used SEUS fix WSOD (White screen of death) now my phone won't turn on :(

[confusedguy22]

Well my K750i had wsod (White screen of death) so I decided to try using SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to fix it. Problem was my charger broke a long time ago and I was using my USb cable to charge my phone until now. But now when I plugged my phone into my USB cable the computer didn't detect it and I had no way of knowing if it was charging or not or if it had full battery.

Anyway I decided to try SEUS without a full battery but it stopped at around 24% saying that the connection had been lost. After this my phone would not turn on at all. When I was using SEUS the battery was still inside my phone but apparetnly it shouldn't be. Would this maybe have damaged my phone?

When I tried to turn my phone on the LED/Infrared on the top flashed red a couple of times so I assumed it had low battery. I bought a charger and I tried to charge it but it only charged for around 30 secs then it stopped. Now my phone is completey unresponsive it doenst turn on, it only charges for 30 secs, it doesn't react to plugging it into my USB cable. Does anyone know what I could have done to damage my phone like this and how the hell I can fix it?

Sounds to me like you've "bricked" your phone. The most economical way to fix it now would be to get an SE repairer to have a look at it for you. As for the red flashing light it does indeed indicate a flat battery.

When I was using SEUS the battery was still inside my phone but apparetnly it shouldn't be. Would this maybe have damaged my phone?

If you didn't have the battery in the phone you wouldn't have been able to even start. This is why the battery needs to be fully charged before the flash occurs because, as you have already experienced, if it goes flat the phone disconnects halfway thru. What it recommends you remove is the SIM card and memory card.

As I said the best thing you can do now (unless you have the required hardware at home) would be to take it to someone who repairs SE phones, although it may not be covered under warranty.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying!

Can you please explain what you mean by "bricked"?

Also when I connected it back to SEUS (Sony Ericcson Update Service) it said that the update had finished.
