Xperia Z1 Not Working

Hello. Happy new year!

I was using my phone yesterday and suddenly it got turned off. Now the phone won't turn on, charge or show any LED notification that the phone's working. I've been going through forums here and I tried to use the power and volume up button method. There was no response from my phone. I had it charged overnight through the wall charger and tried to connect it to my computer hoping to fix it with PC Companion but my phone's not detected on my computer. I hope there is a way to backup all the photos from my phone including the photos from new year's. 

Can someone help me out with this? 

Thanks in advance!

When you try to charge your phone through the charger, does the LED light work?

Did you try the physical hardware reset button near the sim card slot?

No, the LED light doesn't work.

Yes, I've already tried the physical hardware reset button and the phone did not vibrate like it should.

I've already tried connecting it to the computer for more than an hour a few times. No signs of the phone being charged.

U may try to push (power and vol down/ power and vol up) while to connect to ut usb 3.0)for a few times just simply try. They said it's the battery dryout and u need to jump the battery(horrible describe XD)

I had the phone charged for over 48 hours through a wall charger. Then, I tried to give it a shot by connecting it to a computer holding the power and vol up/ power and vol down button and to my surprise my phone vibrated! I knew my phone was revived after I saw the boot screen. I took a backup of all the data on my phone. 

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.

Even though my phone seems fine now, the battery still drains rapidly like the issues faced by everyone else here. I have already tried factory reset and software repair though PC Companion. If there's anything else I need try please let me know. Thanks!
