No I didn't, but the device functions properly now while being charged through Pogo pin slot. Battery life is alright now. The only problem is that it's not charging through micro USB portDid you check with the app provided in STEP8 ?

Do anyone have other links of the xperia z battery test app?Hi! Here are two PCB's, the first one are working, the other don't charge. What I can do?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: That are C6503 Xperia ZL
Any instructions on doing this on a Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503)? I've found a thread by munjeni containing a picture of the test points on Xperia Z1 Compact but I'm still very unsure what I should do -- the Xperia Z1 Compact does not have any labeled pinpoints in its battery as far as I can see.Problem: Xperia Z is not charging, not turning on, false battery stats or stuck in an non-software-caused bootloop... sometimes It's caused by a broken battery connector on the mainboard
try swapping battery first!
Ok guys... I present you...
XPERIA Z BATTERY BUG ***HARDWARE FIX***
It's a cheap n' dirty fix! Use at your own risk - I don't care if your house burned down because of this... :silly:
STEP 1 - Remove the Backcover (see this youtube video how to do it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNrtamZuf7E)
STEP 2 - Remove the Battery (Be very carefull not to crack your display doing this...)
STEP 3 - Bend Battery Connector Pins

STEP 4 - Get a very thin cable (eg. from a USB Cable you cut down) and a soldering iron
STEP 5 - Solder the cable to the battery pinpoint >> TH << and on to the testing pinpoint on the mainboard according to my images

Should look like this...
STEP 6 - Assemble everything together again and connect the phone to the original Sony Charger
STEP 7 - Wait 2-3h for the handset to be charged
STEP 8 *additional* - Boot up device and install Sony Mobile Battery Test from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/sony-mobile-battery-testing-app-version-t2527932 <--- (You can just take the .apk from the .rar file and install it)
STEP 9
SUCCESS! If your screen looks like this everything went fine:

Thanks for the swift reply! Nope, haven't yet purchased a new battery -- mainly because a new battery costs almost as much as I paid for the device itself. The phone itself was sold to me "as-is, for parts only", and according to the seller there was/is "some kind of an issue with charging". At one point, not sure how, I was able to boot up the phone enough to see that it's running an old-ish version of CyanogenMod but the OS seemed somehow unstable and the phone "died" (battery empty, or at least that's what the OS seemed to think, I guess) before I was able to do anything else with it.D5503 has similar battery connector but 6 pin so it looks different. Did you try swapping the battery? In most cases this solves the issue
