My Xperia M Dual C2004 won't turn on! A red light blinks/flashes 3 times..... Please help

garvmaggu — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 08:43:44 GMT

I switched off my phone last night. Then I switch on it. When I press and hold the power button, it vibrates but nothing displays and no respone (black screen). My battery was 95%. Then, today when I tried to switch it on, a red light flashes 3 times. I tried many times but the same problem. I charged it for 3 hours but same problem and I also tried Volume Up + Power Button but it also fails. Please help me.... Please...

Have you tried to repair your phone using Sony PC Companion? Be sure to backup everything you can before you try it. Does Sony PC Companion recognize your phone when you connect it?

Hi garvmaggu

if you have desktop computer, then remove battery and replace it back , connect the phone to back of your computer USB, press and hold the volume up button for few seconds then press power button, you can feel vibration on phone, release the buttons, and see you able to see anything on screen.

Replace it back means put it back where you took it from (plug it back into the phone).

When I press power button, a red light flashes three times. When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens (no vibration, nothing on screen). PC Companion is also not able to detect my phone. Update Service is also not detecting my phone. Phone doesn't go to fastboot or flashmode. Also Volume Up + Power button combination for 20 seconds failed.

To alexdon,

Update service is not able to detect my phone, so I can't repair because my phone doesn't go to flashmode.
