HTC Windows Phone 8S: HTC Windows Phone 8s not charging properly

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 04:30:59 -0700

Hey guys,

I really need help with my HTC Windows Phone 8s. One or two years ago, i stopped using it, so i powered it off as usual and kinda forgot about it. Now i broke my new phone a couple of days ago and wanted to use the HTC again - but it doesnt respond to anything at all. No matter what i do, it will not vibrate, the screen will not turn on, ne notification LED stays dark.

Then i tried to "reset the charging logic" by pressing and holding down power+vol up+vol down for two minutes as suggested here:

Device will not power on after battery ran dry?

After i did that, still nothing. so i thought, maybe removing the battery could help. so i did, and when i plug it in without the battery the amber coloured notification LED will come on for half a second or so, then go off again leaving the phone unresponsive to whatever action. When i plug the battery back in and then plug the phone into the wall charger again, the notification LED will again switch on in an amber color for about half a second, no response afterwards. However, if i try to do it again with the battery plugged in, the LED will NOT come on again. In order to archieve that i have to unplug the battery and plug just the logic board in. I also tried this with one brand new battery and the original one because i thought the battery might be faulty.

If anyone is able to help that would be very very highly appreciated.

Cingular 8125: Can' get into phone because capacitative buttons won't let me enter pw

Wed, 22 Apr 2015 15:41:36 -0700

I put a password on the lock screen to protect my phone. At some point the keypad buttons (capacitative) stopped working correctly. Press a 3, the 9 works. The 5 doesn't work at all, etc. As a result I can't get into my phone at all, and can't use it. I believe the phone works fine otherwise. ATT told me I would have to send the phone back to HTC and it wasn't worth the price. That was years ago. I'd like to donate the phone and wondering if there is a way now I could fix this myself. I've done several hard resets, but I worry about contact information left on the phone. I appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.
