My new Sony Xperia S LT26i wont power on.

[PandaTheory]

Okay, so here is the problem. I just got my new Xperia S and I have not been able to turn it on.. not even once.

I tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds or longer, I've tried holding down power button + volum up for 5-10 seconds.

And nothing happend... I have been charging it for 2 hours now, and there is a red light on top of it..

Can anyone help me with this?

Did you hold power and volume up untill you could feel 3 continuous vibrations

If that doesn't work try to run a repair using SUS from below

As this doesn't require your phone to be turned on to repair

I held the buttons down for 2 minutes and nothing happend.

And the update service was no good because windows wont detect the phone at all..

You need to install PCC 1st then which will install drivers

Then when you connect in flashmode which is volume down then connect usb lead it should then install the driver for it thus allowing you to use SUS to run a repair

This didn't work either. The only thing my phone does is showing a red light.

how about if you connect it to the wall charger press and hold the volume up and hold it until it vibrates, once it does let it charge for an hour

[PandaTheory]

Tried that to and it didn't work, no big suprise...

Thank you for trying at least

[Uliwooly]

that's quite odd, this might be a dumb question did you try different wall chargers, usb cable and wall sockets?

[PandaTheory]

Quite odd indeed. I tried different wall chargers and cables... and everyone of the seem to work since the phone is displaying a red light.

[Uliwooly]

is it a solid red light or flashing red light?
