Hi. The phone application was not functioning well and the F/C dialog showed up. I powered off the phone and from that point, the phone won't turn on.
The battery was fully charged before this happened.
When I press the power button, the phone vibrates for half a second, the screen brightens up but does not show anything but a black screen.
I removed SIM and SD cards, removed the battery and performed the above steps but nothing happened.
I also tried to put on the charger to see what's going on. Once I plug the charger, the phone's screen brightens but shows only blank (even without pressing the power button)
When connected to the charger, the green light for charging is on for some minutes, then goes off automatically.
I tried to connect it to the PC, and PC Companion finds the device as usually. It even shows the dialog on the pc screen to mount the device.
I tried a hard reset, but does not work
On some point, the sony logo appeared and then a dialog saying: "sorry process system is not responding". The first time I pressed Force Close and the phone turned off. Immediately after that, the phone turned on and showed the exact message. I pressed "Wait" but nothing happened in the next 15 minutes.
I called Sony's support center and they suggested a software update. Did the process exactly as it should, but again, even after the software update the screen shows nothing but black. It is all the time brightened for some reason.
I tried to turn off the phone for some time by removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on, the phone's screen brightens and stays that way forever.
The phone was functioning perfectly up until this issue. The only application I had installed apart from some games, was AWDLauncher. On the screen I had only a TASK widget and a battery status widget.
The phone is 3 months old and has been always in perfect condition.
ANY help would be appreciated!!!!
Many Thanks
Try to format phone with this method hope it should work as it seems the issue is with OS only ..

I tried the steps found in the link you gave me, but I couldn't go any further after step no (5) from the tutorial, as it would require to enable Debugging mode and I cannot access the OS (since the device won't turn on).
Is there a way to format all the contents of the device and have them replaced by running SEUS (as it always says that my device is up to date now)?
Was it this:

That Sony Ericsson told you to do?
If not, use that.
Download it, follow the steps when it says you have the latest version, press "Install Anyway".
Hope this works.
Hi itTim. thanks for the response
this is what i did but no improvement at all ((
Sounds like you broke your LCD screen somehow.
That would suck because I broke mine and it cost me $200 to fix.
Hi Hypercore.
Yes that could be the problem. The thing is that I always took rally good care of the phone, always carried in a leather pouch and never droped it. How sensitive is this lcd anyway?? Did you notice any cracks on your lcd or was the problem simillar to mine?
Thanks
When you turn on the phone does the lcd backlight turn on?
If so, look for any faint lines of color (usually a hairline size). If you see any of those then your screen is cracked.
the backlight is on, but there are no lines of colour on the lcd screen.
another weird thing is that the green light on the top blinks one or two times every time i put on the battery. even if the phone is off, once I insert the battery turns on automatically after a couple of seconds.
If all else fails you could try to flash back to your original fw with the tools here:

That won't do anything.
I had almost the same issue. Nothing worked. But, when I removed the battery and left it for a day (24h) without it, it just started working again. Still working without issues..
Good luck!

Phones are very wierd pieces of technology. I once bricked my k610i and that's a phone that's supposed to be impossible to un-brick, but out of nowhere a month or so later i picked it up, hit power and it turned on perfectly. Made no sense at all, but it worked.
Taking the battery out for a long time probably took all the electrical charges from it (kind of like how a computer power supply / monitor can hold power charges) and reset your handset.

Indeed. It could be a frozen chip, memory fault, power-regulator and so on.

if you have done this and did not worked , then it is the LCD.

