Hi everyone....
im again. but this time im very sad. my phone have died again =(, it appears to have the BROD, but i don't want even in thinking about it. yesterday it turned off without no reason, i wanted to take a picture and it was off, i wanted to turn it back on and nothing. as i wasn't at home, so, when i did the flashing process to fix the phone, it didn't work out. i left it on the bed-table until today at the morning. i tried to turn it back on and don't work, then, i pressed the keyboard around the 5 and 6 button and the phone came to life, as it was almost discharged, i re-charged, and then it died again. i try to press the keyboard but no results anymore. i just noticed now that each time i want to turn it on appears a "red" light in the power button. what is the signal of this light?...thanks eveybody

Umm.. Red light in power button- means battery is too low. Try to charge the battery for longer period. Before that reinsert the battery. That might reset something.
If no luck with charging, try another one, may be one from your friend or family.
I guess this should work. Report back here.

By the way, do you remember, what was the battery status, when your phone died ?

Well, when i had this problem the battery icon on the top-right corner was in "red", so that mean "please recharge me" lol, it had like 16% of life. and with all the experiments that i did may be it discharged even more.
here is the real issue, when i try to connect it to the power supply (charger). the phone's keyboard, and the camera indicator light turn on, then vibrates and turns back off, this happen often until i take off the battery =( . Probably it is a software failure ?. I dont want to send it back to sony technical service again, because the take a long time to see the problem and maybe no possible solutiions to it. the last time i sent to them the phone, they didnt repaired it, i was the one that repaired the phone, so, it is a waste of time.

thank you. i will post back if i get a solution.

When you plugged the charger, only keypad light and camera light (blue ring) lit. Unfortunately, your phone has BROD - Blue Ring Of Death. and in a process you have drained out your battery. Try to charge your battery with other phone or use other battery and flash the phone with a2uploader or seus. This will certainly help. :)

Before thinking any thing complex, lets make this simple. Have you tried another battery or try to charge the battery with another phone? Pls do that.

@ceaser2008

unfortunately i don't have anyone to exchange battery. my father's phone is a Samsung =P, so, it is almost imposible that the battery will fit in the sony ericsson battery compartment i went to t-mobile shop store, i tried a "new" battery and happens the same. I meant everything the same but the red light doesn't appear. I thinking my battery needs urgently a charge, but how?

i will be very thankful if i fix the phone for myself and not sending it to se customer center. they are all dumbass, may be i know more than all of them together. lol

With new battery, red light didnot appear but with your battery, it is there. This itself shows that your battery is drained out. Try to charge anyway or use your friends and familys battery to flash the mobile via a2uploader. It will be back to life. :)

You can borrow the battery from someone or you can give your battery to any mobile repair shop for charging. You might have to pay a little for that, but try that as well.

Dont give your phone to customer care unless you are in warranty, otherwise they would say its circuit is damaged and needs replacement. And your bill would be sky high. Dont believe them. I have experienced the same. Well its a long story, i will share it someother time. But now first come first- charge your battery. :)
Thanks

(1) hardware issues -
check the battery connector that connects to the motherboard; check the motherboard, charger and fastport; get new battery; send for repair

(2) software/fw issues -
get a fully charged battery and flash the phone or send to the shop for flashing

(3) the battery discharge itself while charging -
it can be either the hardware or the fw issues or both; try to charge the battery using CBC-100; send for repair

but most importantly make sure you get a fully charged battery first....

Thanks for all your help. Look I didn't get of "drained battery". Did you meant if I exposed it to water or moisture? If it, I have never done that. Now my phone still in warranty until Nov 15, 2009, if I don't repair it for myselt, I have to hurry up and send it to SE Customer Repair or not?. I have told in previous posts that computer and AC charger don't recognize either the phone or the battery. Last night I saw something very strange and weird:

1- Once I connected the phone to computer the red light appears behind power button, still there for couple of minutes and then it is gone.
2- Meanwhile, I have opened the a2uploader ready with flash files, so when the red light is gone, I press the "C" button (I never disconnect the phone from PC).
3- The flash process begins, it takes a while.
4- When the red light turns on again the flashing process get cancelled or frezzes. Usually the process of flashing finish at the middle, so sad.
5- Then I disconnect the phone from my pc.
6- Take out battery, and reinsert it.
7- The phone doesn't respond to turning on if I press the power button, but now, if I plug it in the charger, it turns on keyboard and camera light lit, and still there DOING NOTHING until I take out the battery.
8- Now, even if I connect the phone back to computer and trying to flash it in normal way, it also turns on keyboard and camera light lit, and still there DOING NOTHING.
9- Finish

Now I wonder. I can't flash the phone unless the battery is inserted, right?. I tried doing it only, but no results at all.

Thank you. I hope you can understand it. I explain step-by-step in what is happening now.

I have completely understood what you are trying to say from the first post of yours. But cant you understand one thing. Simply, GET YOUR BATTERY CHARGED IN ANY WAY.

Drained battery means fully discharged battery not wet or something like that. If you cant get YOUR battery charged, then i think you should take advantage of warrenty period.

Simple advice, i am repeating it. Get YOUR battery charged-flash your mobile with a2uploader. That's it.

Yeah, one thing, before flashing, firstly remove your a2uploader from pc and restart it then reinstall it again.
I hope i am crystal clear to you and this would help you. :)

When your phone is BROD infected, the battery will not charge. As it fails to load or fails to initiate the startup process.
Wishing you Good luck for charging the battery. :)
