Classic Sony Xperia E Boot Issue.

[James_J]

Hello All,

I have an archaic Sony Xperia E which has not seen much use but seems to have a very odd problem which prevents it from booting. It was working flawlessly until I woke up one morning and it would not switch on. I charged it fully the day before and it was only down to about 80% that evening. It would only respond to charge with a flashing red light and did not respond to the power button being pressed. I saw online that sometimes it can take a long time for it to switch on after a flat battery, so I left it on charge for 4 hours then tried the power button, no response, then once every hour and still no result. I tried every different button combination possible for at least 10 seconds each and nothing. In the end I thought that the battery must be dead which is why It is displaying a flashing red light and not responding. So I purchased a new battery for it, and guess what? Still not responsive.

I really appreciate any and all help that anyone could provide, I hope to revive it as it's in perfect cosmetic condition and would be a great example of early Android technology if working.

Thanks Again,

James J.

PS. The events descibed above happened about 5 years ago. I tried this all again this year, and later purchased the other battery.

Hey Michael,

Thank-you for your response, I gave them a ring and they suggested I do the Power+Volume-up button combination again, which I did and there was no response from the phone.

They also said that it cannot be sent for repairs as it has been out of support for so long, today I'm leaving it on charge again just in hope that it will boot after a few hours. However I doubt that it's battery related. It also gets mildly warm which usually means its charging.

Thanks again for your suggestion and hopefully there will be a way to make it work again,

Kind Regards,

James.
