Dead Phone with no reason - red led until puling out battery - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I tried everything but phone is still dead.
My S6E was completly fine afternoon few days ago , was charged and was no issue with it.
Since yesterday morning just red led was in the corner and nothing else . Black screen, no reaction on any buttons combinations , no download mode or recovery, no chance for reset or anything else. After plug in to computer - no reaction - the only thing what i've noticed - when i keep holding power button -pc device manager recognize Exynos 7420 or smth like that - but there is question mark, there's no drivers ( yes i do have instaled samsung drivers) - when i stop pressing it's gone.
My first thought was - battery - was never changed so it could be it - i've checked charging - there was 0,20 mAh so i decide to buy the new one -- but unfortunately - everything is exactly the same except there is no more red led anymore , and during charging new battery is the same - 20-30 mAh - when i use wireless charger there is about 40-50mAh - new battery can be fully charged so maybe that's why .
Anyway , does anyone of you had this problem and maybe solution for this ? There was no problems with this phone before whatsoever
I'll be really gratefull for any hints.

Having the same issue 2 days ago. No signs of anything odd happening till the screen won't turn on and a red led light was on and now it not.

Bricked G4 not (!) again: Charge LED does not light on power-connection

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 ...

[Q] Sleep of death (won't turn on)?

Anyone getting the sleep of death on their XTZ2? I'm running completely stock (not even rooted) on 23.0.1.A.4.30 and just experienced the unit not turning on at all until I do power + up volume.
Upon returning to life, the battery was 90%, so it wasn't battery.
Had a bit of a panic attack until I googled the solution (power + up) but this is the first time its happened to my unit, could it be related to the recent upgrade to 23.0.1.A.4.30? Anyone else seen this?
Mine lasted a day and a half after the 23.0.1.A.4.30 update and then became very erratic and kept forgetting wifi login info.
Did a restart and certainly got a sleep of death OK.
Would not switch on at all.
No power + vol up or attempt at repair via PC Companion made any difference to it.
Since gone back to Sony for repair, that was weeks ago, who knows if /when they will return it.
I had the same problem with mine as well I have the 561 the Verizon model. I have received a replacement but have not been able to get it to turn on either. It shows no signs off life at all not even when connected to power AC or PC. My old one would blink red and go dead when connected to a PC but this one doesn't even do that. I haven't had time to call for another replacement yet but really two defective devices in a row the second one didn't turn once.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent.
Worked fine for 3 days, then failed to power on again as per original fault.
Once again returned it for repair.
Think I'll give up and buy an iPad instead - at least they seem to be reliable and consistent.
This just happened to my tablet this morning. Tried all options under the sun but can't get it to boot.
I can't even do a factory reset and I don't particularly want to return it under warranty.... :'(
Mine is an xperia z2 tablet sgp561 (USA Verizon) build 17.1.D.0.437, stock 4.4.2. This issue happened to me 5 days ago after I powered off the tablet, it won't turn on again. Battery charge was ~70% at the time. Plugging it with factory Sony usb charger won't do anything, charging status LED remained Off, power button unresponsive. I let the tablet sit for 2 days without charging cable connected hoping the battery will drain completely by itself and the buggy firmware will restart executing at its base address getting out of the bug. Then I connected the crap to a fully charged 15000mah Anker power pack and alas, the charging status LED glowed red and after ~5 more minutes the LCD screen turned On for ~5 seconds showing a big battery icon at the center of the screen indicating 0% charge. Waited about 1 more hour and the charging status LED turned amber. This time I did the "power button + volume up" ritual holding both buttons for 10 sec+, expecting 3 vibrations but didn't feel any. At this point the tablet is still powered off. Because LED = amber, thinking battery must be at least 10% charged by now, just pressed the power button for ~2 sec and surprisingly the normal power On vibration came followed by Sony logo on LCD screen and the rest is normalcy.
From what I can remember, the recent change I made before this problem happened was turning Stamina to On in the battery settings (factory default is Off). I reset all settings back to factory defaults and so far so good.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent after about 3 week wait.
Seems to work OK now, fingers crossed it will keep working this time.
The note that came with the return indicated that they replaced the mainboard and battery, which is a better solution than their first attempt which was just to reflash the software.

