My fathers 5X stop working recently, unable to turn on the phone.
The two red lights was showed if I tried to charge is or start it.
So my first try was to change to a new orignal battery, the old battery seemed to bee very smooth(?).
After I installed the new battery nothing happens at all, even no red ligt and it doesn't respond on a charger either.....
Someone here who have experinced something similar?

does a pc recognize it when you plug it in via USB?

I was updating my Dash the other day to Ookba's latest rom when I received an error message. It gave me instructions on how to fix it (loading it in bootloader etc.), and I received a message saying it was successful and the rom would continue updating. I received another error message saying the rom was corrupt, and the program shutdown. My phone will not power up now. It was at(or near) full charge while reflashing, but will not turn on regardless of the button combination I hold while attempting to power it on.
Any ideas? Thanks!
what rom did you attempt to load in the bootloader? it should have been the factory rom..if not, then that is probably the root of the problem....as far as it not powering on now...I leave that open to the forum...cuz' I have no relevant advice on that one....
when trying to do the gold card method to unbrick my phone, it say Invalid certificate ..? wats this and how to fix it.
I was trying the "[ROM][EXCA][WWE][* 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.3.00.112509]" when it locked up on me, and still hasn't been able to power up.
Today when plugging it in after a week of letting sit, a red led light showed where the normal orange/green led would normally light up when charging/charged. The light stayed on for a few seconds, then shut off. Nothing else though. Any other suggestions?

Red light my friend means your battery is gone, probably your phone is not bricked maybe it just needs a battery replacement
I am having the same issue, except that I can place the battery in another Dash and it boots up just fine, so I am assuming it is not the battery. I will buy another one to double check. My problem is the same as which is stated above. Can anyone help? Thank you.
Just an update to see if I can get anymore suggestions. Hadn't touched the phone since the last post. Bought a new battery for it this weekend and it's still dead as ever. Won't boot at all. Not into bootloader, nothing. I get absolutely no response holding power+cam or softkeys+power.
Any advice? I don't absolutely need the phone as I've picked up a G1, but it would be nice to have this working, or at least trash it if it's junk.
Thanks!
Everyone else stumped too?
Have you connected to the wall charger to see if you get some response with your new battery?.
Just unbricked mine after being dropped again by the girlfriend. Try this, plus usb cable into device, press the camera button only. See if that gets you into the bootloader screen. If so, flash the oem build and go from there.
Tried it plugged into a wall charger for 3-4 hours, car charger for another hour, and computer/usb for another hour. No response anytime.
I'll try the camera only method when I get home later.
Thanks!
Just tried plugging it into the computer and holding only the camera. Didn't work. Tried that, tried holding power+cam, power+soft keys etc.. What's weird is I had the battery cover off while doing this, and the battery slipped out while I was holding cam+pwr, it actually loaded into the multicolor(bootloader?) screen twice, but would shutoff within a few seconds. Now I'm back to no response from it.
Finally got it to stay on the boot screen without turning off, but can't get it to establish an activesync with the computer so I can't flash it. The computer is obviously detecting it though, because I see an icon that says "remove smartphone usb sync".
The phone's FINALLY working again! Thanks again guys! I was a couple of days away from junking the thing! I couldn't get Ookba's rom to flash it, so I went back to the unbricking tutorial and saw that he recommended grabbing the factory rom to flash it. I did, it worked, and I just flashed it again using Ookba's rom.
Took quite a few months, but it's back! Thanks!
Of usually i search and search until I find an answer but I have now idea what to do...

Not if your battery is completely waste it. Check if your battery pins in your dash make full contact with your battery, because that can cause a problem (very odd, but it happens). If not, try another battery.
Have you checked your charger, I guess is damaged because if your battery is damaged or if is no battery at all and you connect the charger the led will turn red.
sam happened w me, no solution yet
hate to tell you that you might have bricked your phone,
the same happened to my excalibur, when i tried to flash it -mistakenly- with the wrong rom,
thing is; the rom is controlling the power charging process and the battery support to the device, if something went wrong with the rom for any reason; then no instructions are sent to the battery neither the charger, therefore: no power sign of any in the device.
i couldn't find an answer to fix my dash, but i think the solution is either changing the rom or JTAG-ing it might solve the problem, though i have no tools neither knowledge to do so.
sorry pal, the bright side is: you are a member of (BDC) the Bricked Dash Club
cheers

With the information provided it hasn't been your same case due that he hasn´t flashed any other rom, so basically he can try another battery and see what happens.
errrrrr
New Battery - Still no lights and using the reset features found in the unbricking tutorial do not work.
Tried using a cable from my comp to give power to phone so it isnt power cable
So what now? I cant even get to a bootloader screen or anything.... I cant afford a new phone ERRR
**Update-
Was plugging in the USB cable and looks like it gets a connection only when it is plugged in a little but this not just at the end that connects to the phone (it happened when the phone was already plugged into the cable and I was plugging it into the comp and vice versa) Um so that is strange - the light does not stay on and when the battery is in the phone I do not get that quick red flash - so it still doesnt work and cant do anything

Maybe is your USB port causing the problem.
[Q] random shutdown and wouldnt turn on! & "cheap" simple white charging icon!
before some mins i found my phone literally dead! it wouldnt turn on and it wouldnt charge (no led no nothing!). i put it in charge pressed the power button for ~15-20 sec a couple of times and it opened! any ideas why that happened? (i am on 4.1.2 v10h stock unlocked and rooted yesterday with latest version of the apps needed).
also after this (after unlocking i didnt check it before this happening so it maybe is from unlocking? or root?) when i charge it when the phone is turned off i dont see the "nice-looking" charging animation/icon but a "cheap" simple white one!
is this normal after unlocking or not? should i do something about my issues?

Charging animation is normal.... No worries...
Sent from my LG-E975 powering Stock 4.1.2
Its normal.. Big deal for an icon. You should check if the screen turns off when the phone is charging powered down. Its a problem with stock kernels/Roms when you unlock it with FreeGee
Sent from my LG Optimus G using Tapatalk
yeah i dont care for the icon if its normal thanks!
u mean the screan stays open when charging powered down OR that the phone shuts down completely when its charging powered down and it actually stops charging?
my phone powered down by itself when it was just "sleeping" i only had wifi on and the phone was untouched for ~30min. (btw i have all auto sync staff turned off) and then i couldnt turn it on (actually no life signs as i said earlier), it took a looong press of the power button and the phone being connected to the charger to make it just start charging in powered down mode! after that everything was fine!
(btw i had 70% battery before and after this happened, when i saw life signs i removed charger and opened it).
thats my biggest worry now :/
anyone have ever seen something like this? i have searched but i didnt find a solution or an answer in general!
edit: this has happened to my gf's optimus g also but it was dead for 1 hour!
bump.... i have the same exact problem too, did u find a soulution ? ??
Or some clever advise ?
nothing new from my end. also it never happened again but who knows what the future will bring...
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.
ive read alot of threads this is literally my last resort but i dont know what could be wrong or how i can fix it
ive tried new charging port and battery ive tried the battery reset/calibration button combo
i connect it to computer all i hear is the windows noise that says a device has been connected
all stock new screen and everything
all that happens is i connect it to charger and i get a solid red light for .5 second and the led turns back off ive left it charging with original charger and everything
PLEASE HELP :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
