[Android Central Question]

Hello everyone. I'm having the classic problem with Xperia Z (C6603) - sudden death.

I read and tried all the methods I found on different websites and forums, but this time none of them work.

Simptoms:
- doesn't turn on
- doesn't charge
- while connected to charger, the red led is foggy (not bright red)
- PC doesn't read the phone
- PC companion doesn't find the phone
- Manually installing the driver doesn't help the detection of phone
- It doesn't respond to any combination of power+volume up+volume down

Last time when I had this problem, I pressed power + volume up for 120 seconds and the PC detected the phone, then the battery charged and I was able to boot it.

- The 120 seconds method didn't work this time
- I tried different cables, no difference
- EMMA doesn't read the phone
- ADB Tools doesn't help

Besides smashing the phone with a hammer, is there anything else I can try?
Sending it to a repair service is not an option I can afford.
Thanks in advance!
