I have 2 years now with my Z2.
I was using it for taking some pictures, i put the phone on my desk and suddenly needed to take another photo, but i notice it wont unlock/turn on/turn off.
I connected it to a wall charger, nothing happened, i pressed the red button by the sim card, nothing happened, no key combo will turn it on, no display, no led, no warm in the back.
Is it dead? I had 78% battery when i took the last picture, phone didn't show any sympthon of failure.
Connect it to a PC to see what is being recognized.
Sent from a concrete forest.

Yesterday, my phone fell (not very hard, onto a carpeted floor). I picked it up and put it in my pocket without looking.. When I went to check my phone, it was off. I tried to turn it on, but it would only go to the HTC screen, then the screen would go black but the home icons would be lit up. I took the battery out and let it sit for a couple of hours. Tried to put it back in and the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I put it on the charger, it turned red for about 5 seconds, turned off, then repeats. If I try to turn the phone on, the LED light blinks a very dim red for 2 seconds then stops. I can't even hold the volume button and the power button, it just blinks the dim red. As far as I know, it is not rooted. I got it second hand about a year ago after my phone got stolen. I have never had any problems with it other than the camera.. It just stopped working eventually. Help?
Anytime you drop the phone, even if it wasn't a hard hit, it can damage something on the main board, which could be your problem. However, since you say the led is very dim red, that is a sign that the battery itself is damaged and won't charge. I would try to get a cheap battery off ebay to see if that's the problem.
You probably damaged some micro vital componants on your motherboard which is preventing your device to function in a normal way.
must be motherboard, or some other chip
I have a M7 that's been running CM 11 for a couple weeks now. Went to bed last night with the phone charging, playing podcasts. When I woke up, the phone is non responsive, won't turn on, only sign of life is a green LED flashing constantly about once a second. The red charging LED won't come on when the phone is plugged into the wall. When plugged into a PC, the PC doesn't recognize that there's anything plugged in.
I've tried power+vol down, and same button combo with a bright light next to the proximity sensor, to no effect. Any help is appreciated.

you ever figure this out ?
you can hold power plus volume up for 20 seconds thats a hard reboot
then try power plus volume down to enter the bootloader
It must have gotten into some kind of hard lock. I let it sit until the battery ran out, charged it up for a few hours, and turned it back on like nothing had happened.
Hi,
Yesterday my phone got under water. Sicnce it is waterproof, it really didn't matter to me, so I just used it normally. Then I noticed that the SD card wasn't working so I took it out and saw it was wet. I then let my phone "dry up" for a couple of hours and the put the SD card back in and it worked perfectly. I used the phone for about 3 hours and went to bed. I did not put it in the charger, and when I woke up the phone wouldn't turn on. I figured it had to be a dead battery, but I got no response when connecting it to te charger(I tried with several chargers). I left it in the charger for 8 hours while I was at school and when I got home, the LED was blinking RED, but it still won't turn on.
When I connect it to the computer, the LED turns RED and the computer makes the "connected" sound. Then the LED turns black and the "disconnect" souns comes. Then it turns RED again and so on..
Is this a water damage? Or may this be caused by my custom ROM? If it is a water damage are there any way to save it? Or do I have to take it to service? Is this a guarantee thing?
Thanks
This isn't the first time this has happened. It seems to always happen when I plug the phone in to be charged. Most of the time I can get it back on with a hard reset using the lock key and volume down key. This has happened once before where I had to plug it into a computer, I did it this time and still, nothing.
Last night I plugged it in, it still had about 40% of a charge, I know It could have lasted the night without charging so I know that even if it didn't charge, there'd still be enough juice to turn it on now. Anyway, after a few minutes on the charge, I went to check it and screen wouldn't turn on, the red charging LED was on indicating it was plugged in... I unplugged it and started to do the force reset to get it back on. LED went off the moment I unplugged it and since then it's been like a dead fish.
I've plugged it into my computer, hard reset with every combo I can think of. Took the sim card and SD cards out, tried to reset again. My computer makes its typical noise when things are plugged into it, so it see's that it's there but nothing is happening.
It could be a hardware issue maybe? I hardly ever drop the phone but maybe a piece of hardware finally gave up inside?
Personally. I think technology should work flawlessly. I hate tech and I'm about ready to take a hammer to this thing. Any other possible ideas?
About two years ago I ran in the rain, and the digitizer malfunctioned(and possibly other things?) It still worked, but it would cut off randomly unless I attached a battery or charger via usb.
Fast forward to today, the telescreen I bought as a replacement broke, so I've been using my old one until I get a new one.
But, now it won't turn on at all. The battery seems like it exploded slightly, as it has bulged. I have removed it.
The same symptoms apply, whether the battery is attached or not. The LED shines red when attached to a charger. If a press and hold the power button for 5 seconds or so, the vibrators buzzes like it normally does when it powers on, but while the screen turns on it remains black, when the Sony and Android logo should have appeared.
It's a Sony Xperia C5.
