Hi there,
I have a special question to my G4 witch i do not get in operation anymore: The Problem is, that the device does not turn on, independent any keys. Either the ON-Button, Soft-Reset, Hard-Reset i do not get any of the "normal" screens. The display does not light.
Additional, the red power-charge-LED does not light when i plug in the USB-poer-supply. The same, if i disassemble the battery and plug the G4 to the power-supply...
The device has not been used for a couple of months. The last action a Upgrade to WM6.5 that worked definitively fine for a while.
Has anybody an idea? Or happend before?
Thanks in advance
Ernie
i think it`s easy
hey .. i doubt you have a problem with your g4 phone, i think you have a problem with the battery. since you left the batter inside the phone for alot of months and you didn`t use it, i think the battery is super dead, so dead, that the g4 cant power off and go to charge mode. 1 : you could try letting it charge more, like .. 1 hr plugged in , orrr , you could find an universal charger, which charges the battery by touching it`s + and - with it`s pins and putting electricity in it. (sorry for the bad explanation but i`m from romania). I think one of them two should work, if you know some other friend who has a working g4 just try with his battery. Good luck ! ^_^
Thanks for your reply.
But it happens without (!) the battery: If disassemble the battery and connect afterwards the power cable, the red LED does not flash, and no key has a function. As Soft-Reset "switch" and Hard-Reset (2-button on the left plus Soft-Reset-Switch)
First i mentioned the same as you thought...
Has anybody an idea what can be done here?
Thanks in advance.

I'm encountering this same problem. I let the device charge over night with no luck. It will not power on at all. The battery was working fine last week. its completely dead
My Universal turn on the red LED for a seconds and after that do not charge and do not turn on. Have you find any solutions?
Thanks
exactly the same problem here on touch 3g
i got my touch 3g in Jan 2009 in Shanghai,China. Now i'm in singapore.... it's bricked, i didn't do anything wrong, it's not dropped on the ground or into the water, yesterday it was fine, but this morning i just found that it's power off. plugging in the power cable , and i won't see the orange power led. it's completely dead, soft reset and hard reset can not be initiated, because it refuses to power on.
i'm going to htc care center at harbourFront next weekend ...

You’re in the wrong section this is the Wizard forum.
I use a universal charger. Its one which takes the battery not one which plugs into the phone ...
whenever I let my phone run flat I leave the battery in the charger for a couple of hours then put it back in the phone and connect the phone charger. Once there are enough electrons whizzing around in the battery there's enough power to drive the IC that manages the charging in the phone ...
if the battery is too flat it won't even open the gates for you ...
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?

I guess its the same but charging it via the usb will take more time to get it alive again
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 dont know what was wrong but phone now works like a charm. I dont have that phone but my friend does and it didn't happened again
I got same problem and tried charging my phone but it didn't work. Please suggest me what else I can do.
Not sure if this did the trick, but after I had the battery out for about 5 minutes, it started after inserting back.

The Galaxy tab usually can not be charged via USB ports due to too low voltage.
Try plugging your GT into the outlet and charging it.
(and yes no charging status lights are very annoying)
Had the same
I had the same problem about a week ago. We had storm and the power went out. My Tab somehow list voltage and went into deep sleep mode. So in the morning when I went to trun it on, it woulndt and I had to connect it to my PC to make it wake up.

Did you try to hold the power button longer then 10 seconds?
fixed (temporary??)
I was able to get it to work again...i visited the samsung website and it told me to charge it for one hour...and then unplug it and then hold the power for 15 seconds...but the same thing happened again after a couple hours of using...the same process works but i think i might send it in to samsung to fix
Hey, my GT10.1 is also behaving the same way. I am not sure what happened but now no matter which wall charger I use, it will not charge my GT10.1.
Even though it does not show the charging indication on the screen, I let it charge overnight. Now I try to turn it on with holding the power button down for like 30 seconds to 1 minute.. still no luck.
It seems like it has no battery and the charger would not charge.
What do I do now.. is there a way to force it into boot or bootloader or whatever?
Thanks!
Try pushing your thumb on the screen and holding power button for like 10-15 seconds. Happened twice to me and hasn't happened again.

I also have exactly the same problem. Have you got any solution? I tried all combinations. I heard this problem relates to the firmware???? Really hope it is not the hardware. Been stayed blank for 3 days now. HELP.......

