Hi guys,

So after a year of a broken screen, I fixed my Z2, after like 5 months of using it, she decide to broke again... It fall on the floor from like a meter height.
I do have a glass protection screen which is a bit cracked (thank god the screen itself is fine..) after it fall and also phone does have a rubber cover on it.

So it fall, at first I thought that my phone died cause it wasn't reacting to power button at all. So I thought why not try turning off the Z2 to see if its still alive by pressing the red button where the sim card is.
And here we are now, can't turn on my Z2 at all. Even if the power button was broken but I knew that phone is still alive I would unlock it by pressing the camera button (ups.. too late..).

So any idea if its the button itself broken like a plastic thing under the button that touches the connector on the flex or is it the entire flex that is broken ? I've no idea if the rest of the buttons are working as turn off my Z2 and can't test it.

Any idea what might be broken and is there an option to turn on the Z2 without the power button ? It does react to charging for sure as the LED lights up red for a sec and then its orange as the battery is 75% charged and screen is working too cause it does show the Xperia logo with an Android one and it does show battery charging level etc.
