If the phone now turn on try to connect it to your computer and try to do a software repair. The problem is software related.

Hi @karimgh1, welcome to our forum!

I'm sorry to hear about your phone. Slightly_frowning_Face

If you can't power on your phone, could you please try and press and hold the volume up and ON/OFF button at the same time for about 10 seconds? You should now get a 3 short vibrations and the phone will turn off.

Start the phone as normal with the ON/OFF button, are you able to power it on now?

If you still can't power on your phone, there is a small OFF button placed near the SIM and SD-card area on the phone which you can press and hold for about 10 seconds with the tip of pencil or a similar object. The phone will power off and you can try starting again.

Let me know how it went!

Hello again!

Sorry to hear that you still can't power on your phone. Slightly_frowning_Face

Could you please try and remove your SIM and/or SD cards from your phone and then try to power it on again?


If you can't power it on, connect the charger to a wall socket and charge the phone for 3 to 4 hours, make sure that you are using a original charger and cable.

If there is no change, I would recommend that you perform a software repair using Xperia Companion. This will delete all data stored on the internal storage in the phone and you will not be able to backup any data since you can't power on your device.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the update!

If you start the Xperia Companion program when your phone is turned off and not connected to your computer and then you press on "Software repair", can you then follow the instructions on the screen and complete the repair? Or do you receive any error messages along the way?

The phone does not have to be turned on for it to able to be software repaired, it is however required to be charged to at least 80%.

If you can't power on the phone after completing the software I would recommend getting in contact with your Local support team so they can assist you with having the phone sent in to an authorized service center.

Keep me posted!
