Those parts don't seem to be on the market. Your can check our site periodically http://www.etradesupply.com/sony/all-models/sony-xperia-z-l36h.html
You may want to take it to a repair shop. Maybe they can fix it without replacing the part.

thanks a lot, but I Dont think they can repair it without replacing the part possible cuz the pins in the middle are kinda melted together, good thing that i have the first and last pins still work so i can charge it, and thanks god I have rooted it and installed a recovery before all of this happened.

Xperia ZR cant get into flashmode or turn on

Hey there.
I have an Xperia ZR that is unable to get into flashmode to reflash and it cant turn on.
Sometimes when plugging it into a charger or computer theres a red led lighting on but it just stays like that no matter how long you leave it. Unable to turn on and cant get it into flashmode. Tried with a rubber band to keep holding volume down while have it plugged in with flashtool ready for an entire day with no result.
Have also had the battery out for an entire night but nothing has worked. Is it just broken completely or is there some way to get it to do something again?

Hmm... Sounds like you tried pretty much everything. How about some background info? How did it get this way? Is the bootloader unlocked? Probably not relevant, but you never know.
My best guess would be that there's a loose contact with the USB connector or something, but that doesn't explain why the display doesn't come on when the red light comes on (are you running a custom ROM?). In any case, by this point, the service center is probably your best bet, if you're under warranty that is; if not, you can try taking it to a 3rd party repair shop (that's how I got my screen replaced after my warranty ran out), or maybe disassemble it yourself to see if there's anything you can jam back into place. Don't know what else you can do.
Good luck.
P.S. What about fastboot?

I dont really know anything about it, its a friends phone that bought it used. Theres 100% no warrenty on it and if anything needs to be replaced i can do that but its just determining where the issue is.
Fastboot doesnt seem to do anything either. Also the battery does get hot after leaving it in the charger for ages so i dont think there is a lose connection there? But im not sure.
If theres an issue with the screen it should still boot and such.
I thought it might be an issue with the power and volume buttons but then it should still turn on when charging id assume, or partially turn on, until the battery charging screen at least.
Wait i just tried to plug it in again.
Now flashtool gives me this
07/022/2015 13:22:00 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
07/022/2015 13:22:00 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
however if i unplug it and replug it it doesnt detect it before i pull out the battery and put it in again. Holding either volume up or down doesnt do anything still, gives same message and doesnt go into fastboot or flashmode

That's... Interesting. And Flashtool just stays like that until you unplug it? It doesn't lose the connection (device disconnected) or anything like that? If it does lose it, it could be a battery issue...

... OK, I don't know what kind of black magic was used on that phone to screw it up like this, but it sounds like something's off in the battery circuit (just guessing). I'm not sure that's even fixable, but it couldn't hurt to try a mobile repair shop. Who sold you something this broken, anyway? eBay?

i dont know who they bought it from but yea seems like something with either the usb connector circuit and maybe buttons. The battery voltage is okay. Reading 3.5V and specified 3.7V on the battery so that should be eliminated as a problem

Nah, I didn't mean the battery itself, I meant (as you said) the connector circuit between the port, the battery, and the motherboard. You can try opening it up, see if there's anything you can do, but apart from a repair shop, I don't see what else can be done to save it. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.
Good luck. ?

Yea okay, thanks! I'll try disassemble it when i get the time to see if there are any loose connections and test the cables and such.
Take out the battery and try putting it on Flashmode.

Nothing happened
Any other suggestions maybe? Hopefully?
Upon further investigation, it appears that some of the back screws and the plasic in the edges behind the rear cover, is damaged. It appears as though someone has opened the phone previously and been unable to make it function again afterwards and then sold it online to get rid of it.
So ill open it up and check the insides of it, then give an update if there are more issues!

i was about to open a thread when i came across this one, i have similar issue with my ZR, i had bought it brand new, but after few weeks of lollipop update, one day the phone just started rebooting randomly, and after few hours it didnt boot back up, it just went dead. and same issues, when i plug in red light comes on, but only for few secs, and no help using PC companion or flashtool. i took it to repair shop they said theyll charge me for just checking what the problem is, i said no thanks. ill take it to repair shop n see what they say.

Xperia Z confusing problems, please Help me.

Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).
I read about 5 Million forums and got in contact with flashing my device. First i tried it with the Companion (no success), later with flashtool (no success).
All i have to say is that, i dont even now if my screen is working, i easily come in fastboot/flashmode and i'm definitly at the end of my possibilities. I need someone's help, and if you say my phone is completely damaged, then please say, so i can stop working on this matter and sell it!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the long read.

Maybe motherboard got damaged or check the connections
I checked again my inner phone and, okay im new in fixing phones, but it seems to me that nothing got damaged, everything looks fine, the flex bands don't look different as they are shown in the videos. The connections are 100 % connected. But i have to admit: New battery -> not working, check connections -> all are stable , PC companion repair -> nothing. After all i think i destroyed something but i cant figure out what. On Monday i'll go to a repair shop and let them check what's the issue. If somebody has another idea, please let me know, i will try to repair it then.

Hey thanks for answering! As i mentioned in my starting post, my PC detects my phone without any problem. I also used PC Companion to repair my phone. So i dont think it's a software matter. Also Flashtool detects my phone, i could even install a new software.
But i gave my phone today to a repair shop, they'll analyse the problem... for 20€.
I'll tell you what exactly is damaged in a few days if somenone has the same problem like me.
I destroyed the Display Connector. Sold my phone for around 40 euro. -.-

well , an interisting test can be:
connect it to a windows pc while it is off, and while you hold the volume button down
if you see something happening on a the windows pc there is still hope
( sound of an usb connection, or look after 10 seconds if windows tries to install a device
in the mean time it still looks like your device is off, so you shouldn't see anuthing on it... just on windows
if you have an installing device/ windows making sounds , you should find out more about flashtool

i did it but nothing happens...not on the pc or the phone...pls hlp me!!!
well in that case i'd say it probably is dead.
a new one on ebay ( from china) costs you around 220 usd
you can also get the mainboard from ebay for around 104 usd
but i guess those are your best options

hey i searched for the motherboard on ebay but its for c6903 but unfortunately mine is c6902...what do i do??
well, i'm not sure if there is much difference between the 6902 and 6903 , but i guess that's controlled by the mainboard, so after you replaced it, you have a c6903 i guess
but i'm not sure if that fits...
anyway, before you order that main board you should first try to remove your old one,
phones are smal, and there is of course a big chance of messing up.
if you do you might have a broken phone AND a mainboard which you cannot use....
further , i think you should be shure that it is possibl;e to use a c6903 mainboard in a c6902 , because i'm not sure that's possible

Rog phone 3 (Tencent edition) USB -C port charging but not recognized on my laptop.(Lenovo)

Model Name: ROG 3 trncent edition( ZS661KS)
Firmware Version:WW-17.0823.2012.131
Rooted or not: yes ( was trying to root)
Frequency of Occurrence: Got<HARDBRICKED>
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): no app used.(magisk or anything else)
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
My rog phone 3 (tencent), which i brought about 6 months ago. I never had any issues like this.
The other day i opened my camera and suddenly the front camera was not working. I restarted the phone, did factory reset, cleared camera data, but nothing solved the issue. I thought i have to upgrade the firmware. So i downloaded the new firmware (2012.143) and connected the usb c cable with my laptop ( lenovo ideapad 320) , but it did not recognize. i tried both ports. I never had this problem before. I unlocked the bootloader, i thought it might help. I also turned on the developer option and selected FTP protocol and USB debugging. But it still didn't connect. while i was trying to enter bootloader recovery mode I accidently put the phone on EDL mode and now its bricked . The indicator light is flashing when i connect to the pc but the PC isn't recognizing the port ( i downloaded the qualcomm EDL driver on my laptop also, but the port option is not showing at all). Is it hardware problem, But the phone was charging just fine.
please suggest some help
Sounds like a hardware malfunction or damage to something on the board (burnt out microchip or resistor something along those lines) something a cell phone or repair shop could have fixed but.. it sounds like you bricked it in combination with the other issue which your best bet now is a new rog phone and sell your current one for parts or repair.. just because the cost to repair it would probably be more than what it is worth as it would require professional repair.

Bro my phone turned on, and it functioned normally, i didn't brick it, it was probably battery dead, i charged it for hours and it turned on.. But how do you fix a power IC that supply power from the battery . Is it the one in the (picture) , Because sometimes when it charge it gives only the green light and black screen.
