Hi all.
My phone seems to be broken. It's almost completely dead. When I press the power button the led blinks red three times. When I connect it to power it blinks red once every other second. Anyone knows what this red blinking means? I'm sure it's a code for something...
I've tried removing sd and sim and also disconnecting and connecting the battery cable with no result. Anything else I could try or is it just a matter of sending it away and being without phone for some weeks?

Battery is completly drained. Charge it about half an hour and should work.
Yeah, I've been pretty scared too when this happened for first time to me. It is really weird behavior. Atleast it is working again.

Yep, you're right. 20 minutes and the phone came alive.
Is it just me or did they completely miss this out in the manual? Could have been worth mentioning if you ask me...

i've had this too... is it ok to charge via a PC or does it have to be directly from the charger?

HELP
my phone can´t charge anyway.... i let it charging in the wall during all the morning and "nothing"... even a minimum led light...
so i connected to the usb in my pc and the led started blinking once in each three seconds...
blink + 1 + 2 + 3sec AND REPEAT
so... i let it in usb for maybe 40 minuts... and.... nothing again... nothing changed and the led continuous to blink at the same way.
so, i tried to plug again in the wall, and no led light, but suddently led blinked this way:
blink / blink / blink + 1 + 2sec and repeat three times so stops, no more lights, and it happend again if i tryied to power on the phone...
and now, nothing happens.... no lights... even i fi try to power on, even if i plug in the wall...
mini pro is dead.
i don´t know what to do
tried pressing home + power buttons for minuts and nothing
tried pressing back button for minuts and nothing
tried to connect to PC companium and nothing, no phone connected
tried using SEUS but it can´t connect to the phone as it has no battery charge
any ideas.... please?
and let me know... is this any issue from the ROM? i just installed CM7Mini V7... it´s the first time i had the battery drained... so i ask... if there is a way to awake my mini, will the same issue happen again ????? I can´t forget the battery draining?????
HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP
3 blinks mean not enough battery energy to boot. Maybe your USB port is just brocken...
Try using FlashTool to flash a stock ROM to see if it works, because with SEUS first you have to connect your phone to be recognised and afteerwards updated or repaired. Maybe FlashTool is the solution...
I have made a post with instructions and links to flash with FlashTool. Just search for
2.1.1.A.0.6 GREEK .ftf
Another possible solution is what guys have mentioned above... To let it charge while it seem dead and it'll be alive in some minutes.

(you probably meant no offline charging)
It really doesn't matter... I have tried almost every single ROM. And dryed the battery completelly, but I was always able to charge it.

I have a same problem now. Even when I have my Xperia Z on charge now , the red LED doesn't light up. I hope this works for me.
Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 and it was working fine until last night. I had put it on charge overnight but when I woke up in the morning, I could see RED LED blinking and the phone will not boot up (re-start).
I have tried many suggestions found on the blog (taking out the batter, putting the phone on charge and then putting back the battery). This has not helped and my phone is till dead.
Any clue/suggestions on how to get this issue resolved?
Thanks!
Would try different charger / charger cable or charging from pc sounds like flat battery more than anything else

sent from a x10i multitouch using a different rom every day
Sounds like a flat battery.
Could be faulty battery/charger. Try different ones.
Sure, will try out your suggestions and use a new battery.
Does any one know what it means when the RED LED flashes for continuously three times when the phone is getting charged via the main (and not USB)?
The red flashing led pattern does not indicate more than something is not working accordingly so there's no way to tell from this exactly what has caused this.
I would try a different charger if possible and if this does not help, bring the phone to the store for a warranty repair. Hope it can be sorted easily and quick.

If you're from SE why are you on freakin XDA?
i found it was my charger that was the problem. i would leave it for ages and never recieve charge but if i shifted the cable or wiggled it a bit the charge would start
red flashing light means its on power but recieving enough charge to switch on i think. like when you try to turn your phone on when the batteery is completely flat
Or simply a dead, malfunctioning battery.
Had one of those battery, and it did that when charged..

Could be a broken USB port. It's a fairly common problem.
I just had the same problem with my X10. I left it charging overnight and now the phone won't turn on. All I get are 3 red lights blinking when I try to turn it on. I already tried a different charger and still no luck. Once when I plugged it into my PC I got it somehow to turn on, the deviced booted up but when it got into the initial screen it turned off
Wasn't the phone supposed to turn on even without the battery? I mean, can't I plug the charger and try to turn on my phone or it will only work with a battery?
I flashed the x10 wildfire HTC port onto my mini just to screw around but when i rebooted and tried to go into xrecovery it didnt work. I tried doing it via x10 flasher and that didnt work also. is there any way of getting this thing back into xrecovery? I have nandroid backups i can refer back to

Another method, you can just hard reset.
When you open the back plate, There's should be a small button next to the camera. You'll need something small to press the button, around 10sec. That should do the hard reset.

im not sure about mini course i own a mini pro...
since mini doesn't have battery, so it will automatically turn off even after your turn it of.
so, okay. im not sure, but open the back plate of your mini, look near the camera, there's should be a small white button, i think its for hard reset.
try pressing it and hold for 5-10seconds. see if it works for you..

I've got tools to take out the x10 mini battery, it isnt difficult for me.
I've tried the guide of seus program (turn off for minutes, plug the usb cable to pc, hold the back button, plug usb cable to the phone) but there is no thing happened affter I hold the back button and plug usb cable to the phone, no green led indicate thats flash mode. im sure that the battery is full because i charge it for hours with my wall charger. and the battery has out for minutes before i tried to flash mode.

2- Take out the x10 mini battery so the phone is surely turn off for minutes
3- Plug the battery in.
4- Plug the cable (come with the phone - sonyericson cable)
5- Hold the back button on my phone
6- Plug the cable to my phone while the back button still pressed
7- Affter five minutes. No thing happened, the green led not appear, the phone only has red blink.
all I can do is charge the phone and see that it automatic turn on and stuck at sonyericson logo.

(you need to do step 5 & 6 as fast as you can so your phone wont switch on)
5- insert the battery,
6- press and hold back button, plugin usb. that should work.
May be the battery isnt enought to begin flash mode because when I hold power button there is nothing happend, im not sure that battery could be charge when I conect to charger. when I conect to charge, the red light blink, affter about five minutes the phone turn it self on and stuck at sonyericson logo. So there is no red blink more, only the logo. So in this case I think that affter charge 5 minutes the phone turn on and no charge any more, and 5 minutes charging is not enough for flash mode. But I have no way for charging my phone.

have you try pressing the hard reset button at the back of the phone?
it should be around next to the camera, white button and very small. need to plress it with pin anything smaller.
If I'm not mistaken, mini does not have hard reset button. Try to find some pictures of disassembled mini and you'll find out that its not a button at all.
The only way to perform hard reset on mini is to hold down both power and Home keys.

This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.
