Help Xperia Play Frozen! ( what do I do?! )

Hi there. I was playing Super Mario world on a emulator and suddenly the phone locked up and froze. The screen went black!

My phone won't turn on now!

What has happened? :(

I'm running Android 2.3.4

Any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like a Hardware problem. Ive heard a few people having problems with the cpu so that could be it

If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:

  1. Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
  2. Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
  3. Press and release the Power button
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

Your phone is boot looping, you were too aggressive in removing stuff...

turn your phone off, and try holding down the back button as you plug in your phone... If the led is green, goto wotanserver.com, choose the firmware appropriate for your phone, and it'll do a painless flash... You will lose all type data, though...

Pull the battery. it'll stop booting.
You'll want to have the phone completely off before you plug it in (i.e. Pull battery, wait 30 seconds, put battery back in, DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON, hold down the back button, while holding the back button plug in the usb cable connected to your computer. The led should turn green.)
