When I switch on my xperia mobile, it's switch on and off continuously.
Nothing is displayed except
XPERIA and then SONY
then again XPERIA and SONY.
I have never faced such problem.
Sony care failed to find any solution.
What do you suggest now?
I thought it's virus attack, removed micro SD card and sim.
Still no change.

Install a fresh ROM. See if it responds.

It is commonly referred to as a boot-loop. It may happen due to corrupt cache/data.

What is the exact model of your Xperia?

It's Sony Ericsson's XPERIA RAY ST18i.
Old mobile.
Icecream sandwitch os.
May be corrupt cache /data problem.
What to do?
When I Connect it to PC nothing can be seen or done.
Therefore I can't understand how to install ROM.
More help required.
