Hello Guys.

coming straight to the point, I was changing my Xperia Play's display. I did well. but before pakaging I want to be sure that display working fine or not. I connect battery to terminal and press On Switch but it wont turn on. Suddenly I saw the Battery It connected Wrong. Means +ve connect to -ve And vice versa.

Now When I put battery and try to on it, the RED Light present in Power Button Blinks. When I connect charger to it It Flashes Once and Than Continously Remains Red. Battery Become hot during charging Process.

Please Help me.

Maybe it was the battery problem or something going wrong with your phone when you disassemble the display and cause hardware failure.

You need to perform the above steps with the phone connected in flash mode (connected whilst off and holding the volume button)

@Abyss01 - Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Please try performing the same steps but after you have unistalled the device through Device Manager, reconnect to a different USB port (please avoid using a USB 3 port as well.)
