Charge it for at least 24hs. It should show a red light indicating charging at some point, just let it charge and then try to start it again. The flashing red light indicates that battery is empty.
If it won't start after charging 24h+, then your phone is probably dead. What were you doing to the device when this happened? Flashed anything?
what worked for me on my ion, was draining the battery empty so you just let it rest for a day just showing the red led. then put everything you need on your sd card and charge your battery again. then after a few minutes you should see you led comming back up and then boot up your phone, enter cwm (press a couple of times the volume up button) then first of all you do a factory reset, flash your new rom, don't forget to wipe cache aftwards, just to be sure. i hope this brings your phone back to life..
Well basically I left it on charge all night and it's still on charge now. I did try plug it in to the laptop.
It then prompted to install a driver and did but then jumped straight back out again.
I tried the vol+ & power today and got a vibration and it didn't boot after about 4 hours. So I tried it with the 3 vibrates and still haven't had anything since.
I spoken to sony and they will take it in under warranty but would rather try get it working on my own.
Btw I still have red light no mater what It disappears every so often while it's on charge

Taken from Sony Support.
1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.
When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.
If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.
2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up.
3. Update the phone software using PC Companion, Sony Bridge for Mac or Update service. If no update is available, use Repair mode in PC Companion.
This should fix the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours
1. Plug the charger into the phone, and let it be plugged in for 24 hours. There will be no indication of charging, since the battery is discharging during this step.
2. Disconnect the charger from the phone, and wait for 20 seconds.
3. Plug the charger into the phone again. The battery should now start charging. It may take some time before any indication of charging appears (the battery status LED lights up in red, and shines continuously).
4. Let the phone charge until it’s fully charged. Then follow the instruction to update the phone software in step 3 found in section above.
5. If the phone doesn’t charge, send it for service.
Thanks for that bud it's been on charge all day even now. Iv just checked it and it hasn't changed the led is still shinning red. I'll put my little one to bed then try it again and see what happens.
Sony have said they will send me out a jiffy bag even if I manage to get the phone powered on just incase I want to send it away

Did you keep them down til you got 3 vibrations.?
One vibration is same as power off.
Three vibrations is a soft reset, same as removing battery.

also tried the repair through sony software and as before the phone will be prompted with the noise of something bee plugged in then it'll sound again seconds later to say it has been removed
just getting a bit annoyed with it now :/
I'd leave it on mains charge for full 24 hours again and try tomorrow,
if no luck send it off.

If you really want your phone to work try reininstal your OS, Also if you call your carrier they can give you a replacement, (At least for me they did)

Hello,
I dropped my HTC One to a hard floor today, from height of less than 50cm (20").
The screen was on before the fall, battery was >90%, everything was working. After the fall, the screen was off, led off, nothing happening from any buttons.
I have tried long-pressing powerbutton, powerbutton+volume, no effect.
I have tried charging, no effect. Even the charging led doesnt work.
I also tried powering it on under bright light (?), no effect.
I had my bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and Android Revolution HD rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)
The phone had Nillkin protective case (http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/htcdopod/nillkin-htc-one-m7-hard-protective-case.html). I can see no physical damage on the phone, not even a smallest scratch..
Any ideas, what can I try to get it working, before sending it for repair? (Let's hope it goes for warranty. I really don't think it should die for such a small impact..) All ideas welcome!
*EDIT* My phone was working for a second, but broke again. In repair now.

Hey! I just put it in a charger again, and after a minute I suddenly noticed that the charging led light up! I tried pressing the power button, and it booted to bootloader!
I then went to fastboot -> Reboot, to get it to boot normally..
There was a sudden flash of the HTC logo (boot logo). Lasted less than half a second, then it died again.
Now it seems completely dead again..
Low battery

Shouldn't be. I had it >90% when It first went dead..
Now it's on charger and doesn't show the charging light.
It also was on the charger the whole time, when I last got it to bootloader and when it died again.

