Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone

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 using the PC companion, it doesn't detect the phone.. I have Windows 7 64 Bit DELL XPS L401X.. **bleep**, 30k PHONE!

Have you tried compatibility mode and if so then you need a 32bit system like Windows 7 32bit

To be more specific, This is a really.. bad problem.. Whenever I plug in no charger to the phone, The Sony Logo just comes and switches off. Whenever I put a charger to the phone, A red LED light flashes(near the LED indicator) and The Sony logo pops up and goes off then again Sony.. and just like that, Even after I remove the charger, The LED light stays on and the restarting happens, The XPERIA logo doesn't come at all. Do I need a battery replacement? I went to the Sony Service Centre 2 months ago(When this problem did not exist and only there was a Battery problem), they said they cannot replace Hardware..

Sorry to hear this but you would need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care as we are a user support forum and I'm not staff so expecting something from me is something I can't help you with - I've gave you the best advice I can give http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Hello,

I've been having this problem lately. At first, the battery seems to have been dead, phone switched off within 20 seconds of removing from the wall charger. I thought it was a software problem, and used the Sony PC companion to fix it. The update was done, yet, it didn't get solved.

I decided to give it to the Sony service center. They told they can't fix the battery, and asked me to pay 10k(around) rupees to get a replacement. I didn't, of course, that was 1/3rd of the price of the phone

They just reinstalled the android is and gave it back to me, charging me a good 150 rupees. I took it, and started using it while connected to the wall charger. Suddenly, one day it switched off, completely, while using it. Now, when I try to switch it on while connected to the wall charger, it doesn't work. The red light blinks once or twice, the Sony logo comes, the red light comes and the Sony logo again. Nothing else. Its a 30k phone, and its currently useful for being a brick.

Note- my warranty's long done. Any solution or auch?

Oh, right, sorry, forgot about that. I didn't get a solution, and they won't repair it for god's sake.
