Z1 Compact everything stopped working

My phone has been having the usual not charging problem for a while, which is solved on and off by soft reset (red button under sim card cover) and force off/charge (holding power and volume down). 

The issue im having now is the phone turning itself on and off constantly, starting up, allowing me to out in my swipe code, then it keeps coming up with various things not working. 

Such as Xperia home not working, email not working, etc.  it wont allow me to do anything with it at all, cant access anything.  I tried the soft reset, doesnt work.  Ive tried to run the software repair through the pc companion, but it either cant access the device or the phone turns itself off before it can access it.

Im happy to Hard reset the phone, but I cant get that far as I cant access settings......

HELP!

Question is why do you want to reset a phone without turning it on - Sounds like it's stolen or something and turning it on will enable it to be traced or tracked

as soon as i turn the phone on, it started to ping up errors then turned on and off every couple of minutes, wouldnt let me do anything other than use my swipe to unlock the screen

Has someone been messing around with it and flashed a different firmware? try removing the Sim card and testing and also retry the repair
