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!!!!

I am tryin to turn on my mda but it does not. i lest it on charge for almost 2 days and it still dosent turn on . i tried the soft reset and hard reset but still no help. i press the power switch but nothing happens. While the mda is on charge it does show me the red light lit on the led . Any help appreciated
I had a similar problem with my MDA; except the red light on the MDA wouldn't light up during charging. T-Mobile initially send me a new MDA; but it turned out to be a bad battery ... the MDA will not operate without a fucntional battery, even when connected to a charger. They sent me a new batter and my MDA was working again. For some reason my battery must have shorted out.
Hi All,
Got a problem with a Mini. The unit will not power on. It doesn't appear to charge either. When I remove the battery, and re-insert, I hear a "click" noise but nothing after that.
The LED does not light when power is connected.
It does not hard reset.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sonny
Update
Ok, here's an update to the above post.
When the battery is inserted and the back cover is off, the LED on the top glows red. When the back cover is put on, the LED turns off.
The unit will not work from external power with or without the battery installed.
Does this help?

Must be someone out there that can help?
got the same problem...
see if you can try another battery, mine does not power on without the battery in anymore. The back cover must be on before you can power it on and the red light means that it is charging but there is not enough charge to turn on.
same prob. here...
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 notice that everytime i charge and unplug the charger of my phone the redlight blink on the "led?"(correct me if i'm wrong) for a seconds...
Same here. My phone is dead when I'm trying to flash it. Now it's totally dead. Is there a way to fix this?

you try a hard reset by pressing the camera button and soft reset power simultaneously
Hi guys,
I really need help for this. My XDA ATOM (not the exec type) is currently dead when I forgot to charge the battery when I'am on trip to somewhere far from electricity.. I have tried to charge the battery over and over again but every time i push the "ON" button the screen just goes blank. The only thing happen when I push the "ON" button is that the lights in the "call" and "put call" buttons goes blipping. Nothing else.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset and take the battery out for a while and put it back. But nothing seems to work.
Any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated..
you have to charge with desktop charger.
Atom won't detect the present of battery, if battery voltage below 3V. So you can't charge when inside atom.
Put in in desktop charger, when charged put it back and recharge inside your atom.
hi,
anybody got the problems that the HD turns itself off automatically. Then when you press the powerbutton it won't turn on. You have to take out the battery and put it back,then it will turn on.
The power-button work fine and you can turn it on/off with the power button, but after a while problem occure again, and you have to take out the battery to turn it on. This is the first time it happens to my HD, I have a European HD and am using it in USA, could that be the cause of the problem ?
Will see if the problems occure when I'm back home, but just wanted to know if any other have had the same problem.

Sounds like your connection between battery and phone is faulty.
When you first insert battery connection is good but after a period of time this connection becomes loose.
There has been a few other threads regarding this if you do a quick search.
My recommendation would be to take phone back and get a replacement
That's not a battery problem. I have the same problem sometimes. If u press the reset button, whitout touching in the battery, the HD turns alive.
I guess that is a software/firmware problem.
Guys, just check here, we had similar problems too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happened to me 3 days after i first got it, the supplier gave me a new phone. I think it is the button itself that is faulty, it's as if it is pressed constantly. Do u also get the message that your phone will be turned off when you turn it on by reinserting the battery?
no, I don't get any message when I reinsert the battery.
I back in europe now, and have changed the phone setting to GSM and not had the problem for 2 days now.
have tried to press the power button a couple of times but can't recreat the error I had. so just going to see how it works in the coming days.
Hey Everyone,
Just recently encountered this problem with my old DVP. When turn on or plugged in the screen appears on (at night it looks like its powered) but nothing comes on the screen and the keyboard lights up (and remains lit). I cannot turn the phone off from this state without removing the battery. I had assumed the phone to have a dead battery at first but it's not clear that it does have a charge since the keyboard will stay lit forever.
I have tried to leave the phone charging over night, didn't fix anything... I have also tried leaving the phone unplugged with the battery out for a time to see if it needed a power cycle of sorts... Didn't work.
I see a bunch of people with the "not turning on" problem but this is different since the keyboard turns on and I've tried charging it for a long time. I also tried one person's suggestion of holding the power button until the keyboard turns off briefly then release and press power again to get it to restart. When doing that, I can't even get the keyboard to turn off briefly, could hold the power button for 2 minutes and it still won't turn the keyboard off. I can get the screws out of the phone to take it apart if need be (I did the memory card upgrade so my warranty is already void)...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

I have the same issue like you and don't know how to fix, ****!
