what to do with my dead Xperia M5? should i just throw it away?
i see no point sending for repair. i had the old problematic auto-shutdown batch and still sitting in my drawer.
can't even power on. even if i keep charging power.
Not sure why yours cannot even power on, but for my case, I can still turn it on after connecting the charger.
If you manage to turn it on, you can try disable some band frequency to avoid the auto-shutdown issue. I heard there are some success with this method, but recipient will be worse.
But at least you still can use it rather than sitting in the drawer
