It wont boot up .... Help!!!

Ok after my sony ericsson xperia play did the software upgrade while on the charger, it will not boot back up!!
Not sure what happend, but when you press the power button, it only vibrates once but will not boot back up!
It just shows a black screen!!!!
I have sent it in to the shop and we are stuck as to how to get it on.
You can not even get into the boot loader screen!
Its been a week, and i don't know what the hell to do!!!
Some one please help!!!!

Does the power button light up green when you hold down the search button while plugging into a computer? If so, use flashtool to flash back to the stock firmware

Yes it dose, the tech guy and me have tried to do so, however the computer sees the device but dose not know what it is, however even when the files are finished it sitll dose not boot up!

If it lights up green then you cant get into fastboot, it should light up blue, if im not mistaken!
Is your phone Rooted, with BL Unlocked, and do you have CWM Recovery? You said you can not get into Bootload screen? Did you mean Recovery? Try pushing volume down repeatedly while pressing the power button, continue hitting volume down till you see the recovery screen. If you can get into recovery just do a nandroid recovery/restore, provided you did a back up prior to your issue.

It dose not light up blue, but it dose not go into the recovery screen at all, in fact when you press the power button, gives a small vibrate and the screen is still black!
Also when you put it on the charger the LED light is green, really frustrated.
However, I am new at this, like I said only had the device for a day, and this happened after I did a software update, so I am not sure what a CWM means, kindly clarify, think of giving instructions not just to a newbie, but to some one that has no clue what is going on! LOL sorry man I really am new to all of this, I just want it to work, so kindly provide me with step by step instructions that you would give to a five year old child.

Hmm... that's interesting. A CWM is a custom recovery. Green light when plugged in means its charging. It sounds almost like your phones LCD is not receiving a signal anymore, if that's the case, seeing as you wouldn't see anything on the screen in order to even do a recovery, I don't see a lot of options here. If its brand new, then its under warranty, take it back and exchange it.

This has nothing to do with your LCD =|.
It's sony's stupid software bricking the xperia play for no valid reason ; happened to me as well.
Only fix is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service and keep on retrying the software update after it fails ; This is not the Sony Ericsson Pc Suite ; Also try removing the battery for 30 seconds after 6-8 retries on SEUS - happened to me a few times after the original occurence since i was trying to get back to complete stock.

Thanks for the input, I was lost on how to help out on this one! I thought it was only bricking the rooted unlocked phones.

Thanks, so I need to use the update app from Sony Ericsson?
I will try it, however would it work after I flashed it ?
I did a few times and it took the flash files, yet still wont boot up.

I wasn't trying to get him to use fastboot (blue light), I was saying to go into flash mode (green light)

Its still not booting up and the pc is now saying it dose not recognise my device!!
What to do????

As long as you can get into flash mode(green light, when you connect to pc) you're ok, wel re trying on seus and eventually it will work
Edit- it can take around 10 retries in my experience

What do you mean by flash mode????
How do I connect my device to the PC since the PC is saying that the USB device connected is not recognised?

Connect it to your PC with USB, Then go to support Zone in Pc Companion then select Phone software update and click Repair and follow the instructions, it worked for me when pc companion decided to brick me...
EDIT: Or you could always Flash 2.3.4, tut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20151540 just follow the first two posts, I believe it will work if Flashmode is still working (The tut will tell you how to get into there)
correct me if I have said anything wrong, was in a rush.

This happened to me to, so you are saying I should use SEUS to update over and over until it works?

The flash ended fine, but the phone wont start, it is not allowing me to flash it agai because for my pc the device is disconnected and it is not charging. I am really desesperated. Any ideas?!? I had already installed the drivers for the ZEUS flash and for my phone!
Thanks

[Q]R800i wont turn on! red light blinking 3 times.
My Xperia play(R800i) wont turn on after i update. I change from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 to root my phone. After rooting, i update the software. It turns off by itself. I dont know what to do. When i pressed the on button it will blink red light 3 times. When i charged my phone, the light turns green. Green light means battery fully charged right? but why i still cant turn on my phone?
Bootloader: unlock
Root: Yes
Please help! its my new phone. Thank you!

Change battery !!

Bricked :(

I had just successfully rooted my xperia play r800i and was installing CWM. After the installation was successful, I unplugged the phone as Flashtools said but it won't start. Now it's not even being detected by Flashtools. It is being detected by my laptop only with the beep sound and nothing else.
Also my battery was around 20% while I was flashing so maybe that had something to do with it.
Waiting for help by a generous XDA member, again.
Thanks in advance!

I'd flash stock firmware now... You don't have to do something special. After that your phone should be working again.

Are you pressing it BEFORE you connect it ? You've got to press it before you connect it and keep pressing it until you connect it and green led appear. Because if you press it after you connected it, nothing will happen, phone will be just charging

[Q] Flashmode problem

I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.

Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.

I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

when you connect your phone to pc in normal mode then does it detects??

No my phone doesn't charge with the charger when its turned off. And my pc detects my phone when connected normally.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.

How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.