Dude same thing, WTF is going on, I tried plugging it into charger, nothing. And once I got the msg of red colour battery icon and then I plugged it in. then it started charging and I was happy so I turned it on the it wasn't charging,
Please update me what happened and what they are saying cause I am about to send mine to get it fixed.
Edit: seems that by replacing the battery and mainboard has actually fixed the issue? Guess it's time to send it back to them, Gosh

Did this method work for you? Plus did you come across like it was charging but it wasn't really charging,(like it showed the low battery stat with orange/red colour LED notification but suddenly it vanishes) then it's not responding at all.??
I had this issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps.
The last time it happened i tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result, then decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.
So i try to turn it on 2 days later and the tablet to my surprise responds again with blinking red LED, recharching afterwards did the trick and worked again since
In my case i was running CM11 at the time, both times it happened after an update which required a reboot while, still mistified about the cause and the fix , i presume it solved itself by letting the battery drain.
Since then i reverted to stock rom just to be save but havent had it happen since, this also seems to have fixed some touchscreen problems i was having at times.
Hope this helps.
Bloody hell, I've just ordered mine today!
Don't stress. Mine got repaired. if it goes tits up that's what warranty is for
What did Fonebiz indicate was wrong with your Z2.?
They replaced the motherboard in mine.
Exactly the same, works fine now
This just happened to me today. So seems like overall suggestion is to try and let it discharge. The try to start it back up and charge it then. Just want to make sure that's the only potential solution now?
No! Leave it powered off, put in on a known good charger for at least 12 hrs. Don't touch it in that time.
If it does not come alive after that, send it in for repair.
ok..let me try that. I originally tried that and nothing occurred. However, I just found the OEM charger and usb cable and will try that. Unfortunately it's a Verizon version so sending it in will not be covered by Sony warranty. Per the Customer Service that I called.
ok..tried another charger and the red light came on, but it's been over 12 hours and still no go. I did notice that the red light was no longer on (from overnight charging). I left it unplugged for a bit and reconnected. The red light came back on but still no response. Sounds like i'll need to send in?
Looks like it.
Had the same problem on tuesday. Impossible to switch on, no light, none effect with charger, none effect when connected to PC/MAC etc...
After 4 days without charging my Z2, it came back to life, showing only a big red battery icon when pushing some seconds on the power button. Connected to a charger the red led indicator glowed ! (red battery icon is totally different with the original icon when tablet is charging in power off mode)
After a full battery charge with OEM charger and after a normal power on, my Z2 is now perfectly functionnal.

After LCD replacement, only 3 red blinks *solution*

http://i.imgur.com/eYhCtMr.jpg?1There are many people that changed their LCD (Z, Z2 ,Z3) and then were unable to startup the phone.
Of course one might think, is the display broken, did I mess it up myself, etc etc...
Here are the symptoms. If you have the same symptoms, then this will fix your Z2!
- the phone does not boot. Black screen. Will not do anything else then 3 blinks when you press the power on
- without battery, and cable in a charger (not in computer!), will show a battery logo on the LCD
- with battery in the phone and cable in a charger (not in computer!), will make the "Im charging the battery"-light burn red and after a number of seconds (but not always?) a bit dimmed red.
- the phone vibrates if you do the trick with holding the on button and the volume button and keep them pressed (without battery), but nothing more will happen.
- adb does not recognise the phone at all. Fastboot does, but ONLY without battery
- the battery is fully charged, and NOT the problem
- you can flash, unlock the bootloader etc, but only without the battery
- changing the battery with a new one, does not solve the problem.
You have all that? Great..
- open the back of the phone (probably still open )
- take the battery out and concentrate on the part where the battery connector is.
- take a deep breath and keep calm
- solder a very tiny, thin cable from one part to the other (look at the picture).
If the picture is not clear enough, just ask, and I will answer as soon as I can.

Thats all folks! worked for me! I couldnt believe my eyes, but it worked!
All thanks goes to Ahmed Koukou from Egypt who uploaded the solution on another forum, but without any tips and without description.
Registered specially to thank you and to confirm that it worked for me!!!
I bought a new display of Ebay. At first, I thought that it was a bad display, until I read that others had the same problem.
Thank you! My Z2 is alive again :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Hmm interesting,
- the phone does not boot. Black screen. Will not do anything else then 3 blinks when you press the power on
No 3 Blinks just a solid RED LED
- without battery, and cable in a charger (not in computer!), will show a battery logo on the LCD
No battery logo on the LCD just a solid RED LED
- with battery in the phone and cable in a charger (not in computer!), will make the "Im charging the battery"-light burn red and after a number of seconds (but not always?) a bit dimmed red.
Always a bright red led
- the phone vibrates if you do the trick with holding the on button and the volume button and keep them pressed (without battery), but nothing more will happen.
No vibration, even tried the elastic band trick
- adb does not recognise the phone at all. Fastboot does, but ONLY without battery
If only if the PC would recognise something connected. so no adb
- the battery is fully charged, and NOT the problem
- you can flash, unlock the bootloader etc, but only without the battery
- changing the battery with a new one, does not solve the problem.
Thanks i was going to try that
wow this is very similar to this post back 2 years ago

