Sony Xperia Z1: The device doesn't turn on and draws little electricity

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 11:50:01 -0700

First it began to bootloop i think and then i couldn’t turn it on at all, then i decided to flash new firmware(5.1.1 stock) i did that right i have done it many times, i supposed it was a hard brick. Then it turned on started to optimize the apps then again it shut down.

And now i can’t enter either fastboot or flashmode. When i plug it in to charge there’s only red light. I tested it and the amperage goes from 0.03A to 0.19A even if i unplug the battery.

So i assume it’s some IC chip failure.

Sony Xperia Z1: Urgent! The device failed to update and it's not charging

Sat, 20 Oct 2018 05:07:17 -0700

Hi,

yesterday I tried to make a software repair to my xperia z1 using xperia companion program but it failed because the battery ran out, when I power up the device a sony screen appears then a massage says "software update failed. make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"

The problem is if the charger is not in the phone won't power up but when I plug the charger in a red led lights for 1 second then boots showing the sony screen and that massage then shuts down and it's still doing that like a cycle. Is the phone is charging or not? and how to solve this?

Sony Xperia Z1: Rear glass lifting after vibrator motor replacement

Mon, 11 Dec 2017 05:14:15 -0700

Hi guys

I recently replaced the vibrator motor in my Xperia Z1 L39H and now after a few days, the top left corner of the rear panel will lift slightly, around where the camera is. I suspect the NFC pins are pushing it out and I have already tried a couple of different adhesive gasket stickers. I was also careful to degrease with 100% IPA before putting the adhesive on. Anyone else had this issue? I've seen answers relating to this happening when replacing the screen glass on a Z3 but not the rear glass of a Z1.

Any advice appreciated.
