i got the same problem but my alcatel doesnt have a battery
Timyia, if you have a ALCATEL ONETOUCH it will have a battery, if no battery it for sure can not work. See the link below on how to change your battery and you can google your specific model # for a replacement battery. If you need more information post all your phones information and complete question, so ifixit volunteers can answer your question effectively. Have a good day.

This phone has a built in battery, i suspect this issue is a firmware issue.
Acaltel has bricked the phone so you can buy new one.

That also is my problem with my Alcatel. This is what I did, when this occur I just press the volume up and down and the power button at the same time for 20 seconds more or less then release and press right again every second until the flashing stops and power goes off. then after a few seconds press the power to put it on. if it don't work do it again.

Enjoy.now is the essential app for Alcatel smartphone users.
notes for if doing update
After update phone asks to do restart
Let it
When it comes back on it shows
enjoy.now flashing
Leave it flash till it natural goes into power down mode
Leave for another 5 minutes
Then power on as normal and all should be ok
It was on mine

If you leave it to flash it eventually goes to factory reset mode. Use volume button to agree to reset (you need an other WiFi to rcover your data) ofr it will reset from scratch