Sigh, I guess the only solution is to send it to a samsung service center...
I got my UPS labels done, but before doing so, I would like to go back to Bestbuy (where I got my tablet) and see if I can just get a brand new replacement since I bought just about 2 months ago.
*finger crossed*
i have a friends L9 from T-mobile and i wanted me to try and look at it since he knows i love playing with phones. i got it and i tried to turn it on and see what was going on and nothing. i thought maybe it was the battery so i tried my external charger and charged it till the blue light was on. i put it back in the phone and nothing. i borrowed another l9 battery and still nothing but when i plug it into my pc it makes the noise like it know that something is plugged in. now my question is should i still try to get it to work or just say forget it and send it to the grave. thanks for any input.
Hi I'm really hoping someone can help me. I received a Sony z2 tablet spg521. I was told it was new but it would not power on or charge, and the charge light would sometimes blink red. Well I got the fixed or so I thought by doing a soft reset and then pc companion...sounded simple but spent a couple days trying to be successful. Sometimes my computer would recognize it sometimes it wouldn't.... Any way I finally got it out the blue dont know what the difference was I was just happy it finally worked... I then fully charged...yadayada and used it flawlessly for about a week... It would turn on and off, battery held charge like its supposed to, everything seemed to work.....then I went to power off but hit the restart by mistake....no there is no power again and this time it will not do a soft reboot.....no light ever....computer will not recognize ever....I have been trying off and on for a few days.....among-est my research to try to correct it seems like this is very common....when i shut it off the battery was over 50%..so how can something work fine then just die like this??? Ive seen that sometimes with sony if you disconnect the battery and the reconnect this will work... does anyone know? does anyone have any advice before I take apart this cherry tablet to try the battery thing???
I would really appreciate any insight as I have fixed many of my own problems and for others from advice on this site. Have a wonderful day and thank you!!! :silly:
ok today i tried to use flash-tool that Ive read about on this site....when it asked to plug n device computer recognized it and red light came on, but flash-tool did not recognize it....torn between letting it set and seeing what happens or trying to get the flash-tool to work, I chose the flash-tool...bad mistake when I went to try to reconnect and see if the FT would see it..it was no longer recognized by the computer and no light but computer did say USB device not recognized and not installed correctly.....now I already have the right drives so now Im really confused..tried a couple more times with same results and then once again nothing...no light no soft reset no recognized at all by computer not even not recognize USB....so disappointing loved the tab but this is insane that sony does this as its not user error but sony error and they dont even man-up and try to make it like you dumb or something....will try again..when i calm...
reset the device by pressing power+volume(up or down) for several seconds. It seems like a toasted one, possibly caused by putting magnetic charger on wrong polarity.
Thank you yes Ive tried all kinds of resets I have found...I agree seems fried but I would not know how. I have not used a magnetic charger...only the regular sony one that came with it....
So last few days I have tried off and on again....now computer recognizes by making noise when connected and disconnected but does not show up...PCC does not recognize it.....flashtool says its connected in log but when it asks for it to be plugged in it never leaves the screen telling you how to connect....when I try to connect the charge light comes on for about 4-5 secs then turns off....still no vibrate when try to reset still no light when plugged to a charger.....I want to get another one but I am scared this will happen again....gonna chuck this one as if time is money then I have well exceed the worth in time... I only got this because some time ago a sony z1 came my way and I so love it...i recently upgraded to z3.....i have a lg pad but screen got broke so I got the sony tab....maybe Ill just fix the lg

Mine is kinda toasted and this is how it works. Whenever I have a problem, I have to reset by pressing power + volume up, as soon as I hear three vibrations, I turn it on by pressing power button. Otherwise this tablet will just repeat sony logo and no boot. If you have bought one "NEW" make sure to return or replace it. If you want to enter fastboot mode, repeat the resetting routine and pressing power button to turn on, but also right after that or even simultaneously press volume up to enter fastboot mode with usb cable inserted, or volume down to enter flash mode. either way, your unit is toasted and sony sucks.
Well, I have the same problem, and isn't fun. Just very extreme rare cases it turns on the screen charging the battery, but doesn't turn on sadly
I did a happy boot today after 3-4 months off with several times trying turn it on, and did all the tricks from all treats about SOD
Last weekend I did a full charge from deep red to green light and battery animation on screen at start, but no luck.
I put it back in the box
This weekend I got some visitors, one of them asked about the tab, told him it didn't work and showed to him
Pressed the power button and to my WERY BIG surprise, it vibrate and turned on as nothing was wrong
The battery was only 54% after one week off. it received a update (264) and I installed as normal, turned off and on again as normal and happy I was
