Dude i think you phone battery got deep-discharged....So all you have to do is to charge your phone by adapter charger (for at least 12 hours)...
Follow The Instructions Below-:
1.Connect The adapter to the phone...(don't try to switch it on,from anyways)
2.Let the phone Charge till 12 hours
3.Unplug the Charger and connect the phone with PC and use SEUS to Reinstall a fresh ROM.

remove battery and try reconnecting it (you should be able doing that witout removing any screw)
if no result disconnect it again and connect to an ac/dc adapter @3V for half an hour
pay attention to the polarity (+/-)
teardown instructions

I have exactly the same problem .. try a long time but nothing ...is dead...

Maybe you didn't have battery left to try to solve the problem and therefore it is always red without charging if there is a problem, if you connect the phone by usb to the computer and the phone doesn't start or charge then it really is a problem. Try to use the Sony Update Service, download it, then you just have to select your model on the program and it will tell you to press the Back Button on the phone and then connect it with usb (still holding the back button), this will bring the phone to it's original state (Stock Android) and back to life.

simply use SEUS to restore stock ROM and kernel.so long as your computer can recognise the device when connected .
