Welcome to the forums, Dan! Sorry to hear about your problems.
Have you tried a factory reset?

Does your PC still recognise the phone? You can try and use either flashtool or the Sony Update Suite to reflash your phones firmware.

Thanks everybody for your answers

Sadly, this factory reset is for the X10 mini pro, my Xperia Mini Pro does not have the keys used in this guide.

Luckily I managed to get out of this inconvenient situation, I'll explain in case somebody is in my same situation.

Since the phone starts up by itself, the usb connection (flashtool, fastboot) will not be recognized, PC companion and SEUS will not solve your problem if you have unlocked your bootloader...

but if you disconnect the battery and then quickly connect the phone in fastboot mode; the phone disconnects itself after a few seconds, so you have to be prepared and quick. You can achieve a fastboot connection for the time that is necessary to lock your bootloader again.

Then you can use PC companion to reset your phone to stock firmware and keep it going

Thanks again for your answers
