Hello. I have the Sony c905a and a W580. Both phones do not work anymore.

 

When I plug in my phone to the wall charger, I get a blinking red light. The keyboard light comes on and there is a single vibration. Then, nothing happens.

 

Many years ago, maybe in 2011, I used a program to convert the c905a to a generic c905. It worked for a long time, then I packed it away in my drawer. Last week I tried to use it again, but it doesn't work. I bought a new battery, but it did not fix.

 

I tried to use a2uploader, but when I click IDENTIFY there is no response. I have tried holding C and I have tried holding 2,5. I have Gordons gate drivers installed.

Hello,

 

A2 Uploader should identify C905 with no problem. It's worth to check different working battery (new does not mean working), check keyboard connection if it's not dirty or oxidized, check fastport connector for the same, use different usb cable and usb 2.0 port directly on the main board of your computer, check if phone is detected in device manager...

 

 

When I plug in my phone to the wall charger, I get a blinking red light. The keyboard light comes on and there is a single vibration. Then, nothing happens.

 

Leave it on charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time phone should show Sony Ericsson logo and charging icon. If it's not, try to power it on, wait a few seconds then press center joypad button and menu buttons - it should start playing demo movie. If you can hear music / sounds but nothing is displayed on the screen, then i would inspect flex cable, connectors, screen connector...

 

Lot's of troubleshooting, good luck :)

 

Best regards,

Jurij
