[Q] Please help Xperia X10 Not turning on Issue Tried everything :( - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys I have spent past 5 days searching google watching videos on youtube and I still have issue with my Ericson Xperia X10
I have downloaded Flash tool and that stuck on reading device part and does not go any more.
I have downloaded updates service but it cuts of after url downloaded the software need it, and when it tries to update the phone it self.it says fail I tried this few times.still same thing.
I have downloaded Sony PC Companion same thing it will not update.
I tried videos on youtube from plugin phone in to main charger not the PC and sticking down the on button still nothing happens
I also tried pressing Volume and on button same time still nothing happens.
if I plug the phone in main charger it blinks with red light if I try and turn it on it will blink 3 times with red light and nothing happens
on some occasions it will have steady green light for about 5 minutes and then it just goes off and no green light and no blinking.
This is really frustrating for me and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have Sony Ericsson xperia x10 ( white version ) please advice.
Thanks guys.

The red flashing LED generally indicates the battery is completely depleted.
Plug the phone into a wall charger and leave it for a few hours, after which (hopefully) you should see an solid red/orange light as it charges.
If it does start to charge when the red LED stops flashing and you get a solid red/orange LED I would suggest to charge it for a good 12hrs+
If may take over an hour before the red flashing LED stops and turns a solid red/orange depending on battery state.
For best charging(and if you still have it) use the original Sony EP800 charger with Sony EC600L cable that came with the phone, as this 'pumps' the largest amount of Amps into the battery and charges quicker.
If you don't get a solid red/orange LED on the phone after approx 3-4hrs charging, then you may need to look at purchasing a new battery.

Try removing the battery from the phone and leaving it out of the phone for 2-3hrs.
The green LED indicates it's in 'Flash mode' and thinks it's waiting to start/complete a firmware install.
I'm guessing you don't have a Sony EP800 charger and Sony EC600L cable and that you using some other combination of charger/cable.
[Update]
After the battery has been removed from the phone (overnight would be good) then insert the battery back in the phone and see if you get a solid red/orange/green charging light and if so, charge for 12hrs+
The reason I ask about the Sony EP800 charger and cable, is that I know it provides over 900mAh draw which means the phone 'should' know it's a AC wall charger, but many other charger/cable combinations only provide a USB ~500mAh draw which could prompt the phone to think it's still attached to a PC and thus remain in it's last connected state. i.e. Flash mode.
Just an idea.

Hi did you install the driver's for flashtool from the folder?
If your SEUS file failed during download then re-download it and go back to stock.
It will update itself and restart be patient :good:
After the install is finished Sony Update Service start's up then follow the on screen instruction's. Agree to license - click Start - Choose x10 - press next etc
Just Follow onscreen Instructions
If your phone has trouble with back key and plug in usb,
Then leave the usb plugged into both phone and computer with your battery out!
Then hold back key and put your battery in :good:
