    Hi everyone,

    I bought my Z5 Premium a few months back and I dropped it a couple weeks ago, it cracked the rear cover but that's all, worked fine for a couple days then all of a sudden it went off (had 60% battery) then I couldn't turn it on, no red light for charging, I've tried all the tips like holding the power and volume +, yellow button inside the SIM card slot etc etc. I took the back casing off and the battery looked crumpled, so I bought a replacement Sony battery and swapped it over, red light came on for 5 seconds and has never came back, no matter how long I charge it for. So is this a motherboard problem or is it maybe the charger link in the phone itself? The charging cable works and it's a Sony cable w/Sony plug
