Hi everybody,
after several weeks of rest in my desk, yesterday I decided to use again the MW600 with my Xperia X10. I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I realized that for sure battery was completely drained, so I put the device in charge for the entire night.
This morning, when I unplugged it from the DC charger, pressing the ON button nothing appeared on the screen! And furthermore I noted that, during charge, no animation of battery charging appeared on LCD: only a "static" icon of battery, as if it already was fully charged.
I have also tryed a reset by press&hold ON button, but no icon appears on the OLED screen!
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!!
Paolo
UP! Any idea? ^^
someone said holding the power button for a few seconds while plugging it in may help.
Hi,
thanks for your reply
Just tried, but nothing happened! :'(
mine got bricked too.. it happened after a work out. maybe it's not designed to handle continuous vibrations while running i guess. i took mine apart and was surprised to see a battery similar to the size of a AAA battery squeezed in there. it's 3-4x bigger than the one used in the DS980. i pulled the battery and put it back in and it still wouldn't turn on. anyway, i got suckered in to buying another one but this time it's white.. can't wait.
So bad to hear... it is possible that completely drained battery means permanent brick?!
well, when i plugged in mine after it was bricked, it would show the charging animation moving as if it was actually charging but the thing is it doesn't ever get the full charge symbol. then once i unplug it, it wouldn't turn on and shows no sign of life.
you have to replace the battery..
i read somewhere that those battery will die eventually so have them replace?
how long uve been using it?
about 6 months
My MW600's Display died las week. the Head set would connect to the phone normally but nothing displayed. I used it for 2 days and it was dofficult to control. So i contacted SE and they asked me to mail it to them. Havent returned my MW600 yet.
My MW600 also just died in this fashion a few days ago - the battery indicator says fully charged when plugged in, but it won't turn on once i disconnect from the charger - i use mine alot for work-outs (running) also -
did anyone find a solution to this?
If i need to get a new internal battery where do i get one of these from?
thx.
ps. - tried the "keep on charger;hold power power button ;disconnect while still holding power button method" but no luck

Hey, I'm from Argentina and I can't get this battery here. I found out in Amazon that there are at least two dealers, found one around $8 and another one like $15. I completely unmounted my headset and I'll try to get one of those amazon batteries but I will have a long time to wait now. I guess you can buy one and try to replace it. The unmounting proccess is really easy, you just have a screw under the power button (under a sticker) and you have to loose the clip (pushing sideways with the screwdriver tip. After that you have another screw and it's only that, just need to unmount the track controlling buttons.
Mine died during a motorcycle ride, I could revive it (it was weird because it had battery fully charged and it never happened to me) and then in a running marathon it just died after 15 minutes.. Since then it won't wake up. I read the battery lasts around 18-24 months only, I bought it in January 2012 and used it daily since then, so I guess the battery just died..
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.
Hi,
Phone was on charging. After 10 - 20 minutes I checked my phone to read new email; phone is turned off and red light (charging indicator) is also turned off. I changed charger / battery and did all basic steps. But phone is not displaying any thing.
My phone (HTC Amaze) is not starting. I tried volume key down + power button. I changed battery for my mobile. Phone is not showing red color light for charging.
Kindly guide me how can I turn it on ? I have many important sms messages for my company in it.
Regards,
Mine did this when i didn't charge it for months. The way i revived mine was with a cheap chinese universal battery charger ($10). I left it overnight to charge and in the morning turned on my phone and after that it was fine.
Maybe coz i didn't charge my fone with the usb for a while, it did nothing when i tried to charge it but when i charged the battery externally, it was fine after that.
Try reformatting as well.
Someone might have a better solution, but anything is better than nothing.
Good luck.
Hi all,
My phone cut out at about 10% battery charge earlier and wouldn't turn back on. I thought it was probably just bad battery stats. But now I'm home, even after an hour on charge (and 30 mins on another charger) the phone won't turn on. It also shows up as an unrecognised device in device manager.
Whats weird is that when I first plug the charger in, rather than seeing the blue battery logo, I see an unfamiliar green battery logo as attached.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? (Tried booting with the volume up and volume down buttons held)
It's also come at quite a frustrating time, I may not be able to reply until Sunday night as I'm off camping in the sticks for the weekend.
Thanks
Plug your charger and Try to keep holding the power button for 1 min.....maybe start

Sadly that didn't work.
The battery appears to now be taking a charge (300mA/h according to a USB multimeter), but I haven't been able to even get SP flash tools to recognise the handset sadly.

