Hi,
I got a Z1c which is probably bricked and I'd like to ask for a hint what to do next to get it working again. Before it stopped working which I don't know how happened it was running stock (LP or MM) and was unrooted with locked BL.
Here's the summary: the display remains dark after turning on the phone, only the top center notification light shines red when connected to the computer. The device isn't found nor recognized in xperia companion, flashtool and windows commander.
Any tips are welcome, thanks.

Hey
My phone stopped working.
A few weeks ago it suddenly didnt turn on anymore
The evening before i put it in charge coz it only had 6% left.
The next morning it didnt do anything
no led light, didnt turn on.
When i try to boot fastboot mode, the light doesnt turn on. when i put it in charger, the light doesnt turn on, my computer doesnt recognize it.
i tought lost case, its dead.
but this morning i tried to turn it on one time, it didnt work. i put it on my desk. i accidently wiped the phone off my desk, it turned on.
It showed Sony Ericsson logo, as im used to, the screen lights up very bright for a second, normaly the key lights and the led should turn on, that didnt happen.
then it went to a black screen, and turned off after a few seconds.
after that it didnt turn on anymore
Maybe the worst part: coz my father is going to buy an iPhone 5, he wants to give me his 4
is there anything i can do? I no longer have warranty.
Have you tried removing the battery, pressing power, then letting it charge for a couple of minutes, and then try to turn it on? Maybe it's really completely empty.
You had anything custom in there?
Did you use the original charger?
As I can understand, phone does not go into flashmode (while turned off, back button and connect USB cable) or fastboot mode (same thing but menu button)?

Repair the firmware with PC Companion, or if you wish to take the advanced way - Flashtool.
Yesterday I switched the battery on my Xperia S and after i assembled everything back the device powered up and the touch was working but i couldn't see anything. The screen doesn't display anything but the device is fully functional.
Can anybody here please help me with my problem? maybe i should turn up the brightness but i can't navigate there (because i can't really work when i don't see a thing). I have also tried restoring my device using the official Sony tool (Emma) but it didn't help me with the problem.
Take it to a repair shop, you may touched by mistake the screen leds.
Hi,
I have been running 4.4 on my Arc S for 2-3 weeks, then the phone suddenly couldnt be charged, cannot turn it on either. I usually see a blinking red led. I once managed to connect it to my pc with "fastboot", or at least it looked like fastmode, but I couldnt flash the phone, the app said it's not connected. PC Companion cannot help either. Also my windows says that USB device malfunctioned and cannot be connected.
I have no ida why all this happened, as I didnt do anything like OTA updates or something like that.
The phone has unlocked bootloader.
Can someone help with this? Help.
Trying to turn on, but all you get is 3 flashes of red LED? Then your battery is empty. Find a way to charge it.

Basicaly yes. Tried to charge it for 48h, but it don't change anything.
How can I make sure it's only the batter dead (empty) not the phone? I have a current meter if that can help somehow.
You happen to have another Xperia Arc or Arc S nearby to try the battery?
No I have not, I will try to look around in some gsm service places.
Hi, i can't seem to find someone with a xperia ZL with the same problem.. All i can see in the web are for xz.
When i was using my phone, (80% battery), i took some pictures then it suddenly turned off. Now, i tried turning it on but nothing happens, no led blink no nothing.
I tried charging it and voila, the red notification light of death appeared. Mind you that I am using a newly installed OEM Sony Battery (used already for a month) on my phone as the previous one also died.
I was searching and all they say is that charge the phone then reset it.. tried that also, charged it all day then tried resetting, still no action.
Tried SUS, can't connect to phone, tried flashtool, also same thing.
Please help!

Hi
Its looking like hardware problem. If your phone is under warranty, please contact Xperia customer service and get your phone replaced
good luck
Open the sim door. You will see there a small yellow OFF button. Long press it and at the same time hold Power+Volume Up. The phone will vibrate 3 times.
So the combo is: OFF button+Power+Volume UP.
same problem
Battery prob, it happen to me twice and need battery replacement

I think if u never touch system like root or costum mod / kernel its Hardware problem the battery is died / Ic Power
But if you get root or flash another kernel without support the firmware maybe its Hard brick . Only shown RED LED when you plugged in charger. the solution is Need 30 minutes to charger it and you get the Green LED , so you can Flash Manually again using flashtool and STOCK FTF .283 [4.4.4]
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and haven't rooted or installed custom roms before, but maybe you can halp me with my problem.
The other day i was on my way to work, at home my phone was working just fine, but when i arrived, it was dead.
I put the phone on charge for the rest of the day, but nothing happened, only a dim flashing red light. Tried to reset in all possible ways.
I charged it with a usb power meter and it draws only about 20mA intermittently...
When connected with the sony bridge for mac software the phone isn't recognised at al. I tried pc companion in windows XP (in bootcamp).
and then the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.
I don't want to sent the phone out for repair, because there are a lot of pictures and other private documents on the phone and i can't erase the phone myself. Who knows what happens when the phone is repaired.....
Is there a way to get the phone back to live without erasing?
Thank you very much

open the sim card slot you will find a small red button (Reset button) there next to the sim press it until you feel 3 vibrations then don't turn on your phone charge it until full then turn it on if it didn't then again press the reset button and don't turn it on , go to pc companion>support zone>software update>repair my phone . and this will be your only hope and i'm afraid you will lose all data on internal storage
