Xperia SP won't charge or turn on

If reflashing has not resolved the problem then you are really only left with contacting your local Xperia Care team to arrange assessment of your device.

RatheeshKS's solution above WORKS!!RatheeshKS wrote:
Xperia SP comes with a non removable battery.So turning off in this condition is not possible by removing battery.The volume up+power button doesnt work in Xperia SP unlike other phones.The solution is given below. Remove the back cover of Xperia SP and look for a small yellow dot on mid bottom with “OFF” written below it. Check the image below. Now “Press & Hold Down the OFF Button, using a tip of pen or any other pointed object for around 10 seconds”. Phones vibrates and will be switched off automatically. Check image below.P.S. Don’t use very sharp objects as it may damage the OFF Button. Now phone restarts.After restarting we found that our Xperia SP got back to normal temperature and everything was fine. We were able to charge our Xperia SP again, device was cool. I also faced the same issue and got solved with the solution given in above link.Hope it will work for you also
(except the link to how to turn the SP back on is wrong, you just hold down the power button on the side as usual) My XperiaSP was completely dead, wouldn't charge, no red led even, holding down the power button for 10 secs did nothing. However, as per RatheeshKS's post, I removed the back cover and used a ball-point pen to press down on the yellow button at the bottom (don't press too hard). After ~10 secs got three vibrations! Then held down the power button onthe side and it vibrated again and booted up. (Note battery was at 79% so phone was unplugged during these operations)

My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

Ipad won't charge unless turned off

My iPad 2 won't charge unless turned off and in some cases not at all. It does this off and on. Typically, it'll stop charging when turned on and I can turn it off and charge it to over 40% (or so. . . .it varies) and then it will charge the rest of the way while turned on. And then, I can go through long periods --maybe a month-- where it will charge as usual (while on) but then suddenly it will stop charging while on and will only do so when off. This back and forth has gone on for several months. Today it stopped charging even when off. Given history, it might kick in and start charging suddenly but I fear that the battery could run out this time and I'll not be able to charge and restart it. I'm at 20%. I am using the iPad 10W charger and I have a new one so the cord is good and it works to charge my iPhone as well. I have also tried rebooting the system, holding down the home and start button. Anyone have experience with this and a solution?

you can also try the universal troubleshooting step of resetting your iPad. No data is lost so don't worry.
You can reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Xperia C3 won't charge, won't turn on

Good day! I've been having problems with my 7 day old Sony Xperia C3. It started when I opted to charge my C3 at 11% battery. I plugged it in the socket using the charger that was provided and it suddenly turned off. From then on, my C3 won't charge anymore. Aside from that, when I try to turn it on after leaving it "Charging" for ten minutes it boots the Sony screen up to the Xperia blue wave screen but it turns off with a short vibrate and a low battery sound. (the red light indicator doesn't light up continuously when plugged, it lights up for about 2-3 seconds then turns off).I've tried using other android chargers but yielding the same results. I also tried connecting it to my pc but still the same. .

Hi I got the same issue .. What happened is it turned off just today and I turned it on but its not. When i charged it the red LED light kepts on blinking and when Im trying to open it, its not working it just shows the sony screen logo and it kept on restarting while its plugged to the wall charger. This is upsetting help pls.

My Iphone 5 won't charge while turned on.

My iphone 5 won't charge at all while turned on. I have to turn off my phone in order to charge it. I can't really use my phone now because of the iPhone 5 battery life. I need help!

You are going to have t take that to the apple store . Make a Genius Bar appointment and they will help you. Most likely they will give you a new phone. Hope this helps

Since downloading ios8 iPad 2 won't charge or turn on! help!

Hi guys,
i updated to ios8 last week, since then my ipad2 has done nothing but run terribly slow, two nights ago my battery went low and cut out all together. I put the iPad on charge aand it just won't charge up or turn on at all now.
I Have tried pressing the two buttons together many times. It's been on charge for two days straight, I've plugged it into my laptop to see if the greater power source could boot it up. None of this worked
Tonight i went went to the Trafford centre Apple store and got no help at all. qued for half an hour to get my iPad plugged into a laptop and forgotten about, felt like because I wasn't buying anything they didn't want to know! So going into a store hasn't helped me either.
I Was just wondering has this happened to anyone else? I don't know what to do about it and am lost without it! If anyone has any advice please help!!

