Get a USB JIG from http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch/ They also have a service that can fix your power button issue.

ADB Reboot <download/recovery> will work with USB debugging on.
But would caution against doing stuff like that right now, if the power button is wonky you don't want it acting up and doing something like rebooting the phone during a flash

Phone doesn't boot

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?

Thanks a lot!

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?

hi dude
i wanna ask
yesterday i use my HOX till battery empty [die]
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?
