HI there,
i used a magnetic charging cable (no not sony original) to charge my z1 in my car. I accidently changed
the polarity of the charger because it was night and i was in a hurry.
I started charging with 30% battery left. After i reached my destination it was almost empty and dead (not charged).
I was able to power on the phone and it had 3% akku left.
From there on i am not longer able to charge the phone.
If i'm pluggin it to the wall charger, the red LED is blinking, but the phone did not charge even over night.
I tried hard reset with the red button in the card slot and the power+volume up hard reset.
If im plugging the phone to the PC (win7), the PC plays the USB connect sound and 4 seconds later the USB disconnect sound, then again every 4 second the USB disconnect sound.
Whats your opinions? Internal charger dead by wrong magneticcharger polarity?
Or accu dead by shortcircuet of the magnetic charger? If this is the case, is there a way to change the accu?
I would say sony will not give warrenty if a wrong cable is used, but is there a way to repair it instead of buying a new?
(Killed a 350€ phone with a 5€ magneticcharger ...).
Regards
Manu
