My Excalibur is Dead!!!

[rimwrecker]

There's the history:

I was talking to a friend, and my Excalibur ran out of battery, then, I tried to turn it on again, it started but got stuck on the Windows Mobile screen, then the screen turn out black and the red light (low battery) keep on blinking. It didn't respond at all, so I pulled out the battery, when I inserted it again, my Excalibur didn't turned on, and has been like this since that day...

Any ideas??? I need help please!!!:confused:

Have you tried doing a hard reset?
Sometimes it helps, charge your battery first
Here how

Hard Reset Procedures
Press Start -> Accessories -> Clear Storage, press enter to launch, you will be prompted to type "1234" and to press Enter. If you do this you will lose all contents and the Dash will be restored to its original configuration. It takes about 5 minutes for it do this and reboot.
If you are locked up and can't get to the Clear Storage utility, turn the phone off; hold down the two softkey menu select buttons (above the home and <- buttons); press power on while still holding the buttons down and follow the prompts on the screen. Timing is critical on the latter option, so if you miss it once, try again.

You prob need to replace your battery. These batteries usually only last 12 to 18 months however i made mine last 28 months before i replaced mine last week. My phones behaviour was the same as yours until after i replaced the battery,

My phone doesn't turn on, so I can't do the Hard or Soft reset thing, anyway I've tried to do the Hard Reset, but the phone doesn't answer.

I tried with other battery, and the results were the same, I don't know what to do...

did you try to get into bootloader mode?
you basically press and hold your camera button and while holding the button, plug your device into your PC via USB cable which if not entirely dead, should give you the 3 color screen. If you do get this, you must then install your stock rom that came with the phone. Then once thats done if you want to install another custom ROM, you can.

I'm gonna give it a try, but if it doesn't work, I think is a serious problem, isn't???:confused:

I tried the bootloader process, but what i get is a flash of the red led (low battery) when I connect the phone to USB, with no battery. If I do that with the battery on it nothing happens. Any ideas???

[pudgedaddy]

either you have a case of bad batteries, or theres a hardware issue with the connectors on your battery housing

[rimwrecker]

So, does the red light flash mean something??? It flashes when I connect my Excalibur to my PC without battery, if I don't remove the battery, nothing happens...

Thanks...:(
