Hey guys, i was trying to post this as a reply to this thread but i wasn't allowed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...6IKs71WjSjTXIwm-IHR22AOFfOB0nVMc86EX1986seHCY
So, this morning i woke up to finnd my phone (wich had been charging the whole night) not turning on and with a white led blinking (short flashes, not long ones as in notifications). I don't know if it was just the screen or if it was off, but it wasn't warm or anything. Anyway, i tried turning it on, connect to my pc, switched charger, and nothing happened, i held power + Vol Down, nothing happened. Also tried Vol Up, no results. But when i held longer, it vibrated 3 times (sign of hard reset) and the LED stopped blinking, and i kind of died. I'm assuming its a soft brick.
But i don't know what caused the first symptoms, or what the blinking white LED means. I'm also not sure if i should follow the procedures on the link i mentioned, knowing that i made the hard reset after it was blinking. Im hoping all i have to do is wait for the battery to drain, and it finally turns on asking to charge.
Any thoughts of what i should do? I don't know if i keep it off any power source and wait, or try to recover it as the link suggests.
Thanks! I hope you guys can help me out.

Today I noticed, while having my phone in a pocket, that it vibrates. Thought it was an sms or something but after I pulled it out, the screen was black. And kept on restarting itself in like 10 second intervals. Then the screen got stuck black with backlight on. Now I cannot power it on. It does it by itself randomly. No way to enter bootloader. After pressing hard buttons I randomly get a vibration feedback. Tried 2 different batteries. If I plug the charger in, no light comes up. After maybe 20 minutes on charger it gets warm (not where the battery is but above where the radio is).
Anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas would be more than greatly appreciated!!!!

Try this,
Turn off phone, push volume down and plug in the usb cable to your computer, don't turn it on, if the hardware is ok, tricolor should appear.

Thanx for the tip. My phone, however, resurrected by itself in the middle of night after it did hard reset by itself. So I used raphdiag and reloaded new rom. Hope to never see this again!
Hi. I have searched for a good hour or so. I found stuff on black screen after a pleathera of other things but not after your battery died. I was texting from my phone and the battery died. Since then, it will not turn back on. Well, it turns on because it is vibrating and when I try to do the power button, volume button thingy...the green light goes on and it vibrates, but still nothing on the screen. when I have it plugged into the charger, I can see a light in the background but as soon as I unplug it, the light goes off...can you help or direct me to the correct thread. I really did try looking for the solution but all that I see are things that have happend while trying to update or etc. thank you

I did read somewhere a while back that somebody else had this issue. They just took it to att and told them their battery died and their phone won't turn on. They will give you a new battery to try. A new battery fixed it for the guy in the article I read.
Firstly I'd like to apologise if this is in the wrong place!
I have sat in front of me a Sony Xperia J. It will not power up. At charging it flashes a red LED. Even after 2 hours wall charging it did not move onto the next cycle of charge.
I was given the phone to attempt repair for a friend, they think the screen is broken (no cracks). At an earlier charge attempt the LED turned orange. I went to power on and it vibrated once and did not power up.
Im beginning to think it might be bricked. Ive tried various power button combos to no avail. If anyone could point me in the right direction id be grateful!
Thanks
PC companion keeps telling me there is a connection issue but my PC does pick up that there is something plugged in.
Was accessing dual recovery to wipe for a clean slate and it had a sudden death. The charging LED was no longer lit. Left the phone alone for about 2 weeks to let it drain but no response. Decided to order another battery for testing thinking it may have been bad, still no response. What I did notice is that if the battery is removed and the charger is connected, the LED blinks red constantly. However, if I were to attach the battery connector the LED will stop blinking after a few seconds. Is this an issue with the motherboard itself or can there something be done to bring it back to life?
*Update*
Let it charge for a couple of hours. Still not turning on but getting some response at least. The phone will now vibrate in sets of 3's if I hold down Power and Volume +. When trying to charge, the red LED will come on for 5 seconds then off every 5 seconds. When connected to the PC, it shows as unidentified USB, but the sound of it being disconnected is constantly going off. Not sure if anyone knows how I should proceed from here...

Hi my phone is a D6603 and i was having a very and inusual problem like you Sudden death with some response vibrating in sets of 3's. My problem was resolve when i remove the sim then press the reset button 2 times in a row but slowly and the phone was starting again
I dont remember if it was or not conected try both ways
Back up your files and start working to keep it warm and dry, remember that it can be water damage. I downloaded minergate and began to mine in easy difficulty so that it would not become slow, but at the same time to keep it warm. It is only to dry if it was damaged by water, I do not recommend anyone to mine with a smartphone xD
Hello all,
on friday night my Samsung S6 Duos just died and it seems I'm not able to revive it...
it was running out of charge (was at 5-10% battery)...then suddenly the screen went black and the red led was blinking every second or so...
I thought it was just hung like it happened sometimes, so I tried to reset it pressing vol down+power or home+power buttons, but nothing happened....screen still black and red led flashing....
so I thought it was some kind of battery problem...tried to recharge but nothing changed...no battery icon on screen and red led flashing (not solid as when it is charging...)...
so, since battery cannot be pulled off I waited till complete discharge hoping that would reset it....waited till led was not flashing anymore, then I tried to recharge but nothing is happening....led not becoming red as when it's charing, nor display is showing battery charging....
actually nothing happens, I've tried to leave it charging several hours, both with power cord and with wireless charget, but it just doesn't charge and doesn't power up anymore...also tried to connect it to PC but nothing happens...
do you think that opening it and trying to disconnect and reconnect battery could solve? or maybe changing battery?
or is it probably a fault in the motherboard?
I just want to recover photos and other data saved on its memory but if it's motherborard issue I think everything's lost...right? 'cause memory chips are on it...or am I wrong?
thanks for any hints or suggestions on how to recover if possible...
