Help Epic 4G Touch - Charging/Battery Issue

john2697 · May 1, 2013

I just got this phone and the seller most likely left it on when he shipped it and the battery drained completely and it won't turn on. I've tried battery pulling and getting into recovery ,etc. When I plug in my charger or turn it on it gives me a empty battery with a circle in it. The blue LED also is flashing when it has the battery in it and is charging.

Please help

It sounds like you either have a completely shot battery, thus needing a new battery, or you have a fully bricked phone, thus needing a new phone. For your sake, I hope it's just the battery. I'd start with a Sprint store and go from there.

I would say leave it on the charger for several hours without attempting to power it on.

Does sound like it could be a bad battery as well, but it doesn't sound like a brick otherwise nothing would happen when it's plugged in.

Leave it plugged in 2-3 hours then try to power it on. If that doesn't work, try to find a cheap 2nd battery and see if that'll work for you.
