Xperia mini pro x10 won't turn on after battery drain during update

Xperia mini pro x10 won't turn on after battery drain during update.

Hi, the battery of my xperia mini pro got depleted during an update attempt, and since then it won't turn on, charge, nor be recognized by my computer through the USB cable connection. Hence the PC companion won't recognize it as well. It doesn't vibrate or turn any lights on, just gets a little bit hotter when connected for a long period of time. Any ideas on how to recover it?

not quite, if the LCD stopped working then it won't turn on at all, but if the phone it's on then it should be able to receive calls.

take the battery out -> put it back on -> turn it on and call the phone

Ok, attempted to turn it on (pressed the button until the phone vibrated) but when I called, it is like the phone is off.

and my computer is failing to install an USB MTP driver when the phone is connected to it.

borrow another SIM card and try again

Anytime, remember you could either

1) send it to Sony Repair Center

or

2) buy a replacement LCD and repair it yourself (it's not that complicated)