I'm having exact same problems except I did not even drop my phone, the screen and phone went dead as I was using it. I've been charging it for hours, no response from any lights or anything. I have tried pushing the buttons to force a reset to no avail. When I plug it into my computer it does not recognize it or even acknowledge that it's there.
Hey, my phone works again!
For the millionth time, I tried to start up my phone. No reaction.
Then I connected it to the charger, and the charging light came up.
I then pressed the power button... And it started! Now it works 100% normally, I have shut it down and rebooted and shaked and tilted and knocked it and removed charger and everything, it just keeps working 100% normally! And the battery was at 99% when I got it started.
I don't think the initial cause could be something (battery?) connected loosely, as it just started working all of sudden, and I cannot easily reproduce the error!?
Well, I'm glad it works now. And I'm glad I chose HTC One over GS4.. Self-repairing cellphones in 2013... What next?
Good, i'm happy that your one works fine!!
Enjoy with this!!

I left my sony xperia z for charge with 11% battery left and when I came back to check the phone was gone. I thought it was switched off
and when I tried turning it back on again, nothing happened. The boot loader is locked and neither the phone has ever been rooted. I've tried charging it for 24 hours nothing happened, I tried the hard reset (power + volume up button) nothing happened. I've also opened its back cover and took out its battery but still nothing happened. Please help. Can I enter the phone via sdk tool kit

You shouldn't have opened the phone.... this voids your warranty.... I hope you glued it back on correctly....
Try to put a rubberband across the device, so that the power button AND vol up are pressed permamently.
If this doesn't work and you can't see that it was opened send it to sony for repair

Hold volume Up while connecting the phone to your pc. When the led turns blue you may get a chance to do some work.

Okay I'll try that but I don't think that's going to work since it's not charging or doing anything. you know. The blue LED is not coming on either. And we dont have sony warranty here in Pakistan, so yeah. Lol! And even connecting the cable with the computer does not help recognize the device.
My method should force your phone to charge

This post is just to show you my experience whit the xperia z sudden death and the only solution who worked for me.
A friend bought an xperia z, and he faced of sudden death, 4 month later. This appear when the phone shuts down whit 0% battery and the phone NEVER wake up, no led, nothing.
- I put the phone on charge 24h/24h ... nothing happen.
- I test all combination of hardware button and I've got a blister on my hand ... nothing happen.
He can't send back in warranty because i root and instal omni rom.
And i don't have 3zx box for perhaps wake up the phone.
My only way is open the phone... when the phone's open i unplug the battery and i wait one hour, after this i connect via usb the phone to my pc (whit the battery unplug!) and miracle the phone boot on bootloader whit the blue led. Then i disconnect the phone to pc, i plug the battery and i connect the phone via usb on my pc and ... the phone boot normally whit red led and stay in charge. He lost waterproof but the phone still alive(since 3 month) without any problem:victory:.
It's a shame, for me this seem's to be a badly planned obsolescence ...
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:

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.
Hello all. My rog 2 phone went completely dead and not able to turn on in any mode. Any help in this will be highly appreciated

Yup.. I hv tried all the above...and also tried connecting to laptop thru USB cable.. but absolutely nothing happening.. it's dead as a Brick
What did you do before
Nothing actually.. went to bed in the night and kept the phone aside.. morning it was off thought battery empty and kept for charging. But even after an hour I noticed it wasnt charging and I cudnt turn it on either..
maybe open back cover and see What happened?
replace battery or What?
or replace Screen?
have you done any system updates or opened auto update?
There was an ott update that day which got auto updated..
Mostly is that OTA hard bricked your device. Your device ran out of battery while installing it.
The mobile had enough battery and the update got fully installed over wifi. After that I hv used the phone too. In the night I went to sleep keeping the phone aside and morning this happened.
Maybe Another OTA came and bricked your device.
My Y9 Prime had recieved 2 updates in a row so I can confirm it is possible.
if that is the case I cannot help you but if it is battery bug（like Note 8 battery drained overnight and battery failed）you can try reconnect the battery or replace it but I am a noob of doing that
Do you have spare phones?
What happens when plugged to computer?
Ohh. 2 OTA updates....
No sound or anything Wen plugged to comp. It's still dead.. tried all combination.
then mostly 2ota bug or battery bug
if screen bug you will hear vibration
Ohh ok.. any solution for this...???
