Z3 not booting/charging plus red light flushing

milpiw75 — Mon, 01 May 2017 20:33:38 GMT

Hi all,

My phone stop response without any reasons. I have red light flushing during charging (that was more then 50% when died). Screen is black, I checked and disconected battery - result nothing. Any ideas?

I don't want to change a power socket or motherboard without any reason. Thanks for help.

PS I did all standard staff (p+vup, button next to sim card, PC staff)

Hi @milpiw75,

Welcome to the community,

I am sorry to hear about the issues you have had.

In this case, you may be able to perform a software repair on the device to get the handset started again. This is done with the device powered off so you don't need to worry about that.

Try the instructions below.

Let me know how you get on.
