Red LED when plugged in, NO LED unplugged. Will not turn on

[viper498]

Does this mean my battery is dead? I pulled it out of my briefcase this morning, and it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in to the wall and it powered up and sync'ed up (at least my data is backed-up), I left it plugged in so it could charge and when I came back to it, it was dead, just a red LED on the right side, and thats it. I've removed the battery and reinserted, which didn't do anything. Do I need a new battery?

Thanks for any info,
Brock

I am getting a similar thing and I bought it used about two nights ago. Mine occasionally turns on, but 'bombs' out again if used too long

I too have started having this problem since the weekend! My phone constantly shows the red light whenever on charge with cradle or direct from wall!!!!

Help please!

the red light used to show that the battery are low, you got message or got miss call.... try to check all that first or try to soft reset once....

Thats the problem though, the battery has run flat and whenever I put it onto the cradle to recharge the red light just comes on. If I put the battery directly into the cradle the red light comes on the front of the cradle. This is happening with both of batteries.

Last time the battery on my phone went flat enough for the red light to come on it took 48 hours constant charging before it started to work again...

Maybe your phone has a short in the charging circuit, the battery or the part of the PCB where the battery connections meet the main circuit?

I had this problem with mine.

i left the battery out for about 24hrs..
then put battery back in and left phone to charge for 24hrs..
it then turned on and has been fine since

this things happened when the backup battery is completly dead or dischargd i used to have this problem but i opened the xda2i and recharge the backup battery "ofcourse i took it out "and it has no problem since only that the battery metter is working weird so the problem is that ur backup battery is completly discharge
how to fix this easier just let the xda in the craddle 24 hours with the main battery on it should work unless is blocked the u need to take the + from the backup battery out and put it back on after a few mins and that's it u got ur xda2i working again!!
