Got a acro S 2 months back.. last week the screen went suddenly went BLANK. No display at all, only backlight.
Tried various method and updated using Sony PC companion to latest firmware.
I can turn on the phone. I can go into bootloader and go into flash mode. But screen is blank. When I plug in the usb to my PC, I can access the directory in the phone.
What can I do now?? Help me....
Have you tried hard reset yet??
Hold the Power button and Volume up button for few seconds. First you will feel one vibration then after a while 3 more vibration.
Then power on the device again.
If this doesn't help, then may be it could be a hardware issue.
Tried the hard reset. I even dismantled the whole phone to unplug the battery and check for any loose connection and water ingression...
I am suspecting it is hardware issue too
Anyone knows where to get cheap replacement screen?
Thank you.
Then it seems that it's a hardware fault. You may check here.

i have a a100 with the latest flexreaper rom installed and im stuck with a pretty serious issue:
a couple of days ago the tab was acting real slow and sluggish and getting bad battery life didnt think nothing of it so i just rebooted a couple times and left it alone . all was good untill the battery hit 10% and i plugged it up using the factory ac adapter. the next day (maybe 6-7 hours later) i went to turn it on and nothing no vibrate no screen flash nothing; other than the power button turning blue as i pressed it and it would stay on for a couple hours but still no other response from the tablet.
im at my wits end on what could be wrong and now i got my wife with her foot on my neck till i get it fixed. can anyone help me?
ive tried to do a hard reset with the reset button tried to boot into recovery /bootloader no dice
(also my home button flashed a couple time i pressed the power button) dont know if its relevant but wanna get as much info out as possible
wondering if anyone can help me...

It may take awhile for someone to see this and form something to try, random bricking for no reason is rare, its almost always some error by the user. However have you attempted adb connection to it? Leave it powered off, connect to the PC you used to unlock the boot loader then power on. Does the PC make the USB connect sound? Does the Acer vibrate? Did the home key blink again?
It really sounds like your boot partition is wrecked which wouldn't normally happen outside of flashing. If boot loader is trash then it won't know what to do and just sit there. No recovery or anything else.

it made something like the connect sound but instead of the regular duh doom sound it did a dadadoom (kinda hard to describe the sound) but it was faster than ive ever heard the connect sound before which is weird. the tab didnt vibrate and it seems the home button blinks when the tab is dead and needs recharged

Yeah I know that sound it means USB connected but error for some reason. Its been shown if this thing dies all the way down it wont read the battery correctly and probably needs to be sent in. Before that I personally would unplug it open it up and remove the battery for awhile, maybe an hour then put it back and plug it in. But thats me, not the advice I'm giving. If you have warantee on it use that.
The batteries on a lot of devices and laptops etc have something of a fail safe, if the voltage drops below a certain point it trips to prevent cell damage, however it renders the battery useless.
I haven't searched out much past that if a reset is possible by us, but it seems the pack is trash after or needs sent in.
Since this is a sealed unit you void warranty opening it (well unlocking the boot loader did too) so you can't send it in for repairs without paying for it.
I hope someone can jump in and help figure this out, and prove me wrong.

Weird, This exact same thing happened to me. Used it in the morning and now after work it won't turn on. I had already tried disconnecting the battery, but hadn't thought to leave it disconnected for an hour. My tablet has been running the leaked ICS since it came out and The last factory reset it had was about a month ago. It was working fine up until this. The power button seems to be responding correctly, the issue is that after the LEDs light up, there is no vibration or display. I hope someone can help us with this issue.
EDIT:
It won't connect in ADB mode. It will only appear on my computer as an APX device and since there is no vibration I am unable to boot into fastboot. Any help or suggestions? All the threads I have found have involved booting into fastboot.
i am also having this problem. i set ti backup last night to save to box i turned it on this morning it.worked set it on the charger came back to a frozen screen. I turned it off now just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen
same thing here.

I have been using ICS the leaked one, and last night I was goint to check my email and it did not turn on, I though the battery died. I plugged to the charger and this morning I tried to turning it on but it failed. I did the reset pin but nothing. I connected to the computer and it was recognized as a APX device and installed a driver ACER Picasso USB recover but i cant access anything. I am a nob. Thanks

i am also having this problem. last night. just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen. :crying: Help!!!!!!
Has anyone tried holding the power button for a while? Laptops do this too, if someone felt ventures, try taking the battery out and hold the power button. No promises, might work.

Having the exactly same issue, here...
I also tried to hit the hardware reset button and it does not help.
If the screen is blank while powered on its in failsafe mode, in other words is bricked, has to go to Acer.

This just happened to me a few weeks ago as well. If you are still under warranty send it in to Acer, thats what I did. I just got an email saying they had fixed it and were sending it back for free!!
At the time I was on the 9/02 JB build. I wonder if this issue is caused by faulty hardware or if it is an issue that was made by rooting and unlocking it? I don't know enough about this stuff to answer that though, but it does make me think whether I should root/unlock it when I get it back or leave it stock.
Also thanks Pio_masaki for helping me a few weeks back wasn't sure if I was even going to send it in until you said they most likely won't be able to tell.
I highly doubt they even CARE when sending these in. They will void for physical damage most likely.

Ohmygod,
Same here, but it's 3 years ago. Sorry for digging the topic. Still no hope? I still keep the tablet and have just buy another refurbished mainboard to replace but still no vibrate and blacksreen still there.
Hi guys, need some help, rooted and installed slimbean just 2 days ago and everything was going great.
Pulled my phone out of my pocket today and the screen wont come on. Captive buttons come on and off with each press of the power button.
Holding down the power button reboots phone (captive butons flash and phone vibrates) but still same problem and tried getting into bootloader but not 100% sure that its going into it as same symptoms as before.
Tried hooking up to a few computers at work and it just says USB drivers failed to install as problem with USB device.
LED still lights up for charging.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
How long was it in your pocket for? Is it possible the battery has run out? If so then there is always the possibility the juice running out coincided with an error. It might mean you need to try the batch files to charge your phone?

