Hei. I was happy owner of chromecast. From one day to another does not work.
Nothing on display. LCD does not reconize signal.
Only red light on device.
Holding button does not change anything.
I try plug pendrive via Y otg/power cable with FlashCast, no reaction. Chromecast does not read any data from pendrive (pendrive has LED light which is blinking during using, in this case no light at all).
Device was not hacked/modded.
Any suggestions?

Hello, I just received my new All share Cast Hub in the mail and made an attempt to power it on. According to the instructions when I connect it to a power source, the LED should turn red and begin to flash. Mine will not turn red, am I missing a step? I have tried connecting it to a USB power source with the same results and I also have the HDMI connector attached.

Maybe the unit is defect?
I took it our of my box, pluged in the TV and electricity and it started to flash the red LED. (actually just followed the manual instructions)
Did you try to push the reset button or someting? Did you try a different electricity outlet?

Yes I tried all of that, I guess it is just a bad unit.
Hi,
I have a problem with the battery charging.
The USB port doesn't seem to work at all in all situations except when i switch off and connect the charger or to the pc.
In that case the green light will come on for a few minutes or seconds and the phone will start automatically but after that the the port seems to loose functionality again.
It doesn't seem to be recognized as a mass storage device and neither can i get it to be recognized by flashtool.
Anybody has any idea what might be the problem?
Same prob
I have the same problem and its only getting worse,
for me it wont be recognized either but since a day only the wall socket will get the green light to burn.
Im guessing sending it in is the only option for us.. :crying:
Hello. I read your posts about xperia z2. Unfortunately nothing is working. I don't know too much about the phone because is not mine. It's possible to have taken some water inside. At the moment no matter what I do, only the red led turn on when I plug it to wall charger or usb pc. It is not responding to any buttons or hard reset button under the sim slot. Most of the post are about flashing. But how can I flash if the button are not working? When I open it the battery had 3v. I charged it to 4,2 v but still not working. I also tried with the battery cable unplugged. Do you think there is still something I can try at this moment or it's batter to buy a new motherboard? Thank you in advance.
Have you tried to hard reset using power and volume up? Have you tried to flash via flash tool? If that doesn't work I'm afraid you have to buy a new motherboard.

Hold volume down while pluggin in the usb cable (connected to pc).
LED should turn Green, then you are in flashmode. If pc recognizes phone, try to flash a stock tft firmware.
Thank you for your answer. As I said, the phone is not responding to any button inputs. I tried power,volume -,+,red button under sim tray nothing is working. The only thing it does is the red led turning on when I plug it to usb. I read that a new battery could turn it on. I think the battery is good as long as it holds voltage.
At this moment I am trying the rubber band trick. If this doesn't work probably I need to change the mother board. I looked at the mother board and I can't see any damage (broken connectors, traces of fire...)

I have same problem. Maybe do you know solution? I think this is mb problem, but maybe know how to fix it?

looks like just flash red led, no charging. When trying to turn on I can hear some clicking sound from motherboard, like small relay or something.
Hi,
Please, be patient while reading this post, this is a looong explanation of the brick I am facing...
I recently was given a non working XTZ SGP311 and tried to get it back to life. As I have another one SGP311 (this one is perfectly working), I am able to check many things.
I read most of topics about XTZ unbrick but can't find any way to get it back working.
The problem is that I can't have any signal from usb (data or power). I use a genuine Sony USB cable and genuine Sony charging adapter (coming from the working SGP311). The led always stays off.
I tried the different combos as described (vol- and power ; vol+ and power ; vol+ and vol- and power) during 5, 10, 20, 30 seconds (yes, quite complete tests).
I did a cross check of batteries and inside usb connector ribbon (yes, had to open both tablets for that), the working tablet continues to work with the 2 parts coming from the faulty one (battery coming from dead tablet was 0% charged), so the problem is not on the side of the inside usb connector neither on the side of a supposed dead battery. The faulty tablet doesn't boot, even with a fully charged battery inside.
I luckily own a XTZ dock (SGPDS5) that allows to charge without using usb connector (it uses the 2 contacts located on the left side of the tablet). That's the only way to get something...
Soooo, when I put the bricked tablet on its dock, the red led flashes very slowy (say, 1 second off, 1 second on red, and so on).
When I press vol- and power, nothing happens (no matter 5/10/15/20/25 seconds).
When I press vol- and vol+ and power, idem.
When I press vol+ and power : I got the sequence blinks once white led / blinks 3 times white led (after that goes to slow red blinking about if I keep the keys pressed). So not completely dead.
If I unplug it from the dock right after the third white blink, plug the usb cable to the tablet, plug it to my laptop (with emma running, tried with pc companion too), and press vol-, then....nothing happens. Really nothing. No led lit. No detection of anything from the laptop (or device manager as well). It would have been the same if I would have kept it unplugged.
To sum it up, the only thing I can have is 1 or 3 white blinks after having plugged the SGP311 on its docks.
IMO, the trouble comes from a faulty component inside the tablet. Maybe the one that manages the connection from the usb ribbon plug. I checked the tiny plugs inside the tablet (once dismantled and back repacked too), all seems in order.
Your help is welcome !
This is similar to an issue I have it sounds like, you can still flash stock rom by holding power + volume till it blinks 3x then plug USB in and hold volume down immediately.
This gives flash mode, you can use flash tool to put stock rom on with this. The issue happens when it's acting like there's no OS it seems. Problem is mines doing this everytime I flash a custom rom, it's fine with stock aside from **** wifi
Thanks for your help. I tried that yesterday and it did not work.
This may be related to the way of reset I use (but I can't have any other).
As I can't get any white blinking led when connected by the tablet micro-usb port, the one and only way to get the 3 times white blinking led is when the XTZ is on its dock (SGP DS5, power connection only by lateral contacts).
What I tried yesterday was to get the 3 time white blinking led (vol+ and Power), then output the tablet off the dock and connect a usb cable to a laptop running Sony Emma (from micro usb tablet port to usb laptop).
Precision : I kept VOL- pressed when pluging usb cable to laptop.
No result at all. No detection (either Emma nor windows).
Any idea ?

