boot up to the bootloader (when turned off: vol up+power button long press), and after that connect to pc. maybe this way it will recognize your phone. does the white led light up when connected to pc?

volume UP not down the triangle with the exclamation mark is the stock recovery, you can access that by pressing vol up+down at the same time at the triangle. the bootloader is a terminal-like black screen. but be careful: without any working rom you cant charge your phone, and if the battery is low, you cannot flash anymore. good luck!

You verified the CG version before flashing the full SBF ??
you can still flash a new rom threw rsd lite.
I would say you done the same as me I tried to flash a version with a lower version and it wouldnt boot at all.
Power the phone on holding the volume up button and connect the USB, It wont show the bootloader screen but RSD lite should say its connected.
You might have to plug it in and out of the usb cable a few times (well I did) till RSD lite connects to it.
You will have to find out what version you had previously and flash the same version or higher (try to stay on the same version if you can)
Dunno if stock recovery would help:
How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything
This is a copy/paste from all in one guide
if its like mine the screen does not show anything, you cant get into bootloader or recovery screen. Well I think it goes into bootloader as RSD lite can read it but it will not show anything on the screen.
I think my problem was trying to install the CM9 kernel as I used the same process and left out flashing the CM9 kernel and it worked perfect, Lucky some one that helped me get my phone working again suggested this to me.
So I now have ICS working by just installing it and Gapps and left out the CM9 kernel
Not sure if that is what you are trying to do but you should be able to flash a new rom with what I said above. Just making sure its the same BL version as your previous install
Thz for all your help,I can fix my defy+ since I using bl7 sbf
I think I will root it and flash other rom soon

are u able to go in Boot loader MOD?
press Volume+ key and Power on the phone..
it will go to BL Mod CONNECT PHONE TO PC VIA USB open RSD Lite
then RSD Lite will Recognize your phone
then flash your SBF
1.Download RSD lite v5.3.1 or later version and install it.
2.Download MotoDev USB drivers from here (http://bit.ly/K59zlZ and install it.
3.Turn off your phone
4. Hold down Volume Down and Power button for your phone to enter Stock Recovery.
5. Press both Volume buttons at the same time for the options to appear.
6. Do wipe cache.
7. Do wipe data/factory reset.
8.Take your battery out.
9.Hold Volume Up and Power button and put the battery back in while holding the buttons - your phone will start in Bootloader mode.
10.Connect the phone which is now in the Bootloader mode to the PC.

18. Install SndInit for defy+ from here.http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachd...itDefy_2.3.apk

It might won't show up but try this..
Press volume+ & Power button. Even if the screen remains blank, connect it to RsdLite. If it shows up in RsdLite, flash the SBF.
If it doesn't, then unfortunately, its bricked.

Seems your problem is flashing sbf with too low CG version - sbf u mentioned is CG5 Chinese eclair. Depending of what u had before u can install CG6 or CG7 sbf from this site

Do you mean clockworkmod? If you're rooted, you can install cwm for Defy.
--Just understood your question. Do you get stuck on M logo when startup? Are you able to enter cwm (press volume button when you see a blue led on startup)? If so then try to clear cache/dalvik.. If that doesn't helps and you still have CM9 zip and kernel zip on sdcard, then flash those. That should get you going. Worse case is you flash a sbf via rsdlite if nothing works.
My phone is stuck on M logo, my phone is rooted and no red or others colors of led light, just stuck on M logo. i just want to enter my boot menu pls give me d way to enter boot menu.i tryed to connect my phone on my PC but didnt usb detect so RSD is not detect my phone and i didnt install SBF file

To flash a SBF you need to hold Vol up & Power button.
You will enter Motorola Bootloader
From there connect your phone to your PC with USB
Open RSD Lite
Load the SBF (Make sure it's the right one for your phone..)
Flash
When you turn on the phone, do you get the blue/green LEDs? If yes, press vol down button at blue led,and you get into clockworkmod menu, and you can reflash your cm 9...

He doesn't have any LED lights, therefore CWM recovery isn't installed. An SBF should be flashed.

Pull the battery and reinsert it while holding Vol-Down. This usually works as a power-up.
Do it while connected to a PC. The PC should sound the "device connected" sound.
If the white LED comes on, it usually means the phone is OFF and charging. No LED usually means it's ON and in BL mode (you should get the white text on black screen, but you won't if you have flashed a 'bad' SBF).
Try this a few times.
If nothing else is broken you should be able to get into BL mode and flash an SBF.
But your power button needs to be mechanically fixed at some stage, or your phone isn't going to be much use.

now can you turn on your phone? the power btn works?
try flashing official sbf , root and 2nd-init again.
p.s make sure you have above 20% batt or you gonna spend your time just like me plugging the defy mobo directly to 5 volts.

Doesn't bootmenu (Recovery) give you option to reboot into Bootloader? If so, do this and flash an SBF.

OK so if the phone will boot into recovery it SHOULD also boot into bootloader ?
Maybe I confused OP by saying hold "Vol Down" when I meant "Vol UP" ???
Anyway, OP will probably not get too far without a functional Power button.

Are you SURE? I have had Bootloader work even though nothing shows on screen (when I flashed the wrong SBF). The screen was black but RSD could still "see" the device.
Defy has a locked bootloader (cannot be overwritten), so the fact that you can boot into recovery indicates the bootloader is still there and working. Maybe the problem is in your version of RSD Lite, or your version of drivers installed on the PC, or in your USB cable?
Try uninstalling the drivers from the PC, then rebooting, then attaching the phone and insert battery while holding Vol-Up. This SHOULD reinstall the BL drivers to the PC. Try another USB cable - I have had cables which work for charging but not for data transfer.

Can you boot into bootloader? (Power + Volume up)
Install motorola drivers for pc, install rsd, enter the bootloader with power+volume up buttons like xiihyou said, then connect your phone via usb to pc and start the rsd proces flashing....
Should Help
The same happen to me , solution is simple .....
Just Install drivers ( HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585)
Pull out battery, now put it back with Power button and Volume up pressed together
you should be in bootloader mode
Now choose the right SBF file for your Phone .....
After you Defy boots up, Shut it down -> wipe data and cache ( Press Power button and Volume Down)
And now your mobile should be OK
