen remains black with no red led
when i volume up + power the devices the stay stays black but the red led magically appears..
what can i do now? knowing that the battery is FULL and that the problem should not be that anymore
Remove battery again so your phone is definitely off, re-insert your battery (don't turn it on) and connect to your pc in fastboot mode. Flash stock kernel and try to boot. If that doesn't work shut your phone down again, and than just flash firmware using flashtool.

I hate making new threads but I just had to:
Okay so first my problem:is that the phone is dead. I used it till it drained and now it refuses to start. The red light comes on but battery does not seem to charge fast enough and once it acquires the minimal charge, it spontaneously reboots and wastes that battery. Then I am back to square one. This keeps on happening. It has become really annoying.
I have read many threads. Actually I spent the last two hours or so trying various things. So if someone can tell me a solution, it would be great!
Any help is appreciated because I am helpless right now.
The first thing to do/try is to charge it for at least 24hs without touching it, just let it charge. Then try to turn it on.

I tried. It charges a little and it turns itself on and burns out the charge. But I fixed it! After a lot of time!
Thank you for your interest. I will hit thanks later since I am on my limit.

I've got this exact problem and I've tried all the 'fixes' google has to offer and none work. When I plug it in to charge no light comes on the only way to get it to charge is to hold VOL UP while pressing the Power button. You then have to hold the power button down to keep the charging light lit. However, once it has enough juice to boot it does just that (because the power button is held I guess) It boots all the way into Android and then shuts down because it does not have enough power (and isn't detecting the USB power).
How did you fix yours?
EDIT: FYI My Xperia T has not been rooted and is running the latest official firmware 4.3.
Charge for at least 24hrs with the original wall charger

OK I've tried that and it's still not charging (no red light). The battery is definitely flat as I get no lights at all when pressing the power button without it being connected to power. I can only get the power light to come on by holding the power button. It's been sat here connected to the charger for 2 hours. Going to try the rubber band trick again (holding the power button down).
2 hours charging is definitely not long enough. Just let it charge for 24 hours and don't mess with it in the mean time.

OK I got the usual power up and instant power down because of low power. However I've banded the power button and the Vol Up buttons and it appears to be accepting charge without starting the phone. I'm going to leave it charge overnight hopefully it wont continuously boot cycle... Balls as I wrote this it had been charging for the longest time yet (about 40 mins) still not enough to get ti to boot android without instantly shutting down

It did charge for 24Hours no change, so then I tried (as advised elsewhere) to charge it again this time I waited 2 hours expecting the red light to come on but nothing...
The advice was charge for 24hours - no light shows as the battery is now discharging. The battery was totally flat this afternoon (no blinking lights when pressing power). Then disconnect the power and try and charge it, it should now show it's charging but it never did, maybe I should have waited longer.

OK the final 'fix' I found while googling this was to take the back off and disconnect the battery. This seems to have worked immediately my phone showed a red light and then booted up showing the battery charging symbol on screen - a welcome sight!

You might wanna try another usb cable or another charger. Just in case one of them is broken. I had that a while ago and discovered that it was my cable. Good luck,
I sometimes have the same issue. I wake up in the morning just to find out that my HTC one hasn't charged although the charger is connected and the led is red.
Try this:
Try resetting the charging mode like this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
re
sry guzzz ....nothing is working ...only red blinking light and after sometime a fade light battery icon comes n light becomes solid but it don't turn on thn......and after sometime blinking start again.....
Actually you phone's battery went down to the lowest level. You need to charge it for more than 4hrs.
When my ph switches off due to low battery and stays off for long time, then when i plugs charger, red led starts blinking for some time. After that it goes solid

So, do 1 thing. Take a transparent plastic box and pour rice in it and put ur phone in that box in that way so that your phone is covered by rice from all sides. Close the box from the top tightly.
Stay the phone in it for overnight. Next morning, take out your phone and plug the charger and check.
Actually, i read on gsmarena that water damaged phone can easily restore with the help of rice because rice soaks the water from phone.

Or put Rice in a plastic bag with Phone and seal the bag works too

Here's how I fixed my phone with the same issue after I left mine outside in the rain. I tried this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
No luck here. So finally I did this.
1. Took back cover off very carefully.
2. Unscrew battery screws from motherboard. There's only 2
3.. cleaned all connectors from battery.
4. Screwed it back together.
Now my battery charges correctly.
Recalibrated battery. So far all is good.

It seems that my z1 has just given up on life.
I was checking my gmail and the phone switched off. It wouldn't switch on so I tried vol-up and power, it vibrated but did nothing.
Now absolutely nothing will make it show any signs of life, it seems to be completely dead which is weird. No LEDs or vibrations at all, so I guess I'll be returning it :crying:
Dude you ran out of battery. Try to recharge it.

I was on 80%! Strangely enough however, the vibration is back when I press vol-up and power. Still no display though.

That's odd... Well sent it to Sony.
Guess I'm gonna have to
Even mine was dead for sometime today
Even my phone gave me a shock today... Screen switched off and the phone was not responding.... had to reset it through the sim tray!
I get 3 vibrations when holding the reset button next to the SIM tray, but nothing else.
Strange. Vol down and power would reset the phone?

I had the same issue your having with my rooted Samsung s4. I couldn't get anything. Bought secondary battery... Son took into verizon came on briefly. My programming USB cable rusted out, had to buy a new jib. That didn't work. I just persevered, I found life when I put in the battery and started hitting the power button repeatedly, 15-20 times
Finally it would turn on, used the jib got it into download mode and flashed the ROM with odin again. Still had some issues so I did a reset then re flashed again, re rooted and started loading programs.
Still not sure if it was/is the power button or system change I made with exposed or other such toolت.
Also now using button savior as a preventative measure. As an added bonus I have 3 batteries and a stand alone battery charger.
Please update your thread as status changes. Hope you get it working.

my z1 2 hours ago had died, I solved by connecting it to flashtool with the volume down pressed. I have version .157
I would think faulty battery, had same issue with old s2
No idea what the problem could be, perhaps moisture got into the headphone jack or something and made its way into the phone.
As I said, when I help vol+ and power it would vibrate 3 times to indicate power off however it would show no signs of life when turning it on.
Flashtool wouldn't recognise it nor would PC Companion.
I sent it away to Sony to repair last week - it's currently still with the technician. I'll update the thread as the repair progresses to let you know the outcome! Hopefully it will be a manufacturing error and I won't have to pay for a repair.
I recognize this problem in a slightly different form.
When my battery is completely dead and I try to charge it and turn it on it won't. It gives me the same three vibrations. I let it charge on the fast charger the whole night. Nothing. (0% charge, light stays red all night long.)
Then I reset it (red dot next to SIMtray) (which does nothing, no vibrations) but it works if not connected to the charger (it only vibrates then)
After reset I try to charge it and it goes automatically on but when it goes on it stops charging after splash screen and turns off and stops charging.
Then it's just trial and error. Reset, no reset, manual turn on, turn off, reset with USB connected, without and eventually it charges and I can turn it on.
After that it works fine.
