Sony Xperia c wont turn on!

[Nozza]

Hi,

My Experia c5303 will not turn on.

The notification light glows green but nothing else. It glows red when the charger is plugged in. Holding down the volume up and power buttons makes no difference and when the back is removed and the power off button IS held in the green light stays on. 

It just does nothing. Please help.

It works! Thanks!

Wrong recovery I did I think. Only RED light appearing after connecting phone to charger or pc via usb. It tries to install and detect drivers but after that nothing happens. WMSHUA detects first time and installed the drivers. After that it is not connecting phone for further processing. Only red light is there. Does going to service center is the final solution? Sony update service is not available now. Please suggest me some way if possible..

I have Experia C3 and my issue was I drained my battery to 0% while I was watching a video on You tube. Then I plugged in the charger(Not sony original charger :smileysmileywink: ) Then mobile didn't respond, only thing I could see was red light

Now How I resolved this issue:

I had already faced this issue earlier but couldn't recall how I resolved then so I decided to note it down this time(although it took me 2 hours to sort it out) . below are the steps:

1.) If you have been charging your phone for some time and still unable to start then you have to drain it again fully sad but you have to, and if your phone is already dead that's a good news for us now.(how to drain : keep pressing power button along with volume buttons that is the only way to drain or if you could pull out the battery that'll be awesome but I couldn't pull out mine as I was too afraid to pull it out without breaking any circuit as it feels like battery is glued to phone )

2.) Now before this point your phone shouldn't be displaying any red indication (means you are out of hang mode) now you have to do is press power button again so that red light blinks and battery logo appears on the screen, If this happens wallah you are done with the procedure.(keep in mind that this is very importnat that on pressing power button you see blinking red notification light and battery symbol on screen Caution : you have to do this step without attaching to power source, means after step 1 red light goes off and then you again press power button otherwise if red light comes and doesn't blink you are back to step 1 )

3.) If you get red  battery symbol attach the power source and then you'll see the battery symbol with charging icon on top and it'll soon become green then you can start by holding power button for some time.( Tip:you have to press power button  once and leave then only battery symbol shows up)
