Help Htc desire had LEDs flashing

[Willthiswork]

Hey guys sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area....


So my dad recently got a sgs3 and gave his old desire hd to me, but I had no use for it and left it in my room, few days later I wanted to go on it so I won't to charge it, then after about five seconds in charge the LEDs start flashing red and green! Do i try turning the phone on...it works.. But when It gets to the start up screen ( where you do the slide to unlock ) it freezes and turns off!!

I've tried booting in safe mode, same thing, tried a different battery, same thing and put it in front of an ac for a bit.

Sorry just to put things in short, phones LEDs flash red and green when charging, phone crashes immediately when turned on, and tried new battery's etc....


Any solutions please !!!!!

Hello and welcome to the forums Willthiswork - thanks for joining!

How long has the phone not been in use? I guess that your dad had not been experiencing any issues? To be honest, this doesn't sound too good... you've already tried a different battery in it, which would have been the first thing I suggested.

Hang in there... I'm sure that one of our members will be able to offer some other suggestions. I will have a bit of a dig around, to see if I can find anything else for you!

When you turn on, does the phone vibrate? If so, how many times does it vibrate?

 

[Willthiswork]

Phone inactive for about one week and phone vibrates once when turned on.

When you plug the phone in to charge, do you get a solid orange light?

I have also contacted htc tech support, they tod me to master reset but it did not work...thanks for making me lose my thing htc!

For about five seconds then it stas flashing amber green

Right... found something for you about flashing between orange/green...

* Switch phone off
* Take out battery
* Check the Gold connectors, check for debris/dust.

The person who posted this, said that they'd found some tissue that was covering a couple of the connectors in the phone.


EDIT - last post in here... http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-general-discussion/battery-warning/

 

[Willthiswork]

Done that, no dust or debris, as for the connectors they are all in the same shape

 

[D-U-R-X]

Hmmm... hang in there... I'll have a bit more of a dig

 

[Willthiswork]

Ok thank you very much for the help

 

[D-U-R-X]

The connectors in the phone aren't bent (even slightly) out of shape are they?

 

[Willthiswork]

They are all in the same shape but I do not know what the connectors look like when the phone is new so I'm not sure

Not gonna be able to help you out tonight, but will try to come back to you tomorrow!

 

[Willthiswork]

Alright thanks anyway!

 

[Willthiswork]

Hope it helps...



Update:

When phone is turned on now all it shows now is a black screen!

 

[Willthiswork]

After spending two hours working on the phone last night I tried charging it the morning and it was actually charging! LEDs do not flash any more only getting the solid orange light like before! Phone turns on perfectly aswell.

Thank you for your help, and sorry for wasting your time.





I did a hard reset on both battery's, and stuck a bit of paper where the battery should go and moved it from side to side to get anything that was in there out.

 

[D-U-R-X]

No probs... sorry I couldn't give you an answer last night.

Glad all's working again

I'll bet it was something to do with the battery contacts on the phone
