Xperia T won't charge/reset/turn on

[stakenhielm]

I'm experiencing the same problem above with my brand new Experia T. I ran the battery down to zero and after that I can't charge it or the phone does not respond at all. I have tried all the above with no success. I have tried three different micro USB cables, two different chargers as well as charging it from my laptop USB. It seems like the phone won't charge (it remains cold) and connect to the computer at all. The reset function volume up + power does not have any effect. When I push the power button the LED is only blinking red. Please advice on the best way to a functioning phone.

I have the same problemand my phone is just over a year old. I have tried all the same options as the others but still get the black screen and I am getting very frustrated with it cos I don't get txts or phone calls and can't play games or go onto internet while waiting for people etc.  Has anyone got a solution.

Hi Dumidu ..

I'm experiencing the same problem of my Sony Xperia T resisting charging without any obvious reason i may have provided to it for behaving so .. the phone is stuck at 7% and not moving up the charge fill despite a constant battery charger connection of over 4 hours now..!! pls help

I am experiencing this problem yet again. I do have the latest updates and this is the same phone purchased in september 2012 from Rogers. 

My previous solution procedure in this thread(under sprete98) did not work this time, however I found a post from Michael Darlington at this link(http://www.forumforpages.com/facebook/sony-mobile/xperia-t-is-not-charging/423700550/0?error=access_... helped me get my phone to boot again, so all credit and thanks goes towards him.

Here's the steps I took and symptoms I had:

Symptons:

1) Phone was dead

2) Pressing the power button would blink a red light

3) Holding the power and volume up button makes the red light flash a couple or few times

4) Plugging my phone in to charge gave no notification light unless presseing the button combinates said above

Solution Procedure from what I recall:

1) Plugged phone in to wall usb charger

2) Physically held the power button for 5 to 10 minutes(the red light remained on)

3) During the 5 to 10 minutes I randomly pressed the volume up button( I don't know if this does anything useful)

4) Unplugged the phone from the charger(was still holding the power buttton, don't remember if I was holding the volume up button)

5) Plugged phone back in and it vibrated and booted up at 1% charge(at this step I can not remember if I was holding the volume up button but I definitely was holding the power button, I am leaning towards I was holding the volume up button)

Hope this helps anyone

Hi I  have had my xperia t for a couple of months and have had a new battery put in recently as the other one was faulty now it's not charging just flashing red every couple of second

Connect to wall socket and charge for 1 hour,force restart after(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates).

mines been charging for 48 hours. it's plugged in and no charge light. i try to turn it on, so some power is getting to it, it turns through that RIDICULOUSLY long rainbow sequence and switches off, i just wanna turn the wifi and vibrations off and the colour down. (had it since nov 12, so, no warranty obviousy.)

I keep coming back to these threads whenever my Experia T is acting up again. I finally bit the bullet and went the hardware way as described in a comment on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWox7kCygRE

"In the end I fixed this problem by removing the back cover (one screw in where the SIM card goes) and detaching the battery supply from the phone. After a minute or two I reattached the battery supply (its a little yellow tab beside where you plug in the charger) and put the cover back on, plugged into charger and it started charging as normal."

It's surprisingly simple, to be honest.
