[KO_DK]

Yesterday my Xperia z1 was hot and got turn off, i thought it ran out of battery. So I charged my phone and it show blink red led light then I unplug my phone after 1 hour and started pushing power button but it did not turn on. I tried to hard reset like push power+volume up, physical reset with red button but it still turn off.

Hi there,

Press and hold "Power Button" and "Volume Up" at the same time about 8 seconds(3 vibrations) =Force Shutdown.

Charge your phone 1 hour and then try to repair using Sony Update Service.

Cheers.

It does not work any more. When I plug my phone to computer it was not response to Update service program.

Do you get any response from the phone at all when you try to charge it?

[KO_DK]

It only show blink red LED light.

Put it on the charger for 2 hours and wait the response.

Your battery is almost discharged, then try again.

Same thing just happened to my xperia. Red button flashing, wont turn back on. I tired hard reset. Still not working. Must be a command faulty problem. Ive only had the phone for a couple months, Very disappointed with Sony.

Same here. Unfortunately I bought my phone from 'Toby deals' which I presume is in China and when sent in to the uk Sony repair agent, they refuse to repair it, stating that it was not bought in the uk. I am not sure where I stand now, as it was in warranty when it went faulty and now it isn't. 

I just want it repaired and working. I've been a life long Sony man and now am beginning to lose loyalty.

Any advice, or help, is appreciated please guys?
