Sony Xperia Neo not turning on

Hi. I wanted to updated my phone to ICS. I followed all the instruction in the thread http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239 .. WHile flashing it said... Flashing loader.. then an Error occucred and it aborted flashing. Now my Mobile wont turn on at all. Even when i connect to charger the warning light also doesn`t show a red colour for charging(like it used to). Now even PC is not detecting the mobile and not even SUS. Please tell me what to do.....

was your phone charged at least to 50% when you started the flashing process?, try this

1st remove the battery

2nd press and hold the power button for 10-15seconds

3rd put the battery back on

4th DO NOT attempt to turn it on

5th connect it to a wall charger and wait 30min or so

First of all thanks for a quick reply ....well... sadly i did try turning it on before your reply... one thing that is different now that when i did turn it on... the warning light blinked green once and the mobile vibrated... then it turned off again and no response .. I pressed the power button again and no response.. but when the remove and reinserted the battery the same thing happened.. SO i tried to repair it with SUS... when i connect with with USB cable the green light stay on and my PC detected the mobile... but after a few seconds the light goes off and systems doesn't detect device any more..

I would do what I'd suggested and leave it connected for 1 hour or so then take the battery out and repeat the process. the next step will be to borrow a battery.

Don't lose fait, I think that you didn't had enough battery (50% or more) before flashing

OK I took it off charging... Now When I connect it to my PC.. the red light keeps blinking and the system says that a USB has Malfunctioned and is not recognizable. If i press teh power button the red light blinks three times and nothing else happens....
