READ IT TO THE END

OK . Will help you.

First of all did you ligh green appear ,even for a sececond.

Download this http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

Update servise 1.Install IT

2.Run it -->Click "I ACCept"and click "Begin"

3.Choose you phone--->CLICK NEXT and now the hard part--..

If you phone is stuck in some kind ol softwere loop,he will not charge not connect and e.t.

HOLD THE BACK BUTTON AND DON't RELEASED ,connect the phone to the PC via usb cable.

Now listen carefully (it will blik in red with interval 4 sec maybe, you must not Release the back button until you see that the update survise is started the progress of updating ) This may taka from 2-5 minutes whe you see that the updater is updating release it.

and w8.The phone will go out of loop and will start normaly.THe fist start will be little slowly but it will start.THIS is for you X10 mini pro.

FOR X10 mini

Your phone is not chargin,or even when plugged in usb(red light Blikn 1, or red light blik3 time ,or red Light blinks 1 with 3-4-5 second interval)

This mean thath your phone is out of battery and it stuck in some kind of loop software ussie (maybe cause of trying to flash some rom ,kernel os software)

You will need Multimeter to check the bater(without dissamble the phone) just put ot the cable of the batery and test it with Multimeter (1st and 3rd pin not the middle one)

if batery below 3.50 and it stay on one position Batery is not dead and phone will be fixed

After you check it put the batery cable on and again and put usb calbe into pc and phone.--

Now again after you connect the phone to usb and pc ---use multimeter to check again the batery while charging .!

IF it charge fast like 3.20 and after a 10-20-30 sec it go lik 3.21 .3.22 this mena it stuck in loop.

Ok now the FIX: You will have to Hold the back button the whole time without release it (The UPdate servise must be start before connecting the usb ,and you have to go to the last step)

When it reach 3.50 V or more it will find your phone PC and the green light will come on .!!!DONT RELEASE IT !! W8 UPDATE SERVISE TO PROCEED TO UPDATE (DOnt RELEAST EVEN WHEN DOWNLOAD UPDATES) You CAN RELEAST WHE IT GOES http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5395/w595n.jpg see this picture after this progres you can release the back buton ..

BE VERY CAREFULL IF U TRY THIS THE 9V BATTERY GETS REALLY HOT I WOULDNT RECOMMEND U TRY THIS IT MIGHT BREAK UR PHONE IT JUST HAPPENED TO WORK FOR ME AND I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE THE PHONE WAS BASICALLY DEAD HAD BEEN FOR 2YRS --- SONY SHOULD BE ASHAMED THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM -----

Hi my xperia x10 mini just stopped charging for no reason at all it did the same it wasnt charging not getting recognised just didnt turn on at all - i have been searching for 2 yrs online i love my phone and paid £109 pounds for it thinking it would last me for years . i found this guy who said   if u buy a 9v connector plus a 9v battery  - take the back cover off ur phone and to the left theres a little rubber cover take that off to reveal a little white connector take it out i used a toothpick but BE CAREFULL . on ur 9v connector theres a red and black wire stripped it back to reveal the wire -and on ur little white connector theres 3 wires red,black, green ignore the green - look  at ur little white connector to see were the black and red wire goes - get ur 9v connector and put the red and black in to the slots on the back of ur phone it was a little bit difficult but i managed it then clip ur little white connector back in mines didnt clip right in just clip it in as far as it will go- then get ur 9v battery and connect it to the 9v connector  BE CAREFULL AS IT GETS HOT I MELTED MY BATTERY A LITTLE BIT it should only take a few seconds disconnect ur 9v battery -- I cant believe it my phone blinked red and switched on it had 3% charge my phone had  nothing for 2yrs it was dead yehaaaaaaa its on -  now disconnect everything and charge as normal and NEVER let ur phone get a low charge or drain dead.

My laptop still wont recognise my phone so i decided to get a usb cable that connects to ur laptop or mains mines does either i cut the small end off stripped back the black wire to reveal 4 wires red,black,green,white  and yes i used the  red and black wire to do what u did with ur 9v connector wires  then clip my little white connector in to then i plug the other end in to the wall socket the mains and its nearly fully charged its taking a bit longer but its working i set my phone back to factory reset  i just cant believe this it actually work so my 2 yrs of searching the internet worked out .I hope this works for u and any one else whos having problems.
