D-Pad locked unless i slide open keyboard (wing)

well today I flashed my phone again (for the hundredth time...nothing new here) it was either open touch 5 lite or itspoppa rc5 that i had when it started...but my directional buttons on the d-pad went out 1 by 1 over the course of a few hours. i thought my up button was just broken at first...until i realized it worked if i slide the keyboard open. now when the phone is closed the d-pad doesnt work at all it doesn't even register that im pressing buttons to extend the backlight time...but if i slide open the keyboard magically they all work?! i've flashed to t-mobile stock and had the same problem and took out the flash card and flashed to open touch 5.2 and still have the same problem. the keys work because its PERFECT when the keyboard is open? i dont understand whats going on! ive searched and googled forever and never heard of anything like this =[ idk what it could be from?! could anyone please help me? thankyou
you can delete my thread in the rom development section i didn't mean to post there.
it sounds like the ribbon cable is loose between the two halves of the phone. but I could be wrong
i'd be willing to open the phone up and take a look...had to do that to a laptop to fix the screen before the ribbon vga was loose. does anyone know how exactly to open up the wing? lol. if anyone can point me towards a tutorial thatd be great.

Touchscreen doesn't work whenever keyboard is slid out!

HELP!!! I have searched all 4 forums and couldn't find any similar cases/solutions!
The touchscreen is DEAD after I slide out the keyboard,
but works again if i fully slide in the keyboard!
What is happening? the touch screen seems to be "Disabled" even if you only slide out the keyboard by a little bit.
Is this due to a physical damage of the cabling/touchscreen???
What should I do??

It's a hardware problem, your flex cable is worn out.
Dear harveydent,
Keybord is working but not showing in display. after opening keypad screen gets stuck & not rotating, & after closing keypad screen shows exactly what I typed on it.

I didn't say your keyboard or screen was broken. I said the flex cable was.
The hardware problem is the cable that connects your keyboard/main unit and lcd screen together (the flex cable). So your keyboard 100% works. Your screen 100% works. But when you slide open the phone, the flex cable stretches. Since it's worn out, some connections break when it stretches the main board can no longer send signals to the screen, so it appears to freeze. But the keyboard (and everything else) still work, so you can still type, only YOU CAN'T SEE IT since screen can't get any signals from the board. When you slide the phone back, the connection is restored and you can see what you typed.

[Q] fixing help!!

my brother gave me the xperia,and he said its broken.the thing is,the phone actually works,but when i slide the keyboard out,my screen goes black.i would like to fix it.the phone works whitout problems,but sometimes i accidentaly slide it,and it goes black,and wifi loads again,blah,blah...so can anyone hhelp me??
if u slide the keyboard than the screen goes blank.. maybe the problem was on the cable flexible... just googling and serching how to reassamble the X1 than se the cable flexible maybe its lax... or if its broken just by the cable flexible and replace the old ones with the new ones.. hope this will help...
yes, sounds like a ribbon issue
read this for starters and follow the advice to search for some more details

[Q] Problem with screen and keyboard

Hello ,
I am having a problem with my Sony Ericsson X1 , my screen the last days is black and i need to press many times the turn off button so i can turn on / off the backlight and work , but today its not working anymore this trick .... ! i took the battery off i put it after a bit time and still the same . Also i had a problem with my keyboard and screen when i put the keyboard down my screen wasnt going down also and was stacking in the normal way like having it close... !
Any1 could give me a hand , maybe any1 knows how much the screen problem will cost?
Thanks a lot.
It's a problem where the ribbon cable that connects the phone (in the keyboard bit) to the screen is worn and then it starts to have problems with the screen. In the end, for me at least, the screen wouldn't turn on at all. I just sent it to sony for a fix, and they said it was free.
That's what your problem sounds like considering the keyboard seems to be related to the screen
