Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our <A href="https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/Welcome/Discussion-guidelines/m-p/349678#U349678" target="_blank">Discussion guidelines.</A></P> <P>I'm sorry to hear about your phone.<BR />It's not a common issue that the Micro USB-part break on any of the Xperia models. If you connect the charger at the wrong way and/or that your not gentle when removing the charger, it can of course break.</P> <P>It's also recommended to use a Sony original charger to avoid damages to this part.</P> Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:37:32 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/trouble-recharging-my-xperia/m-p/3208760#M366509 Hampus 2014-04-10T09:37:32Z
