1) backup everything

then

2) repair with

Update Service (SEUS)

I would just repair it with Update Service, your phone doesn't have to be on to use it, if SEUS doesn't work then it is a hardware issue

This seems to be a common problem with the Mini. They have a thread over at XDA that even shows videos of it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373360 (Xperia Xperia Mini and Mini Pro have the worst touchscreen ever seen!).
