LT30 will not turn on & has green light?

[Jinxy]

Hi all,

My mobile started switching itself off yesterday, I thought it was a low battery at first so i threw it on charge. Now it won't turn on at all. The green light is on all the time, I can't get the computer to reconise the phone at all and when I call it, it goes staight to voicemail.

Any ideas anyone???

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Have you tried to force a restart/shutdown by holding down the ON/OFF + volume up(+) for 5-10 seconds? Do this when your phone is not connected to any kind of power source.

Yes, tryed that. No joy. With and without cable being pluged in. Tryed plugging it into my laptop and my PC, both do not reconise the phone.

Okay, I suggest that you try to perform a software repair on your phone via our program PC Companion:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/

In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.

Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.

It will not let me complete the action. I can get the phone to shut down by following the instructions, but the minute I plug the wire into the phone the green light comes back on again and the computer does not proceed to the next step. Even without doing the complete recovery the phone has had a bit of improvement. The only down side to it now it seems to be that it runs a bit slow and freezes now and then. I have tried several times to do the complete reboot but encounter the same problem.

The action suggestions only worked for a while, until I finaly gave up on my LT30. It was only two and a half years old and I feel a bit peed off considering the price of phones today. So my hand was forced and I had to get a contract, Aqua M4. Under two months old and I can't get it to switch on??? Really??? I am a strong believer in what you pay for is what you get, but for an item that is allegedly worth a few hundred quid only to last no more than two years is a joke! Not everyone wants that new thing, quality, not quantity SONY.
