[Q]Acro S bricked... All by itself!

Hi guys,
I need your help. My brand new (2 weeks old!) Xperia Acro S bricked by itself!
I was browsing the web when the screen went completely black. I tried to do a hard reset (pressing power + volume up) because it worked many times before that (it was not the first time that the whole "black screen crash" happened), but the phone was completely dead.
The local Sony assistance told me (after keeping it for 6 weeks ) that they won't repair it because the phone is not currently sold in my country (I won it on Facebook).
As of now the only thing that is working is the charging light when I connect it to the charger.
The phone was absolutely and completely stock, NO rom, NO root whatsoever.
Please tell me that I did not win an extremely pricey paperweight!

Plug in charger,when it shows battery icon,press the power button until it is turn on

Did you tried Power button + Volume down button? If not hold Power button + Volume down button for 10 seconds. It should work.

Double Post, sorry.

The phone is not out of charge, it is completely dead. The only thing working is the LED notification light that turns red when connected to the charger.

I tried every possible combination of HW buttons but to no avail...

Try Sony Update service. HERE is download link.

There have been some topics I think floating around that batteries have died at like 50%

The battery was the very first thing I checked, I charged it for about a day.

Will it work even if the PC does not see the phone?

Unfortunately it doesn't. I connected the phone while holding the volume down button pressed but nothing happened.

I have the same problem with xperis S.
It bricked by itself.
The only one noticeable thing i remember that when I last seen it a few minutes after it was working that the light was flashing blue and the black screen. After it it newer switched on.
Now while charging, the light turns solid red and nothing more. No flashmode. No fastboot mode. Tried to remove accu. It did not help. Sony update service and flashtool does not see the device.
There was stock firmware droid 4.0.4 and root. Nothing more. Everything worked fine. No updates were done before it bricked.
Is there any way out?

Then I'm not the only one...
As of now there is no way out, you should contact your local sony assistance.
It would be great if you could tell us what was the cause of the death of your Xperia.

Xperia Ion soft/hard bricked using Font Installer

My Xperia Ion has unlocked bootloader and installed this kernel.
I have used the Font Installer and installed an incompatible font and the phone restarted after it and went into bootloop (only sony and xperia logos were showing and the phone was restarting all the time...)
The first thing I did was soft reset (up+power for 5 seconds) but nothing changed so i did hard reset and the phone got bricked after with no led and vibrations, unable to connect to pc...
I put it into wall charger over night but nothing changed only there is the red led flashing when connected to the charger/PC ( 5 seconds red led, then 20 seconds no led and again and again)
I have tried Flashtool, PPC, fastboot and all the button combinations while connected to PC but nothing works, the phone is completely dead...
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Can you dissemble it? If it is decemble it and disconnect battery cable from motherboard and re connect it. After that try to connect to flashtool and flash stock firmware.

I have opened the phone but am too afraid to go further. Have you yourself done it before? Is disconnecting of the battery the only way how to fix it?

I don't know is there is another way. I just telling you about my experience. I did it quite many times.

when you press volume down and connect it to pc through cable
u should be in flashboot mode and seee some drivers installing
if you don't get any response from the phone then its a total hard bricked
you will need to send it to warranty or a repair center
if possible box will be able to revive it but if not your pcb needs to be replaces

Thx manzza, the day after tomorrow I will go to sony repair center which will fix my phone? I don't know what happened to me

2 It is not upgraded to ICS
3 I tried everything single thing like taking battery out and holding power button, volume up and power everything
4 Phone is not under warranty
Please confirm me this is not an hardware issue and how to solve it
Thank you everybody for reading it.
