Xperia Arc S Seemingly Dead

captainowesome — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 05:26:57 GMT

Hi, A couple of weeks ago, my Xperia Arc S was heating up fairly hot towards the earpiece area, then after a couple of days of using it without charging the battery went flat (which is quite normal).

However when I went to charge it, the phone doesnt seem to charge at all, no leds flash or turn on (I have also tried using different chargers). And when I try to turn the phone on, nothing happens, no vibration, no sony screen, nothing.

I have also tried to plug it in to my PC Companion but the computer doesnt pick it up.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Try this

Remove the battery > press and hold power for 5 seconds > connect the phone to a wall charger > place the battery back on > let it charge for 2 to 3 hours > after 2-3 hours try to turn it on again
