Hi.
I left my Arc S went out of battery and now it doesn't boot.
I put it charging on my pc by usb and it turn the green led on. Pressing the power button, it does nothing at all. If I take the cable it when I press the power button it just blink the red led and doesn't boot.
I'm on trip and need my phone urgently. How can I fix this? Could the battery be dead? It shouldn't turn on just even without battery?
Thank you!!

Does it show the battery charging on the screen?
My arc shows the charging battery icon on screen when charging it while being off.
I think you might need to leave it charging for a while before powering it on. Another thing, try a charger instead of the pc.

Don't panic. Just connect it to the charger and wait for few minutes and see after a while it starts up or not. If it doesn't, if you can, try to turn it on with another battery.
Thanks a lot. It doesn't show the charger screen.
I don't have the charger with me, just the usb cable... :/
I'm on other island, where I'll stay until the end of the week...
So do you think that charging by USB it doesn't deliver the necessary power to boot the phone?
Thanks a lot!!
BTW, is the led turning green as soon as you connect it to the cable?

Yes!! On the begin it just blinks the red led, but in a few seconds it stabilize on the green one. Do you know what that means?
Take out battery
Hold powerbutton 30 sec
Insert battery
Connect it to the usb
Dont touch it at all and wait minimum 30 minutes
After 30 min, tap the homebutton.
Did it show the charging icon on display?

<Quote>My epic 4g won't power on. If I plug in a usb cable/ac adapter it will charge the device. The screen comes on and shows the green battery and the amber LED turns on and then turns blue when it reaches 100% charge.
But the power button does nothing. It won't power it on. Is there anything else I can do to force it to turn on?</Quote>
So I got it to boot up. You can do this by holding the power button down while continuously unplugging and replugging in a power adapter (or usb cable). You may spend 2 or 3 minutes unplugging and replugging it in (you need to do this rapidly) but eventually you'll be greeted with the samsung boot screen. If it makes it to the battery display screen you're not unplugging and replugging in quickly enough.
Hopefully o that anyone else who encounters this problem can potentially use their phone in a pinch or recover data off one with a broken power button. My power button is definitely busted and I'll need to get it repaired by sprint unfortunately.
Thanks!

Did you try putting it into download mode? may need to ODIN back to stock.
Ok im new to this forum, as i just ditched my evo shift and picked up and epic, but you might try booting to another menu. Try unplugging it and holding the 1 key on the keyboard then press the power key. If that does nothing then id have to guess ur actual power button is broken. You could also try pulling the battery witih it unplugged for like 5 minutes then put it back in and hold the power button for like 20 seconds and letting it go.
Edit: He beat me to it
It appears the actual power button is broken, neither of those solutions worked. Is there any other way to force it to power up without use of the power button?

Thank you soo much! I have a messed up Epic that has to be sent back to Sprint but I had to get my work information off of it or I'd be in it deep. Your trick worked perfectly!!
I tried changing the bootscreen. Before the phone shut down, it crashed. Now the phone is just displaying backlight. Holded Power + Vol Up for 30+ Sec but the phone refuses to shut down.
The phone is not detected the computer and when plugged in, there's no charging LED indicator.
HELP!

Thanks. None worked. The Power + Up does not respond at all. Tried even holding for a minute.
The screen back lighting is still on. But the LED charging indicator does not respond when USB wire is plugged in.
Any more suggestions?

Did you read through that thread? Let the phone sit till the battery dies and screen goes off. Then charge till you get the solid red led then try reflashing to stock.

Use it if your phone has booting problems, as this option will allow you to reflash...

How long did you hold the yellow reset button for?? Did it vibrate while you were holding it down? If so how many times?
Are you able to get the device into Fastboot or Flashmode by connecting to the PC with Vol +/-??
Reset button,i hold for 15 seconds, and after vibrate 3 times, then when i do it after turn on power button, make nothing, only led red blinking, when i connect in fastboot mode (volume -) dont happen nothing, when plug on flashmode (volume +) only turn on led red, again.....
will be the battery problem? like to know if that?
thanks in advance
i have the same issue

hi there, i have the same issue with my xperia zl not charging just red led light flashing 3x but i manage to turn him back to life with this method,
1.push the reset botton untill the device vibrates 3x.
2.leave the phone alone atleast 2 days.(do not push any botton on the phone on that time span)
3.plug it in to your wall charger for an hour, then try to turn it on while still on the charger.
4.dont let your phone turn off ever again.
I do this every time for 4 months now. but im planning to get the z2 on december as my replacement!
hope it works for you.
Well, just download a program called Light Flow.. It's a program that manage the notification light

as I know its a battery problem.... I think you better replace the phone if its on warranty.
Any body have issues after replacement???.. Mine just went went for replacement...It restarts after SONY logo
I want my phone replaced. There is a display glitch in my zl which acc. to customer care is a software bug but i am experiencing it in every version.
Is there anyway i can make my phone reach that dead state so that it can be replaced?
How exactly did your ZL go into red led blinking state?

when 1st i connect to charger, Red LED blink
and i try to turn on but after that Red LED is gone
i had to charge my phone several hours and try to turn it on again but can't
so anyone can help me?
Plug it in the pc and check what happends, or leave it on the wall charger again for a full night. If it won't turn on after that with different button combinations like power and volume up/down then there is nothing we can do !

You get a replacement battery for under $10 already. Won't that help?
I was flushing beanstalk on HTC Desire (bravo), during the process phone stuck for 20 min so I take the battery out to turn it off. But now its not turning on.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CONNECTED TO CHARGER WITHOUT BATTERY:
The charging red and yellow light blinks.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CONNECTED TO CHARGER WITH BATTERY:
The charging yellow light blinks for a minute or so and then turns off.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRESSING POWER BUTTON:
nothing happens no mobile screen, no logo, no splash. But back side of mobile is heating up so I guess some kind of processing in the background and it is unable to boot it.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CONNECTED TO PC:
since the phone is not starting so PC is not able to detect it. So I can't do anything with adb or fastboot

What happens if u pull the battery out n put back in, press n hold volume down + power? Does it go to bootloader? Very strange that nothing happens if u were only flashing a rom.