1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

My iPad 2 won't charge or turn on anymore

My iPad 2 was working then went dead and now won't charge or even turn on. I have tried different chargers to make sure it wasn't the charger it self. I have been told it might be the port or the battery it self. Or even maybe something called a ghost app could have made it crash, how can I fix this? Can I do it myself?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

IPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.1 won't charge or turn on

My iphone5 has no battery and won't charge up, both chargers I have are Apple brand and work perfectly with my iPad but won't work in my iPhone, even when I try turning it on the dead battery symbol won't show up, I cleaned the lightning socket but it still won't work and tried holding lock and home buttons while the charger was plugged in but still no response. Can anyone help please?
Btw the phone is still under warrantee

Mine is ok, so it seems not to be a issue of iOS.
Call AppleCare and let them check the availability of your Apple account.

IPhone4 iOS 4.0.1 won't charge when turned off

I had a 3GS that when placed in the dock (connected to my iMac which is always on) and was turned off (the iPhone that is) would charge normally and was completed in the normal amount of time (a few hours for a complete charge). When I upgraded to iOS 4.0.1, the iPhone would only charge in the dock if it was left on.
I upgraded to the iPhone4 (4.0.1) and the same thing is occurring: the iPhone won't charge when it is turned off; only when it is left on will it completely charge.
Because it happened with my 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.0.1, I am assuming that it is a software issue with the new operating system.
I have tried a restore as recommended by tech support, but that did not resolve the issue. Has anyone else had the same problem? Any idea how to fix it so that the iPhone4 can charge when placed in the dock and is turned off? Thanks.

1) stop being impatient.
We are all users like yourself... reposting one minute later is not going to get a lot of sympathy from us.
2) Clean the dock connector with a soft, dry brush
3) Try a different sync cable or charging device.

IPod will update on iTunes but won't charge or turn on properly

Hi,
I've just downloaded iTunes 7 and now my ipod won't charge or fully turn on. When i plug it into the computer it updates normally but as soon as I try to turn it on while it's not connected or charge it in a powerpoint it displays the folder icon with a warning sign on it and shows the ipod support website on the screen. I've tried updating the latest mini software, restoring factory settings, and re-formatting but it won't work. When I restore it it says to complete the progress I need to plug it into a powerpoint but when I do this I get the same folder with warning sign icon. Please help!!
Thanks

3GS won't charge or turn on. Is IOS 5.0.1 the issue

Updated to 5.0.1 on Saturday - that was bad. The backup kept failing and instead restored phone from an old backup. Lost photos, contacts and important messages!! Not impressed.
Anyway biggest issue is since then my battery has suddenly shown very poor performance and as of this morning will no longer charge or turn on.
Nothing seems to bring it back to life and I'm loathe to think that my only solution is a new phone.
Anyone got any hints or tips??

Unplug the USB cord from the wall plug and attach it to a USB port on your PC and see if the charge light comes on. If not I suspect the connector on the phone has come loose and you will need to get a refurbed replacement.

IPhone 4 won't charge, connect, turn on...

The other night I had my phone plugged in to charge and I kept hearing it turn on and off. I woke up and took it off the charger and all it displayed was the flashing red battery with the charging lightening bolt.
Now it will not connect, hold a charge or turn on. iTunes doesn't recognize it, I've left it plugged in for hours and nothing changes. I can't reset it by holding the home and lock buttons down. I've tried leaving it plugged in and restarting my computer but nothing will power it on. I've tried my wall charger, car charger and MacBook Pro but nothing will get it to turn on. Any help would be fantastic!

A solution I found else where is to:
Connect the iPhone to your computer, Itunes wont acknowlege the phone at this stage.
Now put the phone in to DFU mode(see this link for an explanation of how to do it, few button clicks but it will answer any questions you might have: http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/).
iTunes will now recognise the iPhone in DFU mode, giving you the option to factory reset the device with the latest iOS update
This happened to me yesterday while using an iPhone 4 I purchased a year ago that was running iOS 4.1. At the time of writing the latest iOS is 5.0.1 which my phone is running fine with no further issues. Of course if you dont have your data backed up you stand to lose some stuff, but the phone will run fine and iCloud which comes with iOS 5 will prevent future data loss. Hope this saves someone some time searching the internet or a trip to their local apple shop.

Brand new Ipod touch won't charge or turn on

I recently got a brand new Ipod touch. The first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. A red battery icon showed up on the screen. I left the ipod on the charger for hours and the icon was still red. It won't turn on either. I have tried connecting it to ITunes but the red battery icon just comes up whenever I plug it into the computer and it does not show up on itunes. I am new to the ipod touch so maybe I am doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the ipod??
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

First try reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