That is the conclusion I'm coming to, sadly there doesn't seem to be a UK stockist of the battery yet, but I guess in the mean time I can see if the seller will honour any form of warranty on the product. For now, I'm back on my old G3 and it doesn't even begin to compare. I loved my Elephone.
Bad luck my friend.....I have a samsung galaxy 2 and one day run out of battery and never awake again....weird things
I think it should be cover with warranty.....Is one year in China
Type a email to Elephone support and they must be assist you because the phone is less than one year in the marketing.
I hope you will have a possitive news from Elephone
Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on.
I have the same problem a while ago with the green thing logo while charging , I even try it on wireless charger but it has the same thing with the green logo of battery ...but luckily it charge normally with blue logo
I have seen this on my screen a few times when I ****ed my bootloader during flashing. Device ended up being semi-bricked. I could not flash via SPtools because my device didn't get recognized. I was able to fix it luckily!
Hi all, sorry for the delay in responding.
So, the first problem was the battery. You need to charge it beyond 3.8v I think to get the phone to turn on, probably better to get it to 4v so you have enough charge stored to use the phone. The phone can't charge the battery below a certain threshold (around 3.7v) so you have to remove the battery and use a lithium-ion battery charger (any phone battery charger), these are available for about £2 on ebay.
In my phone the USB port had also stopped working for data transfer. I tried changing the board with the USB port on to no avail.
I replaced everything but the screen in the end to get it working.
Are/were you on stock OS or had you replaced it with another rom? Just for a bit more clarity of the problem.
Following on from a Previous Problem which fixed yet created a newer problem I have:
Redmi Note 4 64gb running on Global Rom with a Battery showing Zero Volts on USB or AC Power. Plugging out instantly powers off.

I have no active warranty as an Aliexpress seller(3+ years a seller) vanished at Christmas. I've no issue taking it apart if I need to replace the battery. Watching a Youtube first dismantle video it appears I need a BN41. I'm going to go presume that my local multitude of phone shops won't stock that battery as I tried two and one asked "How do you spell that?" and another "a what phone?" so I won't be going down that route again.
Only reasonable price I could see online was some Eastern European country and using Google Translate I find these charge about €27 for the battery but it's not in stock anyway. Another is €48 in china. Seems a little expensive considering a Redmi 3 battery is about €7.
Anyway I'd prefer to see if it's software leading into a hardware problem as well before venturing down the route of battery replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brought phone into Repair Shop in my City and asked(phoned few days before hand and no problem changing battery) and it was fine until he says "Supplier doesn't have your battery" so I've to go off an buy a replacement. He says that if the phone will show the battery the connection between the motherboard and the battery is not corrupted as such. I'm also looking at "Chargebattery" in the Engineer Mode under Battery and I can see the following as well
ADC_Charger_Voltage :[4626 ]mv
Power_on_Voltage :[3400 ]mv
Power_off_Voltage :[3400 ]mv
Charger_Topoff_value :[4100 ]mv
FG_Battery_Current Consumption:
[XXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]ma ---------The X represents the consumption as it's going from about 230.0000 upwards to about 462.00000 and fluctuating.
I've had to order a Battery from Spain(exact spec battery BN41) and also bought a Micro Precision Toolkit and none of my tools are small enough to get those screws. I can see all the stripdown tutorials but alas none of them referred to the exact size of the screws so I ordered a Multi-tool. Hopefully it is just the battery otherwise it's the cost of the phone, battery, little multitool down the drain.
I did a very small driver to get one of the screws out(not exact fit) but the other wouldn't budge and I don't want to thread the head on the screw so backed off for now.
Same battery issue w/ Redmi Note 4

Hey BertieBaron, I'm having the same issue with my Redmi Note 4, I've bought a new battery from Iberaccess, opened the device and installed the new battery piece but it didn't solve the problem, still switching off as soon as I unplug it... it's driving me nuts!
Have you found a solution in the meantime? I'd be very glad to hear from you mate.
Cheers
Nope. Binned it. One Plus3T arrives by DHL in a few hours.
Emailed Xiaomi offering to pay for repair. They said No.

Gotcha. May I know whether the charging problem emerged after a fall, water damage or out of the blue?

Confirmed to be no Water Damage by somebody with more experience than I. Was it dropped? It was a teenager so anything is possible but there was no evidence of such.
Yes guys i had the same problem now, stuck at zero Percent there's a RED light indicatingit's charging but still ZERO won t go up ...and once i unplug the phone from charger it turns off Instantly ....I foudn the Solution for that it s quite easy as u think .. all you have to do is :
1-unscrew the 2 screws bottom
2-becareful while taking off the cover u need to take off the Sim tray
3-and slowly take off the over there s the finger print sensor cable unplug it
4-once the cover is off u see 2 cable next to each other one of them is for the battery ...Doesn t matter remove them both and hold power button for 20 seconds
5- make sure u do keep holding the power button for 20 seconds .....do that like3 or 4 times to make sure no power is left inside the phone ..
6-plug everything except the sensor and power on the phone and check this worked for me
Once u see it worked turn the phone off and put back the sensor and get everything back to together .....Don t plug the sensor while it s turned on i have no idea if this damages anything!!
Hi everyone, I meddle in the discussion, I have this problem. I have a Redmi Note 4 Global, a few days ago it turned itself off. I tried to turn it on again and it worked, then obviously the battery ran out. Tried to charge it, the screen turned on with the "mi" logo, red led at the top but it gave me completely empty battery with no percentage. I thought it was the dead battery. I changed it to a new one and put it in charge. Now I see Mi logo and 47%, it does not charge the battery unfortunately. Stopped at 47% for hours. The battery therefore does not charge. Even if I connect the phone to the PC, the charge does not start and the PC does not recognize it. What could be the problem?
Thank you

mabye the module is not original bro

The seller assured me that the circuit is good. In the reviews people didn't complain about the fast charging problem.
I am using the original charger and before changing the charging port, it charged normal and fast.
In what sense to change ROM?