I am going to have a look at mine
Good luck! Hope you will find a way to get the Z2 to work again!
Well i tried this trick and it worked however today after many months the phone just will no longer charge. The battery is in good condition etc but the charge is just too slow to give it enough power.
I cannot work out why it does not charge at full speed any more
My Z2 has been lying dead in a drawer for over a year now. I thought it was gone for good so I thought what the hell it can't get worse than it is so I gave this a try and it ****ing worked!!
I registered just to say Thanks. My Z2 is alive again :good::good:
it works!
It works. thank you so much. I was so attached to my z2 that I bought an original sony screen for replacement. Imagine the deception with these blinking lights. I would like to know why this needs to be done? anyone?
Hello,
after reading your solution I tried to get a very tiny cable for connecting the two points. I didn't have enough patience getting it working.
After trying it without success, I remembered in past, I had to modify AMD CPUs to overclock them. There I used a simple pencil making a line to connect them.
I didn't think long about that, then simply tried it, and had luck with it. My Z2 is now booting again! I'm happy with my solution!
Hope this will help some other people, who also don't have enough patience.

Million thanks, it worked. I had the phone broken for years and this fixed it. Though it was hard to solder.
Thank you
Just wanted to say thank you for this solution.
I had a similar issue when I put a new battery in it wouldn't turn on. I had the three blinking red lights.
No I have done this it works.
I used Car Window Demister Repair Solution liquid and it work just as well. Got a little puff of smoke but appears to be working okay now.
Again thank you for your help.
you are genius...totally work
Hello everyone. I am also desperate and I came across this solution. I bought the soldering tools however I was unable to do it so I wanted to ask you more about the process. What wire did you use to connect two points? I have 0.8mm soldering wire and it seems to be too fat for this. Also, the guy mention that he did it with pencil. How?
Thanks in advance
It helped me too. Was Xperia Z2, worked well before display replacement, battery at 3,95V, despite of it three red blinks when attempting to start, glowing red while on DC, but not charging (power consumption 0,133A though). Sometimes three vibras when attempting to Power+VolUp while on DC. Black screen only, no logo no nothing.

S6 - Bricked - Black screen and Solid White LED

Hello, friends
Out of the blue, my S6 Edge tried to restart, but got stuck in a loop at the Samsung Logo. One or two times it went to "insert pin" and then restarted again. I tried to Force Restart and it didn't solve the problem.
After a few tries, I managed to wipe the cache partition. Now it's simply bricked with a black screen and a Solid White LED. I can't restart it, enter download mode or safe mode or anything. Odin doesn't recognize it at all. Is there anything I could try?
The phone is not rooted.

Hold only vol down + power for 20 seconds. Does the screen go off? Its not bricked otherwise you wouldnt even have the led lit. Theres hope

Thank you! Tried it. Doesn't work. It's beyond my understading why would it behave this way after I managed to clear the cache. At least before that it went into download mode or safe mode. I still suspect a software issue.

So vol down + home + power will not get you to download mode?
How about recovery? Vol up + home + power?
This happened to me before and the way i got out of it was hold only vol down + power as soon as the screen went off completely (no led lit) switch to download mode combo.
Tried both of the commands. They didn't work. I will let it drain the battery completely and then see what happens.

reminds me of the bad emmc memory like the note 4s had.
some times completly letting the battery drain can fix it being "stuck". then recharge for 20 min or so then trying to turn on.
if u plug it into pc does it reconize anything in device manager
even unknown device or descriptor failed anythiing at all?
This morning the LED was off, so I tried to recharge it. Nothing happens. Also, the PC doesn't detect it at all. I think it's safe to assume I need a new phone. Too bad...at least if I was able to recover the data on this.

