Why won't CAT S60 turn on?

My CAT S60 does not turn on even when fully charged. It's only 3 months old.

Disassembled it and removed battery connection, once pugged back in(or plugging in charger) cat logo appeared.  progress.

I had the same issue: my S60  was "dead" with empty battery. Only red LED blinking while it was on charger.


Presssing on the reset button even for several seconds had no effect.


Finally, I tried to press the reset button while the S60 was connected to charger...

and IT WORKED!!!

The red light blinkign and the phone doesnt come on, reset button doesnt help....  ? ? ? ?


I had an issue where the phone acted like it was charging after I disconnected the charger. The top left button (left side) wouldn't do anything and the only way I could access the phone was to trigger the flashlight on then off or double tap the home button. The volume down button also stopped working. Pressing the battery reset button by the sim cards sorted it and the buttons are all working normally. No apps were deleted. Have had the phone almost two years and this is the first issue I have had.

Same here. Solid green light stays on. The reset button is under the sim door back of phone. Open the door and use a small paperclip. Apps and data are not affected. Turn on your phone as normal :-)
