Red LED means the battery isn't connected or the device can't charge.
Try taking the battery out for a few hours and try to switch the device on again.
My brother in-law had the red LED issue too, we solved it by 'kick starting' the battery with two wires and a 9v battery. (At your own risk of course).

Good luck!

Red Led doesn't mean that the battery is not connect with the device. It simply means the cover is not properly intact. Try taking out the battery off the device, put it back in the slot. Place the cover carefully and completely. And then connect the device to AC power supply. It would definitely come *alive* :)

so cover is ok...it seems to be properly fixed, even the smal swithch that create some unwanted crash few months ago is now working properly...
i made a 1 h long phone call with battery and charger (usb from pc) and after line felt down, bluetooth led blue on (was off) and screen with phone but no changement by touching it. so switch off by power off and ...dead...now without battery but with charger (or usb from PC) RED led on. With batttery AND charger RED on, and with battery all dead. i cannot reset anyhow with or without battery /charger....need it...sh*t.....(ops...sorry)

what I will suggest is, you should get a new battery instead!!:cool:

Both my wife and me got a Magician. Hers is dead now - same symptoms.

First guess was dead battery as well. But I exchanged it with mine fully loaded. No difference!

Usually when you plug the powercord into the device orange flashes up and device boots. Here nothing happens.

I'll have some electrician have a look at both. Maybe he can find the fault by comparison. But I don't expect a lucky outcome.

on back side of ur device when u remove the battery cover, u see a small black switch on the right side just next to the battery.
put the device on charge..with cover off---it will show red light contunuously on.
now manually press gently that black switch and see if ur device starts to charge.
if u see a yellow light any point of time doing this u may have to get this little switch repaired or do a temporary work urself by kepping it at place manually bu something.
try and tell

I think we all knew about that little switch. But thanks for your thoughts.

Anyway, hers is running again!

Two days ago I took it fully apart. No obvious fault noticeable. I left it the way it was now to prepare it for shipping. Today my wife asked me I should try it just once again. So I held the battery on the connector and plugged the USB cable and then: it booted!

But the internal battery doesn't seem to recover. It stays at 0% (1h "charging" since then).

I have to correct myself: Even the internal battery is charging (but it takes its time).
