Problem with Charging the Sony Xperia Z

I have a problem, i bought this phone some days ago, it worked just fine the first days.. it was charging like it was supposed to be.

My issue is that today it stopped charging with the charger ? it doesnt recognise it at all.. when i connect it on the pc it charges, but when i connect it on the wall it doesnt do anything. I tried the same charger with other 2 phones (samsung and nokia) and they were charging fine. So, it's not the chargers problem.. it just doesn't recognise the charger for a reason now after 2-3 days. Any clues ?

The battery also is drained like hell.

Please tell me what to do im so dissapointed by my new phone 😕

yes is the original sony wall charger as it came with the box with the sony usb cable of course. I have tried all the wall sockets in the house and nothing 😕 what i don't get is why the charger works with 2 other phones i have tried to charge with.. Any knows bugs on this ? Tried several times to set to manufacture settings.. still nothing 😕

that's quite odd, you could try to repair your phone with SUS or PCC but it might be a hardware issue, take your phone to a Sony repair center ASAP

Have you tried the suggestions above? Different chargers, wall sockets, update the phone using PCC or SUS, restarted by press and hold power and volume up, etc? 

If you have and the phone still doesn't chargers I suggest that you send the phone to service for examination. Please contact the local support for more information:
