Phone won't charge/turn on

Hi, Recently, I've encountered a problem with my nearly 2 year old Xperia T in which the phone just turned off and wouldn't turn on. The last time I checked my phone, it was 25%, and then 5 minutes later, I checked it and it switched off and wouldn't turn on. At first, I thought it was a flat battery so I went to charge it but all I find was the red led light turning on and off every 5 seconds. At first, I thought this was a charging error so I connected it to my laptop and it connects for a second then disconnects and keeps disconnecting after that. So, then I thought it was my charger or cable, so I tried a different charger (different original Xperia T charger) but the problem persists. So, I went online and people said put a rubber band on the power button and charge it for 2 hours. Did that but the red led light does the same routine - turns on and off every 5 seconds - but then after 5-15 minutes in the red light disappears. I left it and thought that it was still charging but at the end it wouldn't turn on. I even tried the classic Up button and Power button trick and still no clue. My phone doesn't have modifications or any ROM stuff. I hope I've given you sufficient Information and hopefully a solution will turn up.  Please Help!

Thanks for the reply! I tried this and even though I removed SIM, connected it to wall charger and done the power and up volume button thing, the phone still kept showing a red LED light for 5 seconds then the red LED light disappears, then it the red LED light turns back on and the cycle continues. The phone doesn't turn on - no sony Logo or anything, just a black screen, but the red LED does some turning on loop. In my opinion, I think the phone is trying to charge but then it can't so it turns off, the it tries again to charge (Hence why the red LED keeps turning on and off).  However, I've noticed after keeping my phone on charge for a few hours that the red LED completely turns off and doesn't turn on again after about 15 minutes into the charging. It's as if it's given up charging or something. But then, when I reconnect it, the same red LED light loop occurs. Please help me fix this soon as I need it for my new workplace. Also, this phone has been used for nearly 2 years and is on contract (2 year contract in UK), so can I get it fixed for free since it wasn't me who broke it? Like it just turned off as if it was a hardware or software problem. Thanks!

  • My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

    My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

    Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5)  When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response.  I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life.  At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter.  And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left.  So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely.  One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems.  So this is the first time this has happened since the update. 
    In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
    Issue:  "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep.  I have to give it a hard reset.  Is anyone else having this issue?"
    Response:  "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
    Follow-up:  "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
    "Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off.  I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

  • Phone won't charge when shut off

    I have a new Blackberry Classic and most of the time the phone won't charge when it's shut off.  It's not a problem with the charger, as the phone will charge when it's turned on.  Sometimes (not all of the time), I can get it to charge when shut off by turning the phone on and off a few times.  It's also not a question of the charging lights not working, as I've left it turned off and plugged in overnight, and the charge will be less in the morning than the night before.
    Aside from this, the END CALL button normally turns the phone on and shuts it off (as it did on the Bold) when the phone is unplugged.  When the phone is plugged in though, the END CAll button won't turn the phone on.
    All of this makes me wonder whether the phone has some underlying power/charging problems that will get worse as the phone gets older.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for the advice everyone, the software update solved the problem.
    QM, even without the software update the phone should charge when it's turned on.  Is the battery so dead that the phone can't even be turned on?  If that's the case, then I would return it.  Otherwise, I would plug the phone in, turn it on, wait for the battery to charge and then do a software update.

  • HT201412 phone won't charge

    I have gone through 3 chargers now the phone won't charge unless I put a rubber band to hold the wire in. And lay it still

    That sounds to me like you have some debris stuck in your charging port on your iPhone.  I know that happened to my wife's iPhone a while back and using a clean dry toothpick to get teh debris out solved her problem.

  • My I phone won't charge, what might be wrong??

    Phone won't charge, what could be wrong, is less than a year old!

    If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor or when connected to your computer, the cable may be bad.

  • HT4061 My phone won't charge with any battery what could be the problem?

    My phone won't charge with any charger what could the problem be?

    Dock connector. Try to clean out lint and dirt from the dock connector with a toothpick or paperclip and make sure there aren't any sprongs missing or damaged. Try another charger and/or a different outlet. Change the battery

    My phone won't charge through I tunes or charger

    What store did you get it from?  All we can tell you is Apple will NOT touch that phone. It is no longer eligible for in or out of warranty service from Apple or any Apple authorized service provider.
    Apple does not sell iPhone parts. if you had someone replace the screen, they had to use one that was either:
    Counterfeit
    Stolen
    Salvaged from a damaged or non-functioning iPhone.
    There are NO legitimate sources for iPhone parts.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Phone won't charge, I've tried everything that I could possibly think of.

    Okay, currently I'm losing it because my dead phone won't charge. I've been nice to it, it's 3 months old and has lived in an otterbox case for it's whole life. Yesterday I tried to plug it in when it told me I had 15% battery left, it charged to about 30% and then the charger just stopped working. I tried multiple charges from multiple outlets and from my computer and taking the battery out. Nothing is working. Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you have tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets it sadly leaves only 1 likely conclusion.  It is most likely either damaged or defective.  The only steps left to take would be to determine whether the issue is with the battery or the phone itself.  I strongly reccomend calling in to tech support to help you determine the issue and help you resolve it.

  • Nokia 5530 XM won't charge/turn on

    Hello everyone!
    I've been facing this problem with my phone for two weeks now and this is my last attempt to fix it before I buy a new phone (although I don't want a new one, I love my 5530 XM). 
    So, it won't charge. When I plug in the charger battery just gets warmer and warmer and nothing happens, I can't turn the phone on or do anything with it. First I thought it's up to charger, but how would it get warmer if the charger doesn't work? This is my second battery and what's interesting about it is that whenever it got empty (like totally empty) I had to take it out of the phone and wait for 5 mins and then it started charging, otherwise it wouldn't charge..
    I wasn't at home and battery was empty (I saw like 10 alerts to plug in the charger, but I couldn't because I didn't bring the charger with me). When I finally got home, I plugged the charger in and it never started charging, not even now. I tried everything, removing SIM card, memory card, but nothing worked. 
    Any solutions? 

    I would have probably tried charging battery in a desktop charger before trying in in device.

  • Iphone 5C won't charge, turn on OR go into recovery or DFU mode. What's happened?

    My work phone (iPhone 5C) was working perfectly (never had a problem charging it or any other problem) last week until I let it run out of charge. When I charged it yesterday (left it on charge all night) it won't charge or turn on. It also won't reset (power button & home button) and it won't enter recovery mode or DFU mode. I know my charger is working as it chargers my partner's iPhone no problem.
    It was working perfectly so I'm not sure what has happened that means it won't turn on. I have a complete black screen that doesn't change at all - no apple logo, no symbol to tell me it needs to be charged, nothing - just a black screen.  
    Can anyone help or explain what might have happened? Please! Thank you
    Update - Also, obviously my computer does not recognise that anything is plugged in.

    It would seem like a hardware failure
    I would take it into an Apple store or authorized reseller for further trouble shooting