Guys i Really need the solve of this problem , my xperia has blank screen now without backlight and the phone completely doesn't work . when i put the battery and prees the switch botton it gives me 3 red signals , i've updated and hard reset but it didn't work , and btw the LCD is fine , any idea. did removing the battery worked???? . please answer
After a looooot of time since my latest post, finally my Xperia came back to life. There was a battery failure which means the phone was ok all the time. Weird thing is that the led light showed that the battery was charging ok. I removed the battery and after a lot of time it is working ok again. This was really really odd.
FYI for anyone else that gets this issue.
I just had this for the past hour after trying to change my baseband....could not get it back for anything.
What I did finally try was run another baseband via flash tool, connected to usb and it started flashing....after flash phone powered on again...yeah I agree with everyone, that is freaking scary when it happens.
My Samsung Stratosphere turned itself off sometime and now is rebooting to the Samsung logo, and then turning back off, and rebooting (a couple times earlier it booted to the main android menu, but turned back off immediately afterwards) and when I plugged it into the charger it acts like it's charging and then turns off and acts like it's charging and over and over again, even when the battery indicates that it's at more than half full.
Does anyone know what's happening? (no custom ROMs or anything, it's all standard btw). I took the battery out and everything and it still does the same thing when I put it back. I tried to do a factory reset, but the recovery mode screen always jumps away when I try to activate it (I press both Vol+ and Vol-, recovery mode screen comes up but goes instantly, then the phone goes into a boot loop again).
Please help, thank you!
Bump!
Bump please!

Hi, I'd recommend sending the phone into warranty, add the phone isn't rooted, you can't do much.

Had same problem on 3 phones. This is a connection problem within the phone. Disassembly & cleaning contacts often helps for a while, but problem comes back. Bumping the phone on the side or top, often allows it to work properly, for a short while, and so does squeezing it, in certain places. Get a new one, since the problem will re-cur.
i have a problem with my watch, i left it on theatre mode until the battery drained. i charged the watch to 100% and tried to turn it on.
it doesn't turn on, it shows the logo of fossil for a second and go black again and doesn't turn on. i tried a lot of times, and still, shows the logo for a sec and that's it.
when i connect it to the charger(shows full battery), sometimes i get the same result, logo for a sec and dead again, and sometimes, the watch turn on but if i remove it from the charger, it goes dead again. i tried a factory reset(watch and phone), but still can't turn on the watch. please help me.

Hopefully you're under warranty still and can get to a Fossil store or send it in to get a replacement. That sounds like a possible hardware problem.
same problem
were you able to fix the problem i have the same problem
It all started last Friday afternoon with a green/blue line in the upper third of the display. A little blurry and "swinging". Then, the phone rebooted but worked normal after that.
After some minutes it rebooted again and the whole display was green/blue and shaking. I still could power-off and restart the phone, but always with the same result. In the meantime, it stopped during boot process with a shaking and blurring "ELE" logo.
And now, it does nothing any more. Even charging doesn´t work. After one minute, the LED goes off and nothing happens any more.
Tried to reset and flash from PC using the tool, but the P9000 isn´t detected by the PC any more.
No idea what happened or what I can do...
It is impossible to sell the broken phone as spare part for repair shops, as still my personal data are in it...

Switching off the music before entering the flight to another continent, phone freeze, restart, green screen ... and after several restarts stucked in bootloop.
Yeah, the best timing, being in foreign country without smartphone.
Guys, I know that there are many threads about this problem recently, but after reading all of them, I've founded that my problem is still a bit special
So, what's happening ?
Before, phone gets several restarts and always stucked in green screen.
I did factory reset, with was smooth and after restart it always loads everything but once I see my wallpaper, it's freeze, restart and over and over ...
What I've already did ?
1. Factory reset
2. Left in the fridge for 1 hour. After, still the same. This makes me thing that my issue is not in overheating, as I believe that if chips will be cool, the booting process will last a little longer and I will might be able see more than my wallpaper before it restarts ....
My theory
Phone was under blanked whole night, is possible that it' was bit overheaded (despite it was idle and on airplane) so in the morning when I've entered the plane, I just saw that green screen.... but after, I've switched it off, took off battery for a while, something inside changed and I'm almost ready to use it except something cracked with software....
My question
Is possible to put there any other software, or just do some modifications with software on my particular, Hong Kong version ?
or, it's HW for sure ?
Thank you so much and hope you will understand my confusing post
