My phone wont stay off and doesnt charge from wall charger or usb. Repair guy told me the issue is with the charging IC
so if somebody with a smashed xperia ZL with working board/charging IC can lend me , i can pay aswell.
any solution is also welcome for this problem.
Need it in India.
your battery is bad
Mostly this is not problem with power IC or anything. Repair people are not aware of anything and they are taking your for a ride. Does it boot? OR show SONY logo and go off on boot?
Change your battery and you are good to go. Same thing happened with me, and he told me same thing, after battery replace its working normally. Refer similar threads on this forum. You can order battery online from aliexpress.com or repair battery at your own risk.

Maybe you can repair it with official method. US or PCC . And you also can try to use the flashtool to intall the 2.3.4 4.A.0.2.58ftf 。。
IF they are not useful.
maybe anything trouble ...maybe CPU ,maybe mainboard（ my own opinion,but I hope not,)
you'd better find the after-sale service，let him check it.
good luck.
it was the mainboard: burned while phone charging...
My dealer ordered a new one for me...now Im waiting...
anyone having this trouble charging the phone?
Hello you there. I have a problem with my beloved xperia play and i think this will be one of the best places where i may get any advice with my problem. It all started when my Play fell of my hand and the digitizer glass has broken. Although it the glass was broken the digitizer was working just fine. It is obvious that broken glass is nothing esthetically nice so i decided to buy new digi. and replace it. And so i did it. Unfortunatelly something went wrong. Play was booting, vibrating, and recieving the calls BUT there was no visual. The lcd was not working. I was 'playing' with the phone for two days trying to guess what the heck is wrong. I even managed to update the software (baseband etc) with pc companion thinking the problem lied in software. Nothing more false. The software was ok. I decided to go with my phone to the nearest phone service so they can check what has gone wrong. They told me that there was a tiny (possible to see only though microscope) scratch on the flex cable from the lcd and that it has to be replaced (whole lcd). I was really despareted because i needed the phone a lot. It serves me more like a tiny pc rather than ordinary phone. I found a small shop/phone repair center where they had this lcd. Without any hasitation i've bought and replaced it. But my xperia didnt turn on! Moreover it didnt even turn on when i pluged it to the charger. Neither of my three computers found it properly after connecting via usb cable. It just prompting the message 'unknown device'. Instead the red light was constantly flashing (not 3 times in a row, but all the time). As i browse the internet i found that it may be battery issue. And so i wend to buy third part - a new battery. After insterting the phone has booted and it was working. I thought that it is all ok but no. The battery was draining realy fast. I mean realy by from 100 to almost 0 in about 6/8 hrs - of cource with wifi turned off, as well as gps, 3g etc. Well the other option was that the battery has to be calibrated properly. Unfortunately one night i fell asleep and didnt plug in the phone to the charger. When i woke up it was turned off. I couldnt turn it on again. The battery was drained 'below' zero so even with pluged it into charger it didnt boot. The red light was blinking the same as with previous battery. Neither taking the battery off or charging it for 5 hrs and more helped. yesterday i took it again to the phone service center. Today thay said that it is a problem with motherboard and it has to be replaced eventhough the phone boots up when the battery is charged with external charger. It still drains the battery a lot and didnt stop draining till battery level reach zero, the phone turn off and it could not be awaken without external interfere. I thought that it could be because of the update. I've found many posts on the internet about some faulty working sony devices after updating. But the guys from the phone repair told me that this is not a problem and the only problem is the motherboard. I mean - c'mon -replacing lcd, replacing digitizer, replacing battery and now i have to replace my r800i motherboard. I hardly believe that i am such a bad luck. Maybe you can give me some hints what to do with it. I really dont see me going to the other phone repair center and paying for another part. It is to much for me. Is it possible that it is only the usb /entrance/ fault, or is it the software problem. Please help me!!!!
Hi,
yesterday I bought a used R800i, the seller said I just need to charge the Battery. So back at home i plugged it to a charger an the LED near the power button startet blinking. First I thought it´s not a big deal but after a couple of hours it was clear that this is not alrigt. Even if i remove the battery the red light keeps blinking continuous (not 3 times or something similar, just every second once). I don´t know if it´s a software or hardware bug but could you help me to get it fixed?
best Regards
Lukas
It could be empty battery (but voltage level is not high enough to start charging).
Check with flashtool can you enter flash mode or fastboot mode (if you can, then it's probably empty battery)
If you can, check voltage level of battery with voltmeter.
It can be that motherboard is dead, but to be sure, you must know what is voltage level of battery.
For now, try leaving it charging, it might take some time (few hours or more) to actually start charging...

Over USB i only get unkown device, but USB with the Test Point works, measuring the Batter was 0 Volts but charging over hours didn´t help

If battery have 0 volts then it's dead and (most likely) can't be charged anymore. You need new battery, so you can know is motherboard is working or not.
But that is just my opinion, and i could be wrong...
Maybe to try and charge battery from external source of 5V power , easiest way is cut some usb cable or take two wires from PC's molex connector (red is +5V, black is GND) and charge it for shortly (about 30sec-1min) and measure does it have at least 3.2V. Repeat short charging untill it does. If it stay on 0V then is dead for sure.
I was really able to charge the battery over a cut USB cable. I got it to boot until lookscreen (digitizer does not response) but then the battery turned hot and the Xperia shut down. I ordered now a new battery then it should work again

Digitizer not working could be faulty slider-flex cable or simply software error due overheating. You'll know with new battery...
Flex Cable looks like this, should I get a new one?

Yes, that's slider flex cable.
But wait untill you get new battery. Then you'll know does it have more problems or it is working normally
Sad News, today I got the new battery and i was even able to boot up the phone, but like the last time i was able to boot it up the battery and the mainboard got hot. I think the loading circuit is broken. So there are two options 1. buy a external charger for the batterie or 2. sell the phone as rarely used on ebay
No really I´m selling it, even if i get a charger theres also the problem with the not working digitzer. Thanks for your Help but this is ways to big for me.
Regards Lukas

Sorry to hear that. Obviously problem is much bigger and hard to tell what is wrong without some proffesional look into it (lot of reasons for phone to get hot by itself - there is short circuit somewhere and that's why it's draing battery fast and causing overheating). I don't think external charger will solve problems.
Anyway, good luck :good:
My ZL is suddenly dead..not bootloop.
I try Pc companion but it can't detect my phone even when i press vol down when I plug it via usb

nothing..just taking pictures then it's off..as the symptoms I mentioned above..
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.
Hello! I have problem with charging. Since few days I just cannot charge my phone propertly. It changing from fast charge to normal and again to fast one, didnt charge at all or just charge some then go crazy. Tried everything -using another charger, cleaning apps or cleaning port. It might be broken charging port but atm im on holidays. Tried to ask for help LG support but they said it qualify to send my phone to repair. Foud wireless charger at hotel but it also disconnect sometimes. Is there anything that i could do by myself to repair/make stable charging? Yesterfay i've found that if i charge phone on a straight line from charger its working, but now it keeps "disconnecting and reconecting". Also I have open bootloader without root, but probably thats change nothing.
One more question at the end. Have you ever send phone to support center? How long it takes them to repair?
If you know something please help, feeling hopeless.
