[URGENT] Is my Play Dead? How do I fix it?

I've been having a problem with my xperia play screen over the last few days. Some times when I press the power button or the home key the screen stays black.
Today though I've rarely been able to get my phone screen on
I've got to the point now that my screen won't even come on. Even after flashing my phone again with a new firmware. Then when I tried to turn on my play the LED flashed 3 times but RED :O
I'm now charging it but when charging, the LED is permanently red.
Is my Play dead or is it something simple like my battery dying?

If it is it maybe a software glitch which harmed your phone/device...

Sorry I'm new to this XDA Forum

Hey its me, the same guy from the official sony post,
I tried flashing new firmware, but that didn't work. so i ended up relocking my bootloader and trying an official update service, but that didn't work. I had to send it off to the sony repair centre.
one week later I got my phone back: fully working. they reprogrammed the phone with stock .42 FW
so send it off to the repair centre!
one note though. i flashed official .62 fw and installed doomkernel, but the next morning the screen went off whenever i tried to open settings. after 3 times it didn't com on again. after leaving the phone alone for 20 mins the screen would turn on again (after rebooting) but i'm sending it off to the repair centre again.
too bad the phone isn't fixed, still...

-this problem ( black screen or delay to turn the screen on ) is happening on some custom roms , which rom do you use ?
- sometimes when you change the cpu governor it happens , for example when you set the "powersave" profile for screen off , or when you use interactivex on your CPU .
i'm sure that related to your rom , your phone is alive mate
or according to 3raserNL information
- another way is : just flash a ftf .54 , .62 ...
good luck

Play gets stuck on sony ericsson text

Heya guys, my issue is that my play basically gets stuck on the black screen with white sony ericsson text upon booting. However if it's charging or connected to my laptop it will boot, but the touch screen doesn't work. Also, if i disconnect the Play it restarts and goes straight to the sony ericsson text again :/ Does anyone have any experience or know how to fix this? I was not trying to flash any kernel or anything (locked bootloader), my phone was simply charging. I unplugged it and then the fun started :/ Thanks.

Send it back for repair
Ouch sounds bad, well if you were only charging it and you're bootloader is locked I'd try sending back to Sony or wherever you bought it from for repair

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Took me ages to get any sense outta meteor customer care though, cause I bought it off them.

U can try flashing it to the latest update from sony,
I guess it was a bootloop, just flashing it will make u have a new phone

[help] [urgent]

i was flashing my ion with .96fw but something went wrong, phone was stuck at triangle for more than half an hour, so i restarted by vol down+power. It vibrated once and showed SONY and was stuck there, it was also going in fast boot mode and the blue light mode( i don't remember its name). . I gave it to sony centre. Now, they said that your phone cant be repaired. They did something--- When I switch ON the phone it starts with GREEN LIGHT and some kind of white screen comes then it goes and then there comes some options for testing HDMI, Vibration and all written in green. I have no idea what are these options for! The phone don't go ahead of that. What exactly is happening? Please tell me what is happening in my phone

Idk whats happening.but do a force restart.if thus don't work reflash original ftf.
Just try.will be ok.

Random restart for my Sony Z5 premium Dual

Hi All,
I have an annoying topic with my Sony Z5 premium Dual SIM
It randomly restart itself, suddenly no response on the screen followed by 3 red blinking then screen fade out then a restart
This is happening to me even during a phone call, opening any application
I searched similar topics in the forum and i didn't find any
I googles it and the solution for some people was to reinstall the Stock ROM through Xperia companion, tried it and now it is worst (restarting more than 4 times per day)
Please I need your expert support here

Did u tried safe mode? System restart with 3 red led blinks > tells u that chip is on fire! Can u post some more info regarding ur build number, Rooting status,SD Status and apps installed!

i'm facing the same problem , did you find anything ?