Last time i looked at the phone about 15min earlier i had about 25%
Has been on charge for about 30 min and now i only get the LED, captive don't light up, doesn't seem to reset when holding the power button.
All of the sudden the screen of my new Nexus 7 does not respond to touch.
I was looking to my emails, then stopped using the tablet for 10 mins and, when I tried to use it again, the lock screen did not recognize my swipe motion. I then tried to reboot it: pressed the power button, touched the Power Off option and nothing, also here it did not register my touch.
I was able to enter into recovery mode (using power and volume keys) and perform a factory reset but that did not solve the problem.
I am stuck at the lock screen and I cannot unlock it.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
i think its just a 4.3 software bug. i love the tablet but the new update isn't very good IMO. google needs to get this right.

Since it has to be new I'd recommend just trading it in for another if a reboot or reset didn't fix it. I'd hate to see a fellow get stuck with an unreliable device. It could be many things though such as a bad digitizer or loose LCD ribbon flex cable or just a software glitch. To check the flex cable you would have to disassemble the unit which of course could potentially cause problems when trading it in. I dropped a tab one time though and it Jared my charge flex cable loose and just reinserting it fixed it. Good luck

Any idea about how to fix the problem (factory reset did not work) other then sending it back for a replacement?
Wait for Google to release official image then return to stock to see if it fixes it.

I have a feeling it is a software problem. It was perfectly working and few minutes after it was not. Nothing, hardware-wise happened in the middle.
Software-wise, I noticed, on the top of the screen, the notification that a keyboard update was installed. Could have it broken something?
I thought a factory reset would have handled that possible problem but it did not.

Mi7chy,
thanks.
A question: I started reading this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796) to understand how to flash the factory image and I am worried I cannot perform step 1 of the Driver Installation section (I am unable to unlock the lock screen...).
Any suggestion?
Contemplating of returning this back for a replacement...
Thanks!

I was in staples and their floor model had the same problem, I tried to fix it but it just sat there in a frozen state.
I have a bricked Xperia Ion that would boot loop on sony logo without being recognized by my computer and as far as I tried, I cant get it to flashmode. It's a Kernel issue because when my phone exits low charging mode, it just bootloops again until the battery drains itself.
It's a lt28at, so my bootloader is locked. Here where I live (venezuela) is difficult to find the apropiate tools to take apart my phone and unplug the battery from the mainboard, but i had already tried hard reseting my phone twice, leaving it to charge and then as soon the red led dissapears, I prepare flashtool with my firmware and connect it keeping the down volume key pressed with no luck.
I*ll keep trying, everybody says my phone is impossible to brick due to the locked bootloader but I have a question that needs to be answered:
Hard reseting the phone does the same effect than taking my batery apart and leave the phone 10-15 to reset itself?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No the hard reset is not the same. For some reason the device will freak out causing this issue. Taking the device apart and unplug the battery is the best way to get your phone running again. It takes allot less time and is not hard to do with a bit of mechanical knowledge. If you want to try the other way then listen careful. When you do the reset with power and volume there is actually three phases. We know about the one buzz and three buzz. If you have payed attention while doing it you may have noticed that just before the first buzz the screen will bleed out and shut off. If you do that after it starts to loop from charging it should then allow you to plug it in to the computer in flash mode.
Keep in mind if it does buzz you will most likely have to start over. So as soon as you see it let go of the buttons. Hope it helps.
Ok, so I get the first buzz, then immediately i left the up button to press the down button while connecting to pc with flashmode ready? I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because it just starts to loop again.
Try reinstalling your Flash tool & the drivers of your device is might help you to detect flashboot

No you can not let it buzz. You must let go as soon as you see the screen start to bleed out. It does this just before the first buzz. Again if you watch it while holding the buttons the screen will start to shut off. As soon as you see it you must let go of the buttons. If you do it right it will shut off and then you can try to connect it with flash mode. Also before you set up your flash make sure the device connects and loads the flash driver. Then you can flash your file.

I'm new to the Ion, so I don't understand this thing about the one buzz and three buzzes... can you explain what this means?

The newer Sony devices have a reset function seeing as most have internal battery's. By holding the power and volume + keys it will do one of three things.
1 After about three seconds the screen will go off almost like it bleeds out. This is force shut off.
2 If you keep holding the buttons it will buzz once. This is force reboot.
3 If you continue to hold them it will buzz three times. This is a force reset. Almost like a battery pull type situation.
Thanks so much.
With a stock kernel, how reliable is this?

Hey there. i used my htc one x (international version) for a half year with the android revoloution hd latest custom rom. it worked just fine. latley, during a phone call with a friend, my phone just died. completley died, cant get any response. tried to turn it on, press the power button for some mintutes, and all possible button combains. the computer doesnt recognize it (nor even as unknown device), there is no sign form the phone, even when it connect to the charger. in a lab we tried to replace the screen and the battery, but it just not seems as an hardware issue. i suspect it some kind of software issue, mainly because in its last days it started acting strange, restarting and turning off by itself.
if anyone here know a way to relive this phone, i will be so thankful. but thanks anyway.

hi! well, if you keep power button pressed and after some seconds the capacitive buttons don't light up and flash and if you cannot wake it with any buttons combination, i fear it broke down and it's an hardware issue... if you are under warranty you can send it to repair service, maybe they won't notice it's rooted and with a custom rom but if they do they might charge you a fee
