Red flashing but cant turn on?? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a Sony Experia Z3. Great phone Was loving it. However I woke up this morning To a frozen screen. The screen then went blank and I now can't seem to charge it or turn it on. I have tried all kinds of resets but nothing seems to work any ideas??
Please??

try this first -
a. plug your charger into a wall socket
b. connect your phone & leave it for a few minutes
c. hold the power button and the volume button down together for at least 1 minute
d. expect to see a red LED/no charge indicator
e. release both buttons
f. push volume up
g. expect to see an empty battery graphic onscreen
h. now press the power button and it should charge normally

Also try connecting via the magnetic charge port. That usually fixes mine when it won't turn on

Try a few hours charging (maybe a battery issue) and try turning it on or just exchange if that fails. A similar issue on my HTC One X was due to a motherboard failure, eventually it would not turn on at all and had to get mobo replaced.

[Q] xperia z3 not respondig

hello,
I had left my phone to charge at night, then this morning it was not responding. Power button was not waking up the phone. Then i forced to reset by power and volume buttons. Vibrated 3 times and completely shut off. Now it is not opening.
I already tried, reset button in sim cards slot. It is not working also. Please help me.
Did you try connecting it to PC Suite or FLashtool? Check that once and also try charging another hour and then force reset the phone. Also I think there is a reset button somewhere under the sim card slot. Try that one too.
Hold volume up and press power. Wait for beep three times. Give it a few seconds and then press power alone, should boot.
Thanks guys, i tried both but still i have sudden death. reset button and power+volume buttons not working. Also flashtool could'nt find my device.
Thats not good, any led when plugged in?
I had a similar instance after flashing unofficial cm12. Phone was cooling down from taking a run through an obvious cpu bug that really killed my battery. I shut it off to cool down with 20 precent still left in the battery. And the phone started to act this way when I went to power it on. No led power indicator or anything even with usb connected. My computer did respond to the usb being connected as if a device was there though. I waited about 10 minutes with the phone in front of some cool air and then did the volume up power button reset which worked then. Still quite a scary incident.

[Q] One S wont charge or turn on

Woke up one morning and the phone was stuck on the startup screen. Turned it off, and when I rebooted, it still was stuck on the startup screen. Then, after a day or two, it would not reboot at all. no red light when plugged in charger. also when its plugged to pc, pc is making sounds like its plugged and then unplugged many times. is it possible to fix it? or its dead motherboard?
Are you able to access the bootloader?? By pressing volume down and the power on button simultaneously while no cable is connected to the phone?

[E] Xperia E doesn't turn on, only red light

Hello,
I tried to power on my old Xperia E, but it only shows a red light.
When i charge it, it mostly blinks red, but sometimes it power on and goes of immediately.
I think it had TamsuiCM11.
I don't care if it is working or not, i'm just interested if i can get it working again.
Thanks.
I was saw a solution about that. It says: Eject the battery, later long press to power button (Nearly 10 second). And the last of: Plug the battery to phone.

My solution: If you charging your phone with computer, you should try phone's charge adapter.
My solution: never again Sony...

Dead GFlex2: get LG logo but no startup (or Recovery)

My LG G Flex 2 H950 was working fine, running google maps and playing music, plugged in to the car charger. Within minutes of leaving the car the phone was dead - I could not power it on. I can usually get it to show the LG logo by trying to start in Recovery Mode (holding the power and volume-down buttons for several seconds) but then the logo just disappears after a few seconds and the phone does not power on. But sometimes when I try this the red LED blinks on the phone screen and the logo may or may not appear. Sometimes (50%) when I plug the phone in to my Windows 10 desktop, the computer plays a tone to indicate a new device has been connected, but no icon appears in the list of hard drives or devices.
I think the battery is charging normally - when I connect the phone to a USB volt meter it usually (but not always) shows a normal amount of amperage flowing, and just now when I tried to start the phone it showed the battery charge icon on the phone screen (it doesn't usually do this) and showed 100% charge.
Is there anything else I can try, even if just to get the phone running long enough to backup my text messages etc?
Is there any way to test what's actually wrong? I'd hate to spend money on a new battery or charging port etc for a slim chance to temporarily fix a phone that seems like it's dying.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions...
Hey, i've got the same problem since today. i was watching youtube videos when the phone suddenly stopped working. did you already find the problem?
Sorry for my bad englisch ( Dutch)
No - not solved, phone still dead. Still would love to hear any advice...
I used to have the exact same problem as you - bootloops at the LG logo, no recovery etc. After some reading it seemed that the battery was the root of the problem, and after replacing the battery my phone was back to life - no issues ever since. I recommend you check if the battery is the issue by connecting it to a normal charger (i.e. not charging from a PC) and powering it on, by holding the power button at the battery charging screen. If it powers on normally then it's most likely a battery issue, which can be easily fixed. Cheers!

Is it bricked or just battery

So the Xperia z3 will not start and it seems that it doesn`t charge, furhther it wont turn on.
Tried VOL+\- + Power button and the little button behind the SIM-Cover - no reaction
When I connect it with a (working) charging unit the LED will light up red and the display shows a battery-symbol filled red on the bottom (10%)for a few seconds, then it turns off and shows the same things (led and screeen). Well it is some kind of loop. I charged it for over 24 hours with different charging devices (up to >2A)
When I connect it to a PC the LED is dark blue. PC Companion says that the phone is locked and I schould unlock it, which is impossible as I am not able to turn the device on
Connecting it to the PC while holding the VOl- the PC Companion can do a software-repair and it says it works, but it doesn`t change the behavior of the phone.
I once got hands on an old Z3 wich showed the same behavior, it was just the battery. I changed the battery and it is now working fine again.
