My phone will not go on, also when i connect the charger it does not seem to relate to the phone, It does not seem to show that the phone is charging and on top of the phone where it normally flashes a green light it is flashing a red light. Everytime i try and turn the phone on the red light flashes.



My phone run out of battery so i went to charge it over night. when i returned to the phone (at that point it should have been fully charged) i took the charger out and tried to turn it on and the red light flashed, so i tried pluggin it in to the charger agen and when i do, the red light flashes and i can not get the phone to turn on.

I'v took the battery out of it and placed it in my brothers w580i (same model) and it worked perfect my battery was fully charged and then i tried putting his fully charged battery in my phone and it still didnt go on showing that it is clearly something wrong with the phone and not the battery. I'v also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would trigger anything but nothing happened just like usual it flashed red.

What worked for me was inserting a SIM card. Apparently it won't charge without a SIM card.

I had the exact same problem with my C905. Managed to solve it by using Sony Ericsson's Update Service. I basically reinstalled the latest update and it fixed my phone.

I did however lose all my contacts/photos/games/texts from my phone. Just shows you how important it is to backup your data!

Good luck.

www.sonyericsson.com/support, select your region, select your phone type, click software downloads, and then update service. Download is free. :-) im going to see if it works, but the girl who helped me seemed to know exactly what she was talking about so good luck!

i tried debranding my phone yesterday. Once it was done i disconnected it from my computer and tried turning it back on. When it didn't work. I thought that maybe the battery died. So I charged it. when i tried to turn it on it didn't work and a red light came on.

Comment by chuffmunky, posted on Jun 15, 2008

Comment by SW2007, posted on Nov 17, 2007

I have the same problem. Battery was drained and phone switched off. Came home to recharge the phone and connected it to the charger for days but the phone is not turning on. I've held down the red button for over ten seconds but phone does not switch on. Bought a brand new battery but still having the same problem.

Comment by Guest, posted on Nov 14, 2007

At times when the battery is totally empty, that time when i plugin the charger. Its becomes very difficult to switch on the cell once again. Kindly advise.
