Today evening, I took out the charger and reconected it after 2 hours, again the same thing... Nothing is charging and the led doesn't turn to red it just shimmers green...

Check and see if you have battery update 1.3 installed. You should find it at the location listed. Right click on the bundle and check *Get Info* a window will open and you can check the version there.
MacBook/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
Leopard(10.5.1) and Tiger(10.4.11) installs it. It is the MacBook Pro update.
If it is 1.3 drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to empty the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should reset the SMC (System Management Controller) after doing this.
How many cycles on your battery?

Hi,
My z10 phone was normally working, and sometimes it's don't response and hang. last time i tried to restart and it's took long time and i used blackberry link and did software update. in between software update was completed but it was not run. i got problem. Red light blinking.
even i charge it or restart, Red light blinking.
after i face this problem, i tried to slove by autoloader, new BB link and many more action done. Nothing work.
it might be mother board problem???? but i am not technician.
We cann't buy easily motherboard also.
I think Blackberry is totally **bleep**.... Since i have used blackberry storm , storm 9860 and z10 al are **bleep**.

I think BlackBerry is totally awesome...Since I have used BlackBerry Pearl, Curve, Bold, Z10, Q10, and now Z30. All are awesome.
There are so many things that could cause your Z10 to fail. You could have gotten it wet, dropped it, stepped on it, or any other manner of abuse. It could also have just failed on it's own through no fault of your own. Since I know MANY people with BB10 devices right now, including 3 in my own household and another 3 assigned to some coworkers there is no problem with all BlackBerrys.

Z30 - doesn't re-starts - RED LIGHT BLINKS

i cant restart the bb z30, i was connected with charger also for four hours but no use, and pressed power button for 10 sec but it didnt started. how to solve this issue please help me

Recommendation:
Install BlackBerry Link on the Pc/Mac you own. Sign in to BlackBerry ID at the top of the app. Do 1 partial (settings no media) and then 1 full backup.
If you've been able to get that far use Link to see if there are any updates. Ensure you're directly connected to the computer not a hub.
Power off fully or press both volume buttons together for 10 seconds - I think that is the reset combination.

Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this. I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

Xperia z2 dead , red light blinking when connected to usb charging cable

My phone is totally dead, i cant do anything power button + volume up button , force restart button near the sim , and nothing happens , also when i connect to a usb charger the red light is blinking all the time . Please HELP ME i need my xperia z2 back to live....

Hi,
For how long time have the phone been connected to the charger? If the LED is blinking red, it sounds like the battery is completely flat. Thereby it can take a longer time before the phone indicates charging and/or powers on. I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger via wall socket and let it charge for 1-2 hours.

Red light appears over my iphone speaker when charging.

i accidentally washed my phone. So i decided to do the rice treatment.and now when i put it on the charger a red light appears over my speaker. Also when i try to hard reset my phone the red light just flashes.Then after a while the light just goes away.

That's the proximity sensor. It's not supposed to do that.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. it's no longer safe to use it.

Phone doesn't turn on, solid red light, requires send back BUT I have a request.

I've essentially figured out that my Z10 needs to be returned for some sort of warranty / repair, however I'm really hoping that we can request that the data on the phone be saved rather than it just be lost forever. Is this possible? There are many important notes that haven't been backed up.
Symptoms: Phone doesn't turn on, red light comes on solid for a few minutes and then turns off. Connecting it to a computer doesn't result in anything (no computer connection, no change in phone).
I am with Bell, and I even live in Kitchener (I could personally drop into BB to sort this out) I wanted to check here as a last resort before sending it back.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I used these steps from Geek Squad and it worked for me.
Restore BB10
When a BlackBerry 10 device is only flashing the red light and refusing to boot up, this indicates that the device’s operating system has become corrupted. The flashing light may follow the pattern of 1, 2 or 3 short blips, with a longer pause between the sets.
In order to fix this, you need to re-install the operating system on the device, which will then set the device back to its original factory state.
Please note: this process will completely wipe your device, so please make sure you have a backup of your personal information available to restore before going through this process.
Download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Link for your computer.
Open BlackBerry Link software.
Plug in the BlackBerry device using your USB cable.
At the bottom left of the program, find the device you're having issues with and select it by clicking on it.
The BlackBerry Link application will then ask to either reconnect or reload the device software. Choose Reload.
Confirm the reload when prompted to do so, which will wipe clean any data previously on the handset.
Allow the reload to complete, which can take some time. Whilst this is underway, the device will have a solid green light. This process of downloading and reinstalling the device can take an hour or more, depending on the speed of your internet connection, soplease don't disconnect the BlackBerry until the process has finished.
Once the restore is complete, simply set up your device again, or restore it from a previous backup stored on your machine. However, if you want to restore a previous backup, remember to sign in to your BlackBerry ID on the device first! If you're not sure how to do this, we have a full guide available.
The good news is, this process is almost identical on both PC and Apple Mac. Simply follow the same process as above. Finally, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

