U have a dead battery I suppose.
I also had a similar experience while I was browsing Chrome. Suddenly it tuned off.
If you have it under warranty, go to the service centre and get it replaced. They replaced my phone too with a new one.
If not, then you are in trouble. Search in ZL forums about this battery issue and you will find many.
Also there are some tutorials on replacing the battery. You will find that there are links for a new battery too.
Good luck.

I have a similar situation in that I bought a used ZL. The person selling the phone said he was using it as a GPS and the battery drained. The phone died and, after charging, it would start and reboot at the Sony logo. When I brought it home, it will not even power on. I connected it to a power source, the red LED comes on, and goes off after 5 to 10 minutes. I ordered a new battery and hope that solves the problem. If not, I wasted money on a replacement battery and the phone :(

Got my battery in the mail today. In replace the existing battery and everything works except for the external speaker. When someone calls me, the phone only vibrates. I wonder if the ROM has anything to do with it. It's running the latest 5.1.1 for the c6506.