you can thank sammy for no ext sd card for that one or more than likely pics would be on sd
now one last sollution is to try buying a cheap battery my note 5 had a issue it shut of one day and wouldnt do nothing i understand ures was blinkik and trying at least
so its a leap but last resort
same problem here started over a week ago - samsung S6: black screen, constant white led. tried all variations of resetting with buttons. over a year ago i replaced the battery, and its been fine since. when this no boot issued happened i also tried changing the battery to a known good one. on inserting a battery and then pressing the power button the indicator led will go to green for less than a second before changing to constant white, and it stays that way no matter what until the battery is drained or the battery is removed. Strange thing is there is no information from samsung on what this behaviour means, but I've come across dozens of other S6 owners on the web with the same problem, so this is obviously diagnostic behaviour designed by samsung - but no info from samsung. the phone has never been damaged or watered or rooted so I'm at a loss.
Confirmed diagnostics:
The phone will respond to the power button and attempt to turn on
The phone will charge a battery, so the charging circuits and battery circuits are working.
The phone does not get picked up by a Windows 10 PC with Kies installed in any state - other samsung phones get picked up no problem.
Same here
I have the same symptoms. When I hild the vol up+home+pwr I get a green let for 1/2 sec then white. No other combinations do a thing. I swapped the battery for a new one. No luck.
Mine started a few days ago. The phone was 50% charge and i plugged it in for two hours. Came back and it had a solid red led. After a few hours the red light went off. It was then 100% unresponsive. I then took it apart and disconnected the battery. When I reconnected it, it started to do the white let thing described above

I have one that behaves exactly the same I changed the battery and didn't make any difference. my next step is to replace power management chip. I'll let you know.
Any luck on this?
Mine has been like this for a couple months, kind of gave up on it, but decided to give it a go again!
Same problem here, just happend after switching the battery. Anyone have solved this?
I found a kinda solution, plug your charger in and charge past 30% then unplug charger. then use just vol down and power button for 7-10 seconds, after 7-10 seconds just release the power button while still holding vol down button until you see samsung logo, you can tell if you did it wrong by the solid led being back on, repeat until success, once you have it on do NOT press the power button or it will RESET back to solid led/black screen.
I have the same problem with my s6 active and similar story to dbeeheim. Has anyone fixed this? And can anyone confirm that enzo13's solution works?
Much thanks in advance!!
i have same problem!
Suddenly my S6 dead, battery was ~80%, no charge

Hello guys my Samsung S6 sm-g920f has the solid white led and black screen. Really no fixes?

Same issue
I have the exact same issue. My Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F) suddenly died and won't get past the 'Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android' screen.
I am unable to reach the recovery options. I've tried flashing two different stock ROMs with Odin which succeed but without successfully turning on my phone. I've also tried flashing TWRP with success in Odin but it won't get past the 'Powered by Android' screen before turning off after +-4 seconds. The white LED is on even when the screen is black.
Just had this same issue, my battery died and I forgot to charge my phone overnight, woke up and it would not turn on, black screen. I did manage to replace the battery and do several diagnostic tests on it. My battery was receiving about half the power output it should be (this is normal it's a 4.5yo phone) and when I replaced the battery with a new one, it did not turn on. With wireless charging I can tell I am receiving a charge and with standard I can not. The screen does not indicate it is charging with either method but my wireless charging pad lights up indicating my phone is being charged. I think it may be the processor or screen itself. This really sucks because I lost all my data on my phone and data recovery can be over $500

red blinking led soft brick?

Hi everyone,
I used a month ago my redmi note 4 before the job without worries.
During the morning I wanted to watch something on my phone and no way to turn it on.
Having charged the phone all night, I tell myself that this is not a charging problem.
I tried to restart my phone by pressing the long power button, recovery or fast boot and despite these 3 manipulations there I see only the notification led that lights up red intermittently as the power button is pressed.
I tried to find solutions but no way to find something that would change things.
I used revengeos for a month so it should not come from improper handling.
Can the phone be cracked like that when it worked a month or is it just a fault of the battery? I see only the red notification led when the cable is connected and no sign when it is not.
Battery has been changed and it's the same as before. I've bought an edl to test but no change.
I don't know if I do something wrong but I tested a lot of things found on google search.
Phone isn't recognised correctly in device manager error 43
What do you think of this problem and do you have a solution to offer me?
thank you in advance
Up
Do you know where I can find solutions about this problem?
Thx
