have you tried to contact your local support? Local support
if you can not find a service center near you, you can try to have it repaired by a trusted repair shop. however bear in mind that the warranty will be void, and water resistance is not guaranteed
Update, fix.
Talked to support and useless as my IMEI says it should have been sold in Panama and not Canada.
Had a friend help me pull the back off. Super simple, heated up and pulled off with a suction cup. Found 1 plug about and Inch below and 1/2" to the right of the camera was disconnected, one other plug was loose as well. Resealed with the old adhesive while I wait a week for my 5$ pack of new adhesive to arrive. We followed the instructions on www.ifixit.com, I'll try and put up a picture of the plug.
Do you have by any chance a picture of the location of that FCC connection?
squeeze between your fingers the top right hand side of the screen and back of phone, then press power button or volume, mine started working. but not the snap button, that is still dead. Will have to take it in anyway to get it replaced or fixed. let me know if worked:)
I have all the symptoms as well. I've got my screen on double tap to wake up.
I'm incredibly disappointed in this situation.
I can fix it sure, get it fixed sure. Sony, you do get that this is unacceptable right? Same thing is happening on my mother's Z5. This is usually a recall type situation.
If I have to send this thing back o want a cross ship on a refirb.
Totally unacceptable

I'll get it
Also this topic is not solved, I know that Sony does not have this problem on their radar. Which is why I am being so grump.
I don't think I am wrong expecting more.
I've owned countless Xperia, Erricson and Sony products for my whole life. I still buy VAIO even.
You guys at Sony really mucked this up. You had one job! Connections that don't shake lose inside a case that is glued shut.
I just got off the phone with Sony US and they don't support it, which I knew.
I am pushing the angle of defective product, lemon. Going back to Amazon with it
