They will have to replace the motherboard and that will cost almost as much as a new phone. An option will be to buy the dock and that way you can charge your phone.

Sorry to hear about your phone.

A service location needs to investigate the problem in your phone to say for sure but from what you're describing the problem is not covered by our warranty. A service location may be able to fix it for you but it might cost if it's not covered by warranty.

It might still be possible to charge the phone using DK26 (http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/charging-dock-dk26/) as this doesn't use the USB-port for charging.

Having to send it to sony for them to take a look see what happens after

Wondered about the charging cradle will it work even if they say the motherboard has been by the charging pins
