> FAQ: Fixing a dead K800i
Bookmark topic
here's my prob now. i have a friend's k790 and the computer does not detect the phone. i tried pressing the c key, 2+5, and the activity menu key and no luck. the red blinking lights blinks once when i press the power button once. when i press the power button once again, the red light blinks like 5 or 6 times.
i've thought that this is a problem with the phone's board. what do you think?

I dunno, its less than a year old so I'd assume so. It is insured as well so could claim via that but i dont want to cos dont want them to wipe the phone and lose all my contacts/pics etc etc, would rather sort it out myself if poss.

No it doesnt even turn on!! All that happens when you press the on button is a little red light flashing in the infared port!

Try to take the batt out longer. Then fully charge your batt in other phone (your phone condition may prevent the batt to be charged). If still no joy try different computer.
If still fail, then maybe it is hardware problem and you really have to bring it to SE service centre.

Sammi your battery is daed if you get a steady Red Light.
If it is blinking then I assume the EROM is damaged.
@tranced Have you tried using a different cable and computer as sometimes the computer just can't read it

I'm having the same issue... I tried the steps that he posted on page one; and this is the result:
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
DB2020 detected
LOADER:OK
FC ID: 89 7E
connecting to server
connection OK
sending login
EROM: starting upgrade
EROM: done
ERROR:
SEMCSEC status 3
== FAILED ==
Duration: 00:02
So; I went and tried the SE Updater; and that said that: "Identification failed".
So; my question is: What is the SEMCSEC status 3 message?! I've searched all over the internet; and no one can tell me or no one seems to know what it is.
I'm getting the blinking red lights; and my battery was fully charged when it went into brick mode; so I know I have power. So; I'm at a loss here...
Also; what is this spoon shorting out thing, I'm willing to try anything because Sony won't repair the phone because I bought it from the UK and live in the US... They stated that because I'm using it in a gray market the warranty is void.
