Xperia z1 not charging on magnetic dock

2 days ago i woke up to my Z1 being dead , it was plugged into the magnetic dock overnight as i always do .

when i plugged it into the USB charger port i got a  red flashing light , i charged it for three hours but no change so as i was slowly pulling the USB cable out the light turned solid red so i stopped and left it at that for a further hour as nothing else was working and at least the light wasnt flashing anymore.

after that hour i got the phone to boot finally and the battery was showing 30% but now the phone wont charge from the magnetic dock and a message comes up saying that the phone is discharging faster than it is charging and the power supply isnt enough to charge the phone using same charger i use for the USB cable and or the magnetiv dock 

i have tried a repair and that didnt work and i am running the latest update 14.3.A.0.757

What would have caused this ?

It seem internal in the phone and not a charger fault .

The phone says its charging when you put it in the dock but all it does is drain the battery at about 1% a minute

Please help

I would contact Sony care and enquire as to where your nearest service centre is or take it back to the place of purchase and have them look at it http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
