HTC M9 Not charging, blinking red light - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
So I have a problem with my HTC M9, when I plug it in all I get is a blinking red light (not solid red light as it should be when charging) and the screen wont turn on or indicate anything.
The blinking light stops and goes off after about 5mn after I plugged in, and when I press the Power button it starts blinking again.
I have tried to press the Volume Up & Down + Power button (and all other combinations of these 3 buttons) while it's plugged in but it didn't work.
I have also replaced the battery with a new one but still the same problem.
So are there any suggestions to fix this issue.

My One X is dead !

Yesterday night I was watching some YouTube videos on my One X over Wifi until I got the low battery alert. The phone was hot at the back, near the camera area. I put the phone to charge and went to sleep. I noticed that the LED was blinking alternate green and orange, which according to other threads is an overheat indicator.
I left it like that. Now I wake up in the middle of the night, try to wake up the phone to see time. The One X will not power on and will not charge anymore. Taking it to the shop in the morning.

Hey man, I can tell you that I had something similar to that except the thing with LED. My battery was dead and I had to charge it... It was on usb and when I was trying power on the htc it wasn't reacting. I had to plug it on the power to make it work... Which is actually not normal that the usb wasn't enough...

Had some similar problem too. Overheating charging through wall.
Let it charge for a while in usb port and try to reboot again.
Same thing happened to me. Was playing a game until battery died. I held the power button down for a 30 seconds and it came back to life.

Blinking green and red means the phones too hot and as a safety thing will not charge, let the phone cool before you charge it

Thank you for your replies guys. I know that blinking green and orange means the phone is too hot. I let it cool for couple of hours and then tried charging. It will not charge. I tried connecting to power and to usb, left it for a while.. no activity.
I also tried other methods above, like holding power on for a longer time etc. The phone's still dead. Not powering on, not charging..
Return to the seller because is a hardware fault. Or call to htc.

I took the phone back to MediaMarkt and they gave me a new phone
My previous phone had yellow tint at the bottom, had it for 3 weeks. This new one does not seem to have any issues so far. It's made in China as opposed to earlier which was from Taiwan.

mediamarkt? i have to try and get htc to take it back, its stuck in apx.

[Q] HOX wont charge nor boot after a drop

Hey there guys,
I was repairing an HTC One X for someone i know, (she dropped it and broke her glass) but since i got it (ofc) i tried to turn it on.
No succes. So hey, why not walk to the charger and plug it in? No charging light.
Opened up the phone and checked all the connectors. they were fine.
During an hour or two charging, i was googling, and some people reported that holding vol +&- and power button would revive it. no success.
I'm not replacing her glass untill i know this isnt a hardware problem
Please, share your knowledge
Greetings,
djpbx
UPDATE: Suddenly the hox's led started to blink, idk anymore what i tried and buttons and power combinations but lets leave it going. fingers crossed then.
UPDATE: No boot after the blinks (just faded away again), put another battery in it and boom, it booted. only nothing on-screen lol, lets replace that screen.

HTC One M8 not turning on or charging

Installed Viper Rom 5.0.2 running normally for around a month.
I plugged the phone as usual for charging in night at around 15% battery level.
In morning phone was dead.
Left it charging for a while but unable to switch it back on.
No led comes up while charging.
Did lot of research online and Tried all methods like pressing Power + Up or Power + Down or Power + Up + Down for a while for switching the phone on.
But no response from the phone
Also when I put in the micro-usb socket (when attached to charger or computer) while pressing power + volume up buttons the led flash orange for a second.
Connected with PC shows up as QHSUSB_BULK under device manager.
Please help in reviving my phone.
Thanks

How long is "a while"? Let it charge for several hours (overnight) and try another cable and charger, in case the first one is broken.
Then try to hold power+vol up (or power+vol up+vol down)for a minute or more.
The fact it flashed an LED at all is a good sign. A true brick usually has not LED response.
OoohhhI KNOW...
****...i hope i am doing this rite...
Anyway...what you do is so the volume up , power , and the return buttons all at one time...until it turns on....leave alone so it can reboot.
It should be good to go...
Seriously i found if you do this to any device acting unusual...even for
volume issues...check your devices cpu..if it runs hot a lot,
i found this to be related somehow in the htc..
Call me c r a zy
You have to do it longer...if you have no reply...dude this works ..
Or your phone is Effingham dead dude.....

Naa nothing worked...
led comes on (just for a second) when I keep pressing the power button and put in the cable to the phone.
Also I noted that when I plug in the cable a bit further than the exact slot of charging point led stays for 4-5 second then goes off.
very frustrating it has become...
HTC M8 Completely Dead
Finally I sent the M8 for hardware check and repair.
But unfortunately it was completely dead for no reason.
I left the hope and bought a new phone....
NO Solution at last...
HTC should help me out here...
There phone is completely dead... in just less than 2 years and that to with normal usage (without extreme usage)
I hope someone takes the message to htc for the problems the customers are facing from there devices..
They should just replace such devices with new one for satisfying the customers who had believed in there devices and paid premium amount for the same.

M8 Not booting, battery problem?

Hi Guys,
Strange problem here.
My M8 does not respond to any button combination at all.
But when I plug in the charger, the red LED Light comes up, the battery icon comes on the screen, the red LED gets brighter, and then everything goes black and the process starts again.
I was wondering if any of you guys experienced this, or know what this is? It suddenly happened.
I was thinking of a problem with the battery, but not sure?
M8 is running the latest insertcoin.
Charge the phone for several hours (overnight) on wall charger (not connected to computer). Then hold power + vol up button for a minute or longer, and see if any change (even if it's just the HTC logo screen). Folks often don't realize you need to hold the buttons what long in certain "stuck" situations, including battery drained/power off. That includes myself, I thought my M8 was bricked some months ago, as I was simply not holding the buttons long enough.

M8 Wont Turn On. Red LED Still Lights Up When Using A Charger But No Screen/Response

Hi,
I have a htc one m8 that wont turn on. I plug it in the charger or the computer(the computer doesn't recognize it) and it shows the red led charging light, but it won't power on. I have tried the several key combinations multiple times, but they did nothing. I also left it charging the whole night and the light was still red this morning.
The phone had given some issues in the past. The charging port is a bit temperamental and for a while it wouldnt charge if the cable wasn't in a certain position and wouldn't turn on, so it was shelved, until recently it started working again for a few days and now won't turn on at all.
Anyone has any idea what the problem could be or how to fix it? Could this be a dead battery? I thought it could be a bad battery, but it would still turn on when charging, no?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I have been trying the key combinations these last few days and nothing. any ideas?
