Update failed and now my phone won't start

I tried using Sony Bridge for Mac to update my Z3. 

Naturally, it failed (I had massive problems updating the other Xperia I had too).

All my phone wants to do now is say 'The software update failed.Make sure your phone is connected to a computer and try again'. This is, of course, a ridiculous thing to suggest, as my Mac will now not recognise the device as I can't turn it on.

How exactly am I supposed to get this 'smartphone' (HA, I've seen smarter turds) working again? 

I have already tried charging it via a wall plug, and reconnecting it to my computer.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

Will probably need to go through the repair options, ie clean flash. Failing that you might want to investigate flashtool
