Try a force restart(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates).If still not working,do what you said.Charge 1-2 hours and repair phone software with sony update service.

the software update failed, make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again. is the message i get when pressing powerbutton and vol. up.

the phone keeps turning on and showing that msg. then turning off.. every time it turns on the red light lights up and every time it turns off again the light turns off too. shouldnt the red light continue to be on when it's charging ?

trying to power it for 1-2 hours and then the last resort is to hand it in to the shop where i bought it, but i prefer a fix from home so any other ideas are well greeted 🙂

Yes,it needs at least 50%.Just connect to wall charger and keep it there for 1-2 hours.
