    Arrow W880i blinking red when trying to power on, plug in charger etc..

    Hi everybody :D
    I bought a W880i 4 months ago which was locked to an operator, managed to remove the lock and use the phone successfully until yesterday.. when i swapped sim cards it wouldnt turn on anymore.. i read it might be the EROM that was corrupted? Tryed to hook it up to the computer via the DCU-60 usb.. but it just blinks red when i plug it in same as when i try powering it on.. SeTool can't find the phone.. nether XS++ wich shows a error.. (running vista..something about a dll file in xs++..)

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Ps. my battery works fine in my friends phone..

    If the infrared led is blinking, probably the EROM of the phone is corrupt.
    See this REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones - Top Sony Forums

    what do you mean the infrared? it's the Button C blinking red about 5-6 times? and nothing happens.. Tryed hooking it up to the computer but acts like it wasnt plugged in.. just blinks when i plug it in and no detection....

    Oops... my bad! I forgot that W880 doesn't have infrared port.
    But it's the same thing... if it's blinking red for 5 times, the EROM is corrupt. You have to repair the EROM. See the above link.
    Make sure the battery is charged. You could charge it with another phone.

    OK. So Your Phone Isnt Getting Detected By XS++. Use The Wotan Method At REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones - Top Sony Forums. It Should Work.