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate.
But I swapped batteries from the working XTZ to the non-working one and put a (about) 60% charged battery into the bricked XTZ (both batteries are charging when set into the working XTZ). I will try anyway.
The problem is that the non working XTZ does not charge either through usb or through the dock. The only interest of the dock is that this is only situation where I can have the "triple white led blink" (but nothing more).
That's why I need the working XTZ for charging before doing anything with the non working one.
What I could try would be to connect the lateral contacts with wires to the dock in order to keep an access to the usb tablet micro port and connect it to a laptop.
But this may be hairy as this would give 2 ways for power (one by the dock and the other by the USB port), and may produce a short circuit...
Any XTZ power experts around ?

Well, not a real solution...
I bought a cheap xtz with broken screen and got its working motherboard and put it instead of the other one.I got the lte component too with its antenna and put it into the 1st xtz that was not supposed to have lte.
So now, on one side I have a xtz with faulty motherboard and broken screen, and on the other side a refurbished xtz with LTE !
I like very much this tablet. Very handy, easy to dismantle and easy to swap its components.
The only drawback is no more support for Sony.
Thank you for the answer
So, you are saying that if I replace the motherboard I can fix that ? I'm looking for motherboard on ebay and I found one for $28 usd + shihpping.
Thank you for answering and take care.

Yes. I think this should be good.
Don't care about the exact matching of the product code: as long as it'll be xtz, it'll be good (16 or 32 gb, with or without lte, and any region should match).
Did you opened it already ?
Yes, I opened 2 years ago cuz my son broke the power jack connector then I replaced that twice.
I'm also tech guy, I can replace that, but won't expend more than $50 for a new motherboard. I'm looking on ebay now.
Thank you

I have a problem with my LeMax 2. I was using google camera for some picture taking, and all of a sudden phone shuts down. I connected it to the charger, thinking that the battery is dead, but all I can see is backlight, without anything on the screen.
then I connected it to a computer, and there was a popup that said: "the last device you connected to this computer malfunctioned". it seems that USB cable is burnt out. I changed the USB cable, but the same error occurs.
The strange part is that i get notifications, I can locate the phone via Find my device, but i can't see anything on the screen, only i can see a backlight. PC does not recognize it, i tried Linux, win10, win7, USB OTG. i ordered a new Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-New-Dock-Connector-Charging-Port-Flex-Cable-For-Letv-leEco-Le-Max2-Max-2-X820/32828762033.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.116b4c4ds9GGuN, and changed it, but the problem persists.
i can only see backlight, the phone can be located, the notifications can be heard, but USB is only good for charging, even after replacing it.
Does anybody have some idea how to revive it?
Heyyo, hmm does tapping the power button allow the backlight to at least work? Please rest that in a dark room to see if you can notice the backlight.
If not? It could be a hardware issue... You could try heating the device with a heat gun and then using a suction cup or screen seperation tool and then check the connection of the screen to the device and ensure it is properly connected.
There could be other recommendations if someone else also has an idea
Yes, the backlight works. I opened phone, changed USB port and checked the screen connection. Firstly I thought that USB is fried due to some weird power surge when connecting the charger, but after changing the USB, it is the same.
The next thing that came to my mind is that USB connection on motherboard is fried. As I said, the phone charges up, but when connected to pc, it shows that device has malfunctioned. The screen has backlight, as far I can say it registers a touch, device finder can locate it, sound works...
