Xperia 1 II reported an explosion at the bedside → Turned out to be a DIY modification | Smartphone digest

Sony’s flagship two generations ago, the Xperia 1 II.

Due to Docomo’s large discount campaign, even a single terminal can be purchased at a price lower than the mid-range Xperia 10 IV, which is in the 40,000 yen range, and I have the impression that sales have been recovering recently.

However, domestic users of such Xperia 1 II have reported that the device caught fire and exploded, and it seems to be a bit of a topic.

This personThe Xperia 1 II that I had on my bedside exploded and woke me upand that.

Certainly, as far as the image is concerned, it is a level that can be convinced even if it is said that the damage is severe and “exploded” for just ignition and smoke.

There are reports that the Xperia battery swells, but there are almost no reports that the terminal ignites or explodes, and in that sense, the impression is that it is a smartphone that can be used with peace of mind.

That’s why this report was quite a shock, but if you look closely at the reply, you will find a new fact.

Install a thermal pad. Furthermore, it seems that the coil for wireless charging that became an obstacle at that time has also been removed.

Also, repairing the USB Type-C terminal that “there was an abnormal resistance”? seems to be doing it myself.

To the untrained eye, it seems that messing with this USB port was the cause of the explosion, but what do you think?

From my point of view, just removing the back panel is enough to add a thermal pad and remove the coil.
I respect that courage, but I’m still afraid of remodeling. . .

In particular, it seems that it is quite risky to mess around with the power supply and the battery.

A little while ago, we reported that some users were porting the 5000mAh battery of the Xperia 1 IV/5IV to the Xperia 1 II/5 II and modifying it to increase the capacity. It’s dangerous for users to put their hands out.

Anyway, the explosion of the Xperia 1 II this time only damaged the terminal.
