Hello,
Saturday I went out, my HD2 only had like 5% battery life. I used it till it went black. The day after I wanted to recharge my phone but when I plug the microusb in to the wall charger, no led lights come up. When I press the power nothing happens. Stays black, it's like a dead stone now. I did not flash the phone for the past 2 months, it's running android already a long time now.
This morning when I pull the battery out and put it back in and push the power button then a VERY short vibration comes out of the phone but then nothing anymore the screen and leds stay dark. If I try it a second time nothing happens. So I think the battery is 99.9% empty and I can't charge it anymore through the microUSB. The only thing I can think of what happened is saterday I took a bath and my phone was lying on the edge of the bath, it did not fell in the bath offcourse. But there was alot of humidity in the bathroom because of no ventilation and warm water. The phone was working perfectly after the bath and stayed working untill the battery went to 0% when I was going out. Is my microUSB port water damaged? The stickers inside the phone are still white. (luckily). Anyone has an idea how to fix it or what the problem could be?
Remove the battery.
Connect to the power supply.
After a couple of minutes, plug in the battery (while the phone is still connected to the mains supply).
Ok I tried it.
Took battery out. Connected to usb power cable.
Waited +- 5 minutes. Inserted battery -> nothing happens.
Won't turn on, no led lights.
BUT I noticed a strange thing.
If NOT connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> some milliseconds of vibration.
If connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> nothing, no vibration.
So if it is connected to power cable phone acts completely dead when I reinsert battery and push power button. But if it's not connected then when reinserting the battery and I push the power button then a very short vibration is felt.
Weird ... is there something shortcircuiting the phone when connected to powercable??
Ok,
I found someone on my work who has an HD2 like me. So I tried to put a 70% charged battery in my HD2. Guess what ... same result. A little vibration and it stops .
So now I know it is not the battery. It's the phone itself. I've put it now in a bowl of rice and hope next morning it will be magically revived. Maybe when I took a bath saturday there formed some micro water bubbles inside the phone and it still isn't gone by now? I am out of ideas. If this rice thing doesn't work I'll send it to HTC repair centre. They won't notice my hspl because they can't even turn on the phone with a charged battery. I'll guess they'll swap the mobo .. again. My previous repair was because my HD2 was in a constant Carkit mode (also a hardware issue). Sigh
Can you get into Bootloader Mode (Press and hold the Volume Down button, then tap the Power button)?
Nope, it acts like dead meat, even with a charged battery I could try from my friend his hd2. My battery worked in his phone. So it is my phone who is broken.
Think some hardware is busted ... Maybe some circuit is broken ? I just don't know . Now they must repair it for the second time. The first time I got the "phone is always in carkit modus" issue which is also hardware related. I hope they will not make a problem to give me yet another motherboard and yet another IMEI . That will be my 3rd IMEI on this phone then.
Hope they pick it up tomorrow .
K Update to this post.
I've received my HD2 back from HTC repair with a new motherboard / IMEI.
All is working now again .
I am afraid it can happen again . This is my 3th IMEI / mobo now on this phone after owning it a year and 2 months.
They now also didn't put a new "VOID" sticker on the screw
Also no "water detector" anymore.
It seems like they are saying to me, now if the phone breaks again, you have no warranty anymore. It's not my fault the mobo suddenly dies . I doubt it they just "forgot" to put new void stickers on.
Never take cell phone in the bathroom.. especially if its a touchscreen.. the steam from hot water gets accumulated inside the phone and ruins it. My friend damaged his 2 handsets already.. now he doesnt take it in the bathroom anymore

There are water dector labels inside the phone and if they forgot the VOID label then that is their problem. You have twice returned the phone and by replacing the motherboard they have admitted that the problem is theirs. So they already have a history of faulty phones from you and since it has been repaired by them, then they would need to show a record of placing a viod label back on the phone.

Well I also think that was the cause the phone died later that evening.
I think the phone went dead sometime that night because of the water inside the phone. Luckily the water detection labels where still white .
I never will let it inside the bathroom again .
As for the void sticker problem, I will contact them to ask why they didn't put on new stickers. If they don't respond I saw you can buy such stickers on ebay .
My Mozart has died. Just playing Wordament and it came up with the "Goodbye", as if I was turning it off and that was that, nothing. It won't come on again and it shows no signs of life. When I put the charger in, there's no charging light. I've left the battery out overnight and that made no difference either. Odd that it did a shutdown rather than just went off though... does that indicate anything?
Oh and does anyone have a good contact for HTC support/returns...?
Hi dude
I assume you have "DFRouter" installed on your device?
If so, I don't think your device is dead but you'll need an other battery temporarily. Can you get one (or do you now a friend or smth. owning a Mozart as well)?
Nah, I don't have DFRouter, or any homebrew stuff on it. I had planned to try my friend's battery tomorrow when I see him, but as it happens, it's just come back on. From what I'm reading, I may have a faulty power switch. I guess that explains the shutdown behaviour ("goodbye"), as if the power button was pressed down, and why pressing it some more didn't make it come back on. It seems to be OK at the minute, but I guess it's only going to get worse... :-(

Yous also doesn't charge the battery for a long time ?
Gentleman, my optimus g is showing some really strange behavior. If the battery is fully charged, or above 60%, it works flawless, after it drops below that, there is a chance that the power button will start locking in the pressed down position. After this happens, it is a no come back, the phone keeps bootlooping until the battery goes dry. At first I thought this was a problem with the battery, I got It replaced and the problem persists. I am starting to think this is a problem with the power button flex cable, and I was wandering if anyone knows how to replace it. I've replaced cell phone's screens and such, I have taken the motherboard out and found the flex cable, but I am not sure how to remove it, as it seems that it is firmly glued to the chassis. If anyone could give me some suggestions I would appreciate it, thanks
Hey guys,
Went to use my phone yesterday, never flashed or anything like that, and it just wouldn't respond. When I plug it in the sony logo flickers every 7 seconds and it won't respond to any button combination for rebooting. When it's not plugged in I can't get any sort of response.
Please tell me someone has encountered this before.
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem. Only is that the screen flickers every 0.5 seconds with SE logo.
I downloaded the repair tool but not abLe to process the repair on my phone. Nothing works. Opened the phone, removed the battery plug, tried to power on the phone without the battery plugged-in, nothing. Please help.
Sony repair wont help me. Apparently there is calcium on the magnetic ports or liquid damage in the phone; no liquid damage at all, phone was never put in water and nor any of the white stickers turned red.

Maybe due to corrupt software. Try flashing a new firmware using flashtool.
Hey guys, got some update from a repair center I usually deal with. It seems that the motherboard is dead. According to them, it seems that the battery might have been overheating and might have affect the motherboard. I'm going to try to call the sony mobile tech support and see if a repair mailer could be sent to me and going to keep you posted.
Cheers,
Gabriel
