Sony Xperia Z1 Compact cannot power up, red LED blinking problem

Stopped working one day after switching the SIM card. It cannot power on anymore. When connected to power source, the red LED blinks steadily. Solution: My phone was under warranty and I had to take it to Sony's repair center. They replaced the main board.

I want to say thank you for this video. You gave me the hint of looking at the SIM card. I simply pulled it out, and it came back on with the reboot message.

Your battery connection may have come loose, use hairdryer over the back of the phone to soften the sticky adhesive. Then remove the back cover and inspect the battery connection, worked for me mine was disconnected

1.Install Xperia Companion on PC
2.Select 'Software Repair'
3.Connect the phone with Volume - button pressed on when asked.(follow the instructions)
4.Let it finish the Software restoration


Worked in 2020 😎

Hello Guys! I had the exact same problem on Xperia Z2 it wouldn't turn on, when plugged into AC Charge just red light blinked again and again. SOLUTION > I removed the back of the phone, unpinned the battery connector and then pinned it again. After this I pressed 'Power Button' + 'Volume up and down' keys at the same time (Three keys) for about 10 secs and by miracle phone turned on with the battery of about 60%. Hope it works for you too.

Sony sucks. Xperia Z5 Premium just died after software upgrade and reboot. Same failure symptom. I will need to send it for a repair. Just about 6months of usage. Havent gone underwater.

As a side note ... I also think the photo image quality is really bad.

Bye-bye Sony.

TRUE I'VE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ALL XPERIA PHONES?

[eeeebee]

I think it has something to do with the battery and the power source outlet

[nunamustafa]

I just have that problem too.. you need to push power off button plus volume up and down in same time until it vibrate..mine just turn on

[entnixe]

just solve it.. i just open the back case.. then.. open the battery circuit. press the power.. to lose the extra volt.. then.. put it back.. charge it.. it works.

I have the same problem with my Xperia Z2, it won’t turn on and I’ve tried everything and it won’t charge

I took the sim card, memory card and the back cover off. I then removed the battery. Put the battery back in.Plugged in the charger and boom, it starts working 😀.
