But what do you guys recommend for assembly, to make the phones waterproof again?

The phone stopped working after a factory reset

After the factory reset, the device completely stopped working and would not turn on.

Why won't it connect to data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth?

I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium that died on me a few months ago. I was planning on keeping the phone and going on a sim only when my contract renews in June. Reason being, phones haven't progressed enough past this stage for me to warrant an upgrade.

However, the phone decided to turn itself off and upon turning it back on it stayed on for 10, 20, 30 seconds or so and then turned itself off again. This continuously happened. I managed to do a factory reset in the time it stayed on (plugged in but this didn't always help). The factory reset made no difference.

My theory is one of two possible causes;

1) It's shutting down due to overheating. It gets warm where the processor is, nothing new for this phone and not as hot as it gets when running something processor heavy. possibly just start up warmth.

2) The battery is knackered. It's been replaced once before but I can't remember why I had to do this.

Also, the rubbery compound found on the copper pipes underneath the processor is just that, rubbery. Should this be more like a paste?

Really don't fancy wasting money on parts if it won't fix my phone.

Any help, much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dean

I am not a novice and I have fixed Sony devices before and i am just baffled as to what it could be. I have used company before for previous screens but not ruling out faulty screens :/

- Have you guys experienced anything similar?

- And any solution if so..

thanks

I have a question regarding the Sony Xperia Z.

The Xperia Z seems to always notify me that it has a headphone connected while it has nothing in there.

The little flap/cover is broken off from the frame, wich is something i have to mention, so it does notify about the phone not being waterproof.

When i use SoundAbout and rearrange the sound output i can call and hear everything just fine. When i disable the app, i have to use the headphones with mic to be able to call or the phone will not use the earspeaker or bottom mic.

What i wonder is, even after a complete factory reset aswell as disconnecting the headphone jack from the motherboard, the phone still notifies about the headphones being plugged in when the phone boots into android.

What i would like to know is, can this be a motherboard sensor failure, or does this have to do with the fact that the flap is broken off too?

What i tried:

• Factory Reset.
• Jack unplugged on motherboard.
• Playing music while having the jack plugged and then unplug while playing.
• Force stop "Smart Connect", cleaning cache and data.

I cannot seem to find what the cause is, im beginning to think that either some circuit is messed up on the motherboard itself or that the flap/cover is the cause.

I hope somebody can help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

Ah no... thanks I tried that earlier as well as now but again I have to squeeze the corner to get it to stop being black :s or wait I guess... I think I have finally located the sensor!

I think it's at the top there on the motherboard...not sure how I'm going to adjust that if needed :s .
