Okay, has anyone else experienced this Xperia Z issue:- in that recently when inserting the charging lead into the mini USB socket (inadvertently the wrong way round, I admit - which often happens more at night in the dark) the phone is short circuited and shuts down. All attempts to switch the phone back on are to no avail. Inserting the USB charging lead, now the correct way round will not charge the phone either. In other words, the phone dies... but good news!! as it appears the phone is just in a comer. Following a period of convalescence, which can take up to several hours on occasions, the phone will reawaken by pressing the ON button, however, nothing until it decides it's ready.
The phone has just celebrated its 1st birthday and so I suspect the USB socket in the Xperia to be slightly worn; although looking at it and the USB plug they both appear to still be the correct shape. So to clarify, the USB plug, if attempted to be inserted into the phone the wrong way round will not go into the the phone’s socket all way way but just far enough to make contact with the wrong terminals resulting in a total power shutdown, Considering the watertight nature of Xperia’s design, does anyone know if the phone's USB socket can be repaired or replaced?
