Need Advice Regarding Dead Sony Xperia P

[serialklr]

Dear All, Aoa,

My friend has a Sony Xperia P. It had some issue as it used to get slow in normal operations like using wifi, browsing etc. Afterwards it didn't boot and later won't Start at all. He went to the market, the repair shop said battery was OK but motherboard is dead. Since the model is quite old, he could not find a replacement for the mobo. I need your positive suggestions please:

1. Should I just declare the case hopeless and tell my friend to throw it away?
2. Should I start a thread to buy a damaged Xperia P from PG community and hopefully use it's motherboard for my friend's dead Xperia P
3. Do you know anyone on PG that may be able to fix the phone?

Your comments will be much appreciated. Thanks

1. Yes. The Xperia P isn't worth anything now.
2. No. It's too old.
3. There won't be any, since it isn't possible without a new mobo.

Sorry for your friends loss.

OLX is your best bet bro, see if you can scavenge a cheap one from there, otherwise consider it a lost cause and move on as that phone is quite obsolete now and even if you somehow spell it back to life it wouldn't be worth much, we're talking 3-4k here, after repair that is. So yeah!
