Hey. I got problem with my Xperia X8. I cant turn it on. When I press power/lock button, red light turns on and off 3 times. I already changed motherboard for a new one but it didnt help. I think its battery problem but Im not sure. Also, when i connect it to PC, red light turns on every 3-4 second. I dont know what it means. Any solutions? Seus and SE PC Companion wont see my phone. Thanks.

You can try it to put into flash mode, connect to USB and press and hold back button until the green led turns on, if it can get into flash mode i think motherboard is not the problem, also try geting in a new battery. If neither od that works, than it's some hardware failure.
At least you can try that, I don't know.

Well, Getting into a flash mode dont work. Also I took battery from Xperia X10 mini pro and I tried to connect it. My phone vibrates after pressing power button. Nothing happens after this. Also I tried holding back button with this battery.

If ur battery is fully charged,and then also its not opening up..then it seem some problem is there with battery itself..

Hmm...I don't know, try with the X8 battery, if it doesn't work, then go to official service.
If you rooted your mobile phone then you're f***ed up, because your waranty will be void.
If you can not go to flash mode and get your phone back to original unrooted software, you will have to pay the service.

If you are 100% sure that you installed stock firmware from SEUS, than you have your waranty back ( if you have it still ) and go to your official service to repair your phone. Yet, if your waranty has expired than pay te service.

i had the same problem a week or two ago, i was tethering with barnacle, and suddenly my connection was lost (my phone was charging in my laptop)...

when i checked my xperia (i was downloading stuff so i was tethering for something like 4-5 hours) the device was very hot and with the same probles previouly described (blinking in red, not turning on, etc)....

i was very scared, waited for a while until the temperature was cooler and the i plugged to the wall for an hour or so... without an answer, suddenly the charge icon appeared (phone turned off)... and it got in perfect shape again...

the other day i was using barnacle again and i looked at the phone (charging with my laptop again) and i discovered that it was again draining even when charging so i decided to charge in the wall and it was ok... :)

Charging with a wall charger dont work. Tried many things. Now only changing battery can help me. If not, I will need to leave it in service so they could repair it...

Okay, so I made a small step. I managed to charge battery so now everytime I want to turn on battery, my phone vibrates and while its vibrating for half of second there is green light. After this nothing happens. I can change firmware without any difficulty, but its not helping. Tried with SEUS, SE PC Companion and Flashtool. What to do now?
