No problem, keep us updated.
Performing a system repair using PC Companion - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
I am holding the power and volume up as mentioned but not getting any type of response from the tablet. no blue light, nothing. wall charger has no response either.
my pc companion is stuck in a seaching for tablet on the top, and after going into the software update section, its stuck in "please wait..."
Try my suggestion.
Connect the tablet to a wall charger > press and hold the power & volume up keys at the same time for more than 10 seconds > let the tablet charge for 2 or 3 hours, even if it doesn't seem to be working, then try again with PCC
OMG I'm so glad your still here!
I did as you said about half an hour ago so hopefully in another hour or 2 I can try again.
For the record though, my tablet was at 100% and it only took about 10 minutes for pc companion to brick it so I dont think its a dead battery. Like i said i didnt get my blue light either. Will report what happens after I let it charge a bit longer.
Also...seems international editions have no warranty...so you are truly my last hope uliwooly
We are here to help, this has happened to me on multiple Xperias, just let it charge 3 hours, it should work. Make sure it is a wall charger and not a computer or magnetic charger/Dock
