Chosen Solution
Hello. So recently I found my mom’s old Motorola Razr v3, and I wanted to recover old images off of it. My mom told me the screen is broken but the outer small one should work. I did not have the right cable for it, so I ordered one and it arrived today. I plugged in the phone to my computer and nothing happened. I held down the power button on the right side and nothing happened. So I clicked the end call button, and it suddenly powered on. Now it stays on for a few seconds with the screen(s) being off and the speaker making weird bzzzz noises, then it turns off for a second and goes back to the same thing. I am guessing either the phone is bootlooping for some reason (maybe cause of a dead battery?) or something. Taking out the battery makes the phone not wanna turn on. So uh, what can I try now? If nothing works I will try and order a replacement screen and battery for it and try fixing it, hoping it will work so I can recover the data. Thanks.
@rqng replace the battery. All of those weird sounds and behavior could come from a depleted and discharged below its threshold battery.