8310 Dead - Red Light

I've had my 8310 since March, and last week after I took out the battery at the stuck white screen. Now it will no longer turn on, and when I plug in the charger a red light comes on. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Evan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this...
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
Make certain your USB cable is connected to one of the PC's main rear USB ports. Not a USB hub, nor a monitor USB port, nor a USB port on the front of the PC.

Pear 9105 RED Light and the Empty Battery Chargin Sign

THe last call i disconneted happened to be the last call.
THe phone refuese to start.
When connected to the BB charger the red light comes on steady for about 10 seconds and off
After about 5 seconds the battery charging sign comes on remains...
I tried to reinstall the OS
But the desktop fails to reconnect to the JVM after the up date and then en error on the desktops says failed to reconnect at this time the phone still shows the Battery charging sign
One interesting observation here would be that when i open the Apploader or even the device manager for that matter my BB pin is listed there..
THe device is 2 years old and this is the first ever issue.
I tried the usual deep charging.... battery removal and stuff.....
Any help would be appriciated

OK...please try this on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below. (moot in your situation)
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Now try again these tricks (I gave you all 3 before, but you only mentioned that you tried one of them). If any of these instructions state to use an Update Website or something, please substitute the Desktop Software, as installed above, and/or LOADER.EXE as applicable to the method:
KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Do of course be aware that if there is some sort of hardware fault, then no amount of information we can give you can help...by continuing to try different things, you can rule in/out various software/OS level causes, but there is no way to truly diagnose a hardware problem. Only an in-hand evaluation by a qualified hardware technician can give you that type of diagnosis.
Good luck and let us know!

Hi guys well huge issue my Ipod 4th generation shuffle died and I tried to chrge it I plugged it into the USB port and the red light came on and after 5 seconds turned off the whole Ipod is dead and I've tried in wall chargers as well that doesn't charge

Hi guys well huge issue my Ipod 4th generation shuffle died and I tried to chrge it I plugged it into the USB port and the red light came on and after 5seconds turned off the whole Ipod is dead and I've tried in wall chargers as well that doesn't charge what should I do is there a solution or should I claim my warrenty and have it fixed??

Also my Itunes and computer won'r reconize it

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

IBook G4 with red light on charger

Hello,
I have this problem of starting up my iBook G4. It doesn't turn on at all when I press the power button.
At first, I thought it was low on battery. So, I charged it and the red light is on no matter how long I charged it. May I know what does the red light represents?
Does anyone encounter this problem?
Thanks in advance, guys.
Regards
Yee

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't know if this will even be relevant to your situation, but there is an article which talks about the red light with regard to powerbooks:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18241
One question would be whether this battery and charger worked properly in the past, or if one of them has been replaced. The article made it sound like some batteries and chargers do not work together, and if you replaced one or the other, there might be some incompatibility.
Hopefully someone who really knows about this will post back. I don't have any personal experience with this--I just remember reading about it in this article.
Good luck!

Displays red light for 20 seconds then goes out. nothing else happens. have tried charging it on the computer and all night in power point. wont show up in itunes or my computer

i bought my daughters ipod shuffle 4th gen last week for xmas. set them all up easily etc and wrapped them for xmas. kids opened them up for xmas played them most of the day so i thought i would charge them both overnight on the computer. pc went into sleep mode which i didnt realise wouldnt charge them. so in the morning they were flat so i charged them on the pc but 1 didnt seem to take any charge while the other worked perfectly. treid to charge it all night long last night using a power point charger and still this morning it displays the red light and wont show up in itunes or my computer. apple support havent rang me yet

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.
Cheers.

Charger doesn't charge, no red light
