xperia Tipo doesn't power on

skawise — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:06:48 GMT

Hi,
some days ago I connected my Tipo to the charger before going to sleep. When I woke up it was turned off. I removed the battery then I put it back but still it didn't power on.
Sometimes, when I tried to power it on, it vibrated (as it usually does when I power it on) or there is the red led (like if the battery is discharged). It never powers on, neither with the charger.

I tried another battery (a friend has the same smartphone), but nothing changed.

Did someone have the same problem and solved it?

I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion:

http://www.sonymobile.com/update

In PC Companion, press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phones software > Press the blue link that says "Repair phone". Do this without the phone connected, then follow the instructions given to you in the program.

I already tried but it doesn't work.
I press and hold volume - and connect usb cable, but it doesn't fix anything. The update doesn't start.

Take it to the service centre, they fixed mine too, on the 3rd visit :/. So call their bpo before going there and throw around some weight, that's the only way to get their attention. Hope it helps.
