It has been off for 4 days now. i bought it, it
worked fine, i was looking at something on the
phone it shut off by itself. i thought, oh okay it
died becausr of a dead battery.seeingas the
battery was below 15. i tried charging it, not
even a charging light, or anything came on.
black screen. however, if i hold the power
button, i see a red light like an led and it
fllashes every 5 seconds .it stopped, then i tried
taking the battery out and just chsrging the
phone, nothing. but, when you insert the
charger, the light flashes then is gone. this
phone is in great condition. no water damage, it
has only been used for 3 months before me.
the person took care of it. please help..also no
charging light shows if i plug it in. ive tried
everything.
 
Try a new battery or a wall wart (1amp) charger. I doubt the stock charger could even get the phone to boot on its own.
 
Did you ever get any luck with this phone? Did it ever come back to life? Also does the computer recognize your phone when connected? I'm asking because Im having the same problems but my charging light shows and the computer recognizes it but I still have just a black screen
 
A blinking red light means you have under 1% charge.

Either the battery is shot or your charging port is shot.

Ask to try a new battery and see if it charges at the store.

If it doesn't power up then your battery connection in the phone is blown.
If it powers up but doesn't charge your sub port is shot.
If it powers up and charges your old battery is dead.

Process of elimination ftw
 
Mine does this. All you have to do is plug it up and continually press the power button until it turns on but don't do anything on the phone because it needs time to charge or it'll cut back off.
