help! MDA won't run on battery - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hello, please if anyone knows the solution to my problem:
I bought a Tmobile MDA from a person who just flashed it with a Tmobile demo rom v4.21
MDA works normally when on craddle (charger) but when on battery it goes dead after i press power button... So, when I take it off the craddle it works normally on battery (battery is supposed to be brand new) but once turned off, the screen blinks once and MDA is dead.
When I just put it on craddle for a second i can turn it on and it works normally again...even on battery...
He is out of town and will be back on friday. He sais that this is a software problem and will be solved by flashing with XDA developer ROM.
Could that be true? The battery seems to bi OK until I press the power button...
I tried flashing ROM via USB but I get error 011 - execute remote communication program error....
Please help...
Thx in advance

hi. this is very strange to me. The software doesn't cause this problem. my be you look around the connector if the one of the bin is bent or broken. I am not sure but if you think the software problem, go ahead and upgrade the rom.

Thanxs for reply.
but MDA works on battery until it turns off automatically (power save) or if I press power button... When on craddle, power button works normally...
I can make calls and everything on battery but when I turn it off - id goes dead ((

i dont know much about magician.. and also dont know this works in magician also.
Press "Power Button" + "Reset Button" then reflash!
Thanks. that's the first thing i've done, but it doesn't stop the vibration, and it wasn't recognized by my pc either.
The other night I had the shock of my life with my unit, but its a long story. Removing the battery for about 3 seconds did the trick for me.

Cingular 8125 Won't turn on or off using Power Button

My Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) was working perfectly until I noticed that amber charging indicator was not on when I plugged the charger into it.
Soon after finding this problem, I found bigger problem. It won't turn on or turn off when I press the power button.
Only ways to turn it on are to press the reset button or to pull out or push in mini SD card. Once it is on, the 8125 works fine. I set the 8125 "turn off device if not used for 1minute" in Battery Power setting for turning it off.
For some reason, amber charging indicator is now back on and the battery is charged OK and it lasts 3-4 days as it did before. But it still won't turn on or off.
I even tried Hard Reset but it didn't fix the problem.
Would it be simply a power button problem?
Has anyone had the same problem and found a cure for it?
Thanks for reading.
mine too
wierd just happened suddenly how did you get it to turn on again if you pull the battery? identicl symptoms anyone else? help!!!!
same problem..pls help
I am having the same problem on my phone. Did you guys fix the problem? Can some one please help.
1. Has it been dropped before?
2. Which charger, wall or USB?

Charmer wont turn on

this is my firends phone - tmobile cmpact 2 - its never been cooked, standard wm5 rom and no upgrades or downloads. it suddenyl today entered bootload screen - we took out the battery restarted, then it loads to the tmobile splash screen the cuts off, now it wont even turn on
tried charging it, and the charge light doesnt ocm eon, any ideas??
Thanks
anyone?..........................................
You have to enter bootloader mode (look up the wiki for how to) and then run the official rom upgrade for charmer.
my charmer is also dead
right in the middle of typing in an adress at iGO on my Charmer with WM5 it started rebooting and turned black after the T-Mobile bootscreen. And I could only turn it on by removing the battery, waiting for some minutes and then turning on again, just to see the same thing happening - black after T-Mobile screen.
Now I cannot turn it on at all, cannot reset (neither hard nor soft), cannot get into bootloader nor can I charge it (at least no LED is indicating anything).
Does anybody have an idea? vlodeck?
At the moment I am not at home, so I cann't try the original power supply (so far I used the one in the car).
Thanks in advance!
There are two possible outcomes Jared.
Either your power supply in the car is not enough to lift up Charmer.
Or your battery went totally dead, in which case you would have to buy a new battery.
Good luck.
Thanks for the fast support!
the strange thing is, that it all started with battery at about 80%...
I will check on sunday with the original power supply and a battery from another device. Then I will let you know the outcome.
I can lend you my battery, Jared!
...to see if it is really the battery.
Otherwise I can only recommend the HTC Kaiser ;-)
problem solved for now
thanks frikibaby for the offer...
but vlodeck was right. At home I pluged in the charger and it started charging and I can also turn it on again. So for some reason my car charger does not charge the charmer anymore although the indicator and the battery bar says so ...???
Thanks for the support!!

Got a non-working Magician

Hi,
a friend showed me his broken Magician (T-Mobile MDA Compact).
It did not turn on, no led, no nothing...
I plugged in my fully charged battery from my Charmer and connected it to my power supply, same thing.
I tried to enter boot loader (power, camera, reset pin), no reaction.
Any hope for this thing? Is there a sort of even "harder" reset?
Your phone may have 'bent' or broken battery terminas that aren't making contact.
Hi,
sorry I know this doesn't answer your question at all, but I was just wondering if you managed to get your Magician fixed in the end.
My daughter's SPV M500 recently stopped working, pretty much the same symptom, so I was wondering if you were successful in fixing it, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance!
Try this- open the back of the device, undo all the screws, open until you see the circuitboard. on one side (i can't remember which one) check the widest cable that connects to the circuitboard - undo the latch and pull it out, push it back in and close the latch, then try turning it on. that cable keeps coming out in mine.
The widest ribbon, is actually the LCD ribbon.
He would have still heard the introductory 'beep' if the unit was actually working (even if the LCD wasn't connected).
i got the same problem.....
i am surfing on the net of my XDA when it shutdown i thought it was a battery problem so i try to charged it but i've noticed that it didn't opened for a couple of hours of charging. i tried to reset but it didn't work. so i decide to hard reset my phone but again it did'nt work, and now my XDA II mini WM 6.1 is totally dead.... i also tried to flash my phone but the activesync of my phone cant detect my PC, and even rebooting my phone also did'nt work.
i've also noticed the redlight blink on the led for a seconds when i charged and unplug the charger...
