phone wont turn on

donegal.

the missus has a Sony xperia T a year ago.
For the last week it keeps randomly turning off , doesn't matter how charged it is. And today it won't turn on at all.

When its plugged in the red led lights up and when you try to turn it on the red light blinks.

Any ideas what to do about it ?

You could try taking out battery and leaving it for a good while. Probably won't do anything but there's not much else you can do.

This model of phone doesn't have an easily removed battery.

have you tried resetting the phone and software update?
generally and i dont mean to be rude but sony make gawd awful phones and they all glitch and that might be time for upgrade

I also have problems with sony phones my Xperia J freezes alot brought it back too the shop they sent it back to the makers it came back in a couple of days i was told not to buy sony again even do i spent 150euro only last september.would love to get my nokia 6230 phone back again.

the experia J suffers with mother board problems and that phone really is one of the worst ones that Sony make along with the tipo and really all them are the same to be quite honest

i have the 4 myself, but i dont think the mrs will use it as much. all she need is basic smarphone functions +camera +looks pretty.

To turn it off press the power button and the volume down button (or volume up- try the other if first one doesn't work) at the same time for about 20/30 seconds, this will do a reset, but you won't lose any data.

If you buy the Moto g, you won't regret it.....

functional and beautiful display,

camera ~ but OK, typical smartphone mid range.

pretty is in the eye of the beholder.

Its just very good, no fil dal's, proper Android.
