Hi @Nevergiveup92

Sorry to hear about this, can you please try the below steps and see if this resolves it for you. 

Press and hold the volume down key while connecting the device to a computer via a USB cable > remove the USB cable from the device > restart your Xperia device.

Let me know how it goes Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi @Nevergiveup92,

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm not quite sure I understand you question. Your phone is charging and your LED light is flashing red. Can you power on the device?


I would recommend that you try to force reset your device then try charging it for 30 minutes or until you see a battery symbol on your screen. To force reset your device press and hold the volume up and the on/off key down simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.

Let me know how it goes.

@ChloeS, The same problem occured for me and the steps you gave to fix it didn't work. I have tried all kinds of key combinations, and have been charging it for two days now. Are there any other good methods you know that would help my phone turn on? The CPU has gotten really warm, I have switched chargers, and the phone still has the repeated blinking red light

it seems that you've done everything on your part it is time for you to contact your Local support to get it inspected

Just wondering did you dropped the phone, exposed it to water?
