Z5 Dead display

Veghist — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:43:14 GMT

Hi, I have a week old Z5. This morning it started to heat up, the display begun to flicker, and after a while it went dead. For some time tapping or later vigorous shaking returned it for a few seconds, but now it us completely dead. The touchsceen aand the phone seems to work though, it charges, I can turn it on and off, apoearantly boots, takes photos. I guess it would receive incoming calls to, but I had to remove the sim, as i cannot enter the sim pin.

Any advice? Repair for weeks?😣

Thanks, will try. As earlier it was in my wet swimming trunks pocket can this be water damage? I think because prior to going wrong the earphone jack plugged in message appeared a few times. How can I check the liquid damage indicators on a z5?

There. Is one what looks like it in the side of the sim door socket (white) and one beside the yellow sim socket relese button that may be red. But i can' really see well.
