Avrumi you are like two years late to the webOS party...besides that it won't turn on, you do know it's a dead ecosystem with no further app development, support, hardware, nothin'. Right? what was left of webOS was open sourced by HP and then bought by LG who turned it into a 'smart TV' operating systemas much as I loved webOS, if all you need is "a phone" I'd look for something else...

Does it have afresh battery? Did you install the battery, did you press the power button on top right corner of phone, did the phone give some indication of life when it was charging like a lightneing bolt - sorry silly questions but just in case! Also powering directly off the wall instead of a UBS is much faster

You could try combination button pushes. I had this happen to an earlier Pre phone the first day I owned it. A call to tech service suggested a hard reset. I think the combo was to hold down the power button and then press volume up three times. That might just get it going if it's not a dead battery issue.

Unfortunately, I can't help on this one. After I received the new battery - ahead of schedule, I might add - I determined that it was not a battery failure which caused my cell phone to fail. It was the phone itself. Sorry I cannot help.

Well, actually, mine wont turn on, but I hear that's a good thing. There's a little door on the back your have to pry off. If I remember right, its smaller than a matchbook cover. Behind it there's an on/off switch. Keep your fingers crossed that it works. Mine phone has worked fine except the ringer btw.

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.

hi, i had the same problem after two days use and i contact the product vendor to return the phone but they told me that the warranty period had expired (at the time the courier takes the device to my country) and they could not accept the phone back. I could only qualify them negatively and try to contact the sony directly

Um. Sorry for reply back so late too you. Daniel. Um. I had that problem with my phone, and thought is was the Gorilla Gadgets battery. It pissed me off. But you might have too take the phone down and tell them that you need another head peace and a cord to get a better charge. In the mean try this. Take the battery out of your phone, and wait for 60 seconds then try the battery again. Let me know what happens. I will check back your reply.

If you have a portable battery charger, try charging it there for 8 hrs, then put it in phone and see if it works. If you continue to receive that error just return it and they'll send a new one :)

same thing happened to me and I have Droid Bionic. The battery does not work. Don't buy from this seller.

Alexis, I am not around my tablet at this time; but I believe somewhere around or next to the power button, there's a very, small hole, big enuff for a paper clip or a pin. Press lightly and it should reset the tablet. Please make sure tablet is "fully" charged...meaning that it really takes an hour to three to be charged appropriately. If these two solutions don't work, contact technical support at the url on the lower right-hand corner of your manuals cover. Good luck and this worked for me.Oh, Google Play Store isn't on my tablet...had to use 1mobile.com for Android market.

Are you sure the charger works? If it's charged it should start. That happened to us. WE used an old NOkia charger from a previous phone, and it charged up.

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.

You may have to turn it on by pressing both the hold and lock button at the same time for ten seconds. I had the same issue and this worked for me. :)

From what I recall the package stated hold it down for 5 seconds to turn on. If it's literally a minute and you're not over exaggerating then is not normal. Try double tapping it, thats how my turns on. Good luck.

Im not sure. Try turning it on and letting it charge up. Maybe it needed the day to charge. Both mine work.
