Hi,

Sorry if these has been discussed already, couldnt see it in a search though.

Bascially, my XDA Mini's battery went flat. When I came to charge it, the light indicating it was taking the charge didnt show. I tried a different charger with no luck.

The phone wont turn on, with or without the charger attached. Bascially, the thing is dead.

Ive tried removing the battery etc but nothing.

Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks,

Unfortuately, Li-Ion batteries are known for this - that is, it's impossible to "kick them" in after a prolonged depletion.

I've, however, just read a very interesing, albeit Universal-related article that you may also find useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60761

In case you want a full run down of why it won't come back to life...
