Screen black and not responding (Xperia X10 mini)

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:42:42 GMT

So today morning I got a call from one of my college mates. Phone started ringing and

when I pressed the 'receive call' button, a message saying 'Android is not responding' appeared.

I selected 'Shut Down' option, hoping that it would simply shut down the phone. Since then the screen has been

black, not seem to respond to touches, only thing that works is a mechanical ringer volume button on the right

side of the phone.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Hi, try this .... Press and hold HOME button, then ON/OFF button (together) till phone vibrates and boots up.

None of that worked.

No reaction to HOME + on/off;
No reaction to HOME alone;
Only thing I still get is beep sound when pressing ringer volume buttons.
This is really weird because I've been using this phone for relatively short

time (since october) and it crashed for ABSOLUTELY no reason at all.
