My phone will not show it charging and will not turn on, red light flashing

My phone will notĀ go on, also when i connect the charger it does not seem to relate to the phone, It does not seem to show that the phone is charging and on top of the phone where it normally flashes a green light it is flashing a red light. Everytime i try and turn the phone on the red light flashes.



My phone run out of battery so i went to charge it over night. when i returned to the phone (at that point it should have been fully charged) i took the charger out and tried to turn it on and the red light flashed, so i tried pluggin it in to the charger agen and when i do, the red light flashes and i can not get the phone to turn on.

I'v took the battery out of it and placed it in my brothers w580i (same model) and it worked perfect my battery was fully charged and then i tried putting his fully charged battery in my phone and it still didnt go on showing that it is clearly something wrong with the phone and not the battery. I'v also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would trigger anything but nothing happened just like usual it flashed red.

What worked for me was inserting a SIM card. Apparently it won't charge without a SIM card.

I had the exact same problem with my C905. Managed to solve it by using Sony Ericsson's Update Service. I basically reinstalled the latest update and it fixed my phone.

I did however lose all my contacts/photos/games/texts from my phone. Just shows you how important it is to backup your data!

Good luck.

Red blinking light

Hi, Ephraim. The flashing red light indicates that the device is showing "low battery". It could be that the LG phone charger fits the charging port on your bluetooth headset but it is not compatible with your device. In order for you to know that it is charging, the device should show a steady red light(means charging).
Please take a look at the table reference below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ā€¢With the Charger Plugged In
______________________________________________________________________
ā€¢Headset Indicator Headset Status
Red-----------------------------------------------Charging (battery level less than 50% charge)
Yellow-------------------------------------------Charging (battery level more than 50% charge)
Green--------------------------------------------Charging complete
----------------------------------------------------------------------
======================================================================
======================================================================
======================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With No Charger Plugged In
__________________________
Headset Indicator Headset Status
______________________________________________________________________
Off ---------------------------------------------Power off
Three blue flashes------------------------Powering on/off
Steady blue --------------------------------Pairing/connect mode
Rapid blue/purple flashes -------------Connection successful
Quick blue flash --------------------------Incoming/outgoing call
Slow blue pulse --------------------------Connected (on a call)
Slow blue flash ---------------------------Standby (not on a call)
Slow red flash ----------------------------Idle (not connected to phone)
Slow purple pulse -----------------------Connected call muted
Steady red ---------------------------------Attempting to connect
Quick red flash ----------------------------Low battery

Note: After 20 minutes on a call or of inactivity, the light stops flashing to conserve power, but the headset remains on
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope that'll help you in some way.

When turning power it makes a clicking sound but does not power up. battery charger has a red and green light on. When plugged in and turned on it flashes 8 times. I checked the power control connection,...

The chair will not move if the charger is plugged in. The flashes are normal with the charger plugged into the chair. The lights on the charger mean that the batteries have been fully charged. Red and yellow lights mean charging. After you unplug the charger from the chair (if off-baord charger, turn charger off or unplug from the wall) then unplug from joystick. after plug is removed from joystick press the on button and all the battery lights should be lit and when you move the joystick forward you will hear the electric bake release and the chair should move forward etc Hope this helps

12v 1.5amp fully auto, alwyas worked, hook up to battery 12v 8.5amph, alwys red light flashed, went solid while charging, then off, or flashed, and off cause was already fully charged. now red light just...

I really don't have any idea as to what you're talking about here other than a battery and maybe a charger. Seems as if you're saying that you have a 12 volt 1.5 amp automatic battery charger connected to a 12 volt, 8.5amph battery but the red light on your charger is blinking. The blinking red light indicates that the charger is not seeing a proper connection such as crossed polarity connection or simply a poor connection. You say that the battery voltage has dropped from 12.5 volts to 9.1 volts with the charger connected. If this is the case, the battery is badly discharged and the charger is not charging the battery for some reason. The charger may be bad but check the connections to make certain they are correct and good. If they are, I'd replace the charger.

Good luck
Steve

My sony ericsson w995 won't start,ive tried charging it...but all that happens is that the red light on the back flashes...ive tried everything,please help!

Very simple.Just follow this steps:
1. Connect the charger.
2. While the charger connected, open the back cover and close the cover again. Your phone can be switched on now. This is because this phone got sensor that ensure the back cover always closed while the phone operate.
3. If the above steps not working, try remove the battery while the phone is connected with charger.

Battery Charger Olympus li-40c

I had this problem a few weeks ago (i.e. flashing red LED). All I did was remove the power plug from the charging unit, turned it around 180 degrees, then plugged it back into the charging unit. Red LED came on steady & the battery (which is the one that came with the camera) recharged as normal.

Treo 680 charging light flashes red when disconnected from charger

Have you activated phone yet? When phone is activated and in service it flashes green. It's hard to believe it would flash green without a SIM card, as there is no service...unless AT&T is providing emergency service only and you're getting a flashing green which means you're in range of their towers.
