Suddenly i can't turn on the phone anymore. The battery should be over 90% and the white notification LED is blinking. I can hold teh powerbutton for a long time or just quickly press it...nothing happens. I tried to call, send sms but the phone seems dead even with blinking notification LED. Can't find a reset button, uis there any opton to reboot the phone somehow?
update: found the reset button...

So I had this just last night. I knew about the reset button from my previous Z3c. On the Z3, I was told it was a boot loop from an update error or somthing.
Why does this only seem to happen on Xperia phones?
P.S. My Z3c bricked over a random shutdown, I am a bit disconcerted.

It's the little yellow square next to the sim card slot. If you look carefully, it is labeled "off" with a little arrow. Push and hold till the phone vibrates.

When I start up the phone it blinkes green all the time, and when i press the power button nothing happens, I cant turn it off. Also the screen doesnt turn off itself so its basically on the whole time. How can I fix this?

Try to do a Hard Reset.
its the hd2 clone and I dont know the hard reset combo
i got tried some different combos and i found one that when i press it the screen says caliberating.... and then turns off.
hello greetings, was trying to install clean rom 2.5 and for some reason froze in the aroma installer option "status bar mode". This is the second attempt, the problem is that does not shut down or rebooted just stays on that screen and does nothing and when I hold down the power button the soft keys start to blink but nothing happen . On the first attempt I restart the phone right through adb because I don't know what I do but adb could see my phone but now adb don't want to see it. It's been an hour trying and I get nothing ....
Try rebooting into recovery again by holding the buttons but do it under a bright light. It's weird but it works

Yeah I can vouch for the bright light thing. Hold your phone close to a light bulb and hold down power. It will reboot.
Hello,
I'm posting this for a friend, because his phone is "dead" and he is unable to post himself.
Earlier this year he brought a Galaxy SII from a second-hand phone shop, and it's worked fine up until now. He updated the ROM to the official 4.1.2 and since then it's had issues connecting to his home WiFi (unrelated, but it lead me to suspect the ROM) but it connects everywhere else. Then yesterday his phone just went blank and turned on again - the boot sound played at the touch buttons lit up for a moment and then faded as with a normal boot. But the screen was blank apart from several white spots, and a load of coloured pixels. I saw it myself today, and the colour of the pixels is random, although usually red or green, and the phone gets incredibly hot about a minute after turning on.
Is this a ROM fault, or could there be something more serious to it?
Just a shot in the dark, as I've never owned a Samsung, but could it be the "sudden death" bug that they allegedly have?
Thanks
Does it go to recovery? Factory reset. If not does it go to download mode?

I'm not sure - I think I managed to get it into the bootloader, but there's no way to tell because there is nothing on the screen but the white dots and random pixels. All I did notice was that when I removed the battery and turned it on again even more pixels appeared. We only went by the sound and touch lights, so it appeared to boot, but we don't even know if it switched straight off again

you are not sure ? did you try to go into recovery or download mode ? shutdown the phone first
Recovery = Volume up button + Home button + Power button
Download mode = Volume down button + Home button + Power button
Press vol+and home button and power button till it boots to recovery. Keep them all pressed down till it boots. If not try vol- home and power till it boots to download mode. Has he dropped it?

We tried that, and the touch lights came on but with no boot sound. The screen didn't change, just white dots and pixels, but it was working fine the day before.

Tried both, the screen just did the same thing and the phone got very hot very fast, and he said he hasn't dropped it at all, but that someone in his family may have, he's not totally sure because nobody admitted to using his phone.
Screen is prob broken. Pixels on it..not good. No recovery or download mode..really bad. For it too get really hot really fast may be a mb problem. Send it to service centre

Okay, thank you! He tried calling them and getting a quote, but the guy on the other end didn't seem to know what to do, and the man who owned the shop he brought it from offered to repair it, but for almost double what it cost him to buy the phone.
Thank you!
No problem mate. Get a second hand one. Prob be cheaper to do that now the s4 is out. Mb cost alot.

please remove the battery for like 10 minutes, wait a little bit, then try to go into recovery or download mode,
if that doesn't work, try this:
1.Press the key combination for recovery
2.Samsung logo appears - hold the buttons pressed.
3.Prompt disappears shortly - you still hold the buttons.
4.Samsung logo appears again - hold the buttons still pressed.
5.Count to 3 & let go, dont press the buttons anymore.
After 1 - 2 sec farther the Samsung logo disappears and the recovery starts maybe, i did that on my old i9100

Thank you, but that hasn't had any effect. Still a blank screen with white dots and thousands of coloured pixels. Thank you for all of your help though!
Suddenly my tab is not responding , I tried to press ON/OFF button but the screen does not respond. The screen is blank and nothing comes out. I tried to plug the charger and no respond. I never or change anything since I brought the tab. I tried to google also but I cant find the solution. Is there any solution? My tab cannot turn on and the screen is blank and nothing to appear. It's like my tablet running out the battery but I plug the charger still no respond..

Can you try holding Power button for a about 10 seconds or more, release it and try turning it on again normally?

Usually hapens when you tried to flashboot
Is there any software or commands I could use to diagnose my phone over USB? The screen is black, even during boot (no logos), but the phone is still working in the background. The notification LED blinks normally, menu and back button lights up when pressed, and it even rings when someone calls, though I can't see who it is b/c of the black screen. The screen is not cracked or damaged, and I didn't drop it, so not sure why this is happening. I want to test the GPU or other components before I put down a lot of money for a new screen and it no resolve the issue.
Phone is a rooted SM-N910V that has been working great for 3 months.
Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, though I have already tried all those plus other things.
I've left the battery out for over a day, removed sim card, held power button in to drain any residue power.
I'm lost as to why all of sudden the black screen. Hoping there's a way to test the phone to confirm if its the lcd or something else like the gpu chip. On a laptop you could plug a monitor in the vga port, don't guess phones have this option

I read that the phone was rooted so maybe that custom rom has some bug and that way you get black screen .
Try to flash him back to stock firmware and see if the problem is solved .
It is just rooted on the standard firmware, I didn't install any custom firmwares. But I was wondering if I could possibly reflash it from a backup I made with twrp. I cant get to recovery, well actually I could if I new the exact steps since everything works, I just cant see crap.
Is this even possible or is there another way to access twrp over the usb?
