Hmmm i'm no expert but just wanted you to check a few things. I'm sure all the expert users here can help you much better.
Is there any damage on the LCD? Cracks?
Are you able to see anything on the display? What exactly happens when you power on your X1?
Did you try updating your software with SEUS (i.e. using volume down + power button)? Do the colour stripes appear normally during this step on your screen?
Try looking into "Xperia ROM and Guides" thread in General category of Xperia X1 if you're brave enough for disassembling and checking your phone's internals (Only in case its out of warranty). There are chances that something might have happened to your LCD flex cable stopping your phone from booting normally.
Don't worry too much. I guess it might just be software issue. It surely can be solved, hope there's no serious damage to your phone internals.

I am facing the problem recently last 2 3 days
my Xperia restarts automatically
sometimes there is 30% to 40% charging left still its shut automatically and never been start.. i have to change new battery
any solution for this or anyway to find the problem?
regards
anybudy would like to answer this please?
I'm having a similar problem...my x1 sometimes shuts down while in the middle of doing something, like opening apps, sliding out the keyboard or even navigating touchflo. I suspect it could be a battery problem, as someone in the forum discovered, having also shut down problems, that his battery is loose and the connectors are not properly met so he stuck a bit of hard paper to fix it, but I checked mine and the battery is not loose. I don't want to spend on a new battery if these shut downs weren't really cause by faulty batteries, so yeah anyone has a clearer understanding on this?
Hi all
I am also having a similar problem the past 2 days and as of now i cant use the qwerty keyboard because just as i begin to slide the qwerty out the screen goes black and the phone need to be rebooted.
I have just changed to Valkyrie 2.4 yesterday thinking that maybe its was software problem with Touch X but the problem still persists. Only difference is that with Touch X the phone would reboot itself.
Anyone else having any similar issues and what would the fix be, or shall i be off to my nearest service provider for repairs?
Thanks
Uhm.. about that problem when you slide it out and the device turns off.. i had that too and i send it in to repair.. it will probably be fixed under warranty, and stock rom or custom rom doesnt matter the problem was still there... and it happend to me 5 days ago..

'When i slide the thing out it sometimes restarts'
I used to have that with the stock ROM so this all might be more software related...
yeah I am having the same problem, No Water Damage btw. i found that if i sometimes in portrait mode if pressure is applied to the top right region, it will shutdown and/or restart. When I slide my screen up to landscape mode it screen is just black. I'm going to contact Sony Ericsson to see what they have to say about this.

It resets when the phone freezes. Sometimes it freezes so bad you have to manual reset.
My phone is doing the same thing but when i slide it up. The screen goes blank and then it restarts by itself. I never flashed my phone so I thought it was a firmware issue. I finally updated to the R3A firmware and lo and behold the same results, but instead it didn't restart, it just turned off or the screen goes blank. I've sent the phone to Sony Ericsson and they told me that I would have my phone back in 7 to 10 business days, but they're liars!!! It's been 13 business days and counting and no word as to whether the phone can be fixed or updates on status other than it's in "work in process". So then I called again today and complained to SE and the result is that they are "awaiting parts and Xperia parts are on back-order". After further probing SE told me that they would call me on Monday to officially let me know what the hell is going and why it's taking so long to repair my phone. I paid $800 usd for the phone and I would expect that their repair service would be a lot better and quicker than what it is! During my wait time for my phone, my PS3 broke down, I sent it in, got it fixed and returned already. That was within a week. There is definitely something wrong I tell you! They just need to send me a new phone!
Sorry about my rant guys, but I'm pissed!!!
My damn phone has the same issue, Until now, this hasn't been repaired for it's crack. And I'm almost out of warranty days, I think I bought it 2md day after the xperia was released. I'll try testing abou the presuure point though. I give you update
I did have the same problem..
Hi... I did have the same problem n I couldn't find any solution... So i send it to repair...

Hi guys I've got a HTC Ignito and Id like abit of advice the touch screen on my phone seems to be acting up as u can press on the left hand side and it will detect pressure but only the top and bottom 5mm will work properly the rest it will activate what is on the opposite side or will do nothing.
when Ive tried to calibrate the screen it just constantly repeats the calibration process non stop but if you do a hard reset it will start working properly but as soon as you reset phone it messes up again.
Any one any ideas is the touch screen broken or is it another problem its got the stock rom on it
Sorry for the bad structore of post feeling abit tired as been up for hours annoyed at my phone.
I noticed a simmilliar issue starting a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the X-axis of the digitizer starts to die. In my case it only detects touches in Y direction, but not in X.
So far it only appeared under hot condition like sunlight or constantly running device in craddle. After cooling down it always came back to normal behaviour (so far)
Cheers bud for the reply. Its weird tho as its same as yours as it will detect the Y axis movemnt as when i hadnt hardrest it you could minamise the clock but that was it. Simalar problem happened to my grandads orbit and acted like urs then got progressivly worse over a few months.
I wonder if anybody knows if it would be sortedby getting a new touch screen.
HI...
Hopefully we are not the only ones... But yeah my MDA Compact (Diamond on T-Mobile UK) is doin the same thing. Like you guys, mine has staterd to get worse, before it was just a few edge icons that i could'nt press..but now sometimes pressing the screen anywhere does nothing, all i can do is scroll up or down.
Axelpix... you make a good point about temp...mine gets quite warm when charging on the USB. I will try to see if this is causing the problem.
Any info on fix would be greatly welcomed.
PS i'm running the Windows 6.5 Energy ROM. 14/07/2009
Hi guys least im not alone I think the only way to fix this problem might be to replace the touchscreen im just looking to see how much it would cost to buy a new one and if its easy to just replace the screen or if it comes attached to the lcd screen like on the orbit
continuous request to calibrate the screen
Yes, I have experienced this when i switched the handset on for the first time after purchase but it went off when I forced a restart to the handset.

Yeah this def doesn't belong in dev, it'll get moved.
However, I have had this happen to me twice.
First time, I dropped my phone in slushy wet snow. (NINJA'd the battery out, gave it a 2 day vacation in a bag of rice, and when it came out it was functioning other then those lights coming on). Eventually it stopped.
Second time, I dropped my phone in a cup of coffee (don't ask....), again with the rice and a couple of days later powering it up was causing the touch lights to come on and trackball light to sporadically blink. I didn't feel like waiting it out this time, plus the coffee had made it in between my screen and the front glass, so I tore my phone completely apart, cleaned everything with alcohol and q-tips. Soon as I was done I (half way) put it back together to try powering it up, sure enough the lights were no longer staying on.
My guess, water damage and/or something is shorting out internally.
Just my two cents, YMMV.

Hello Guys. My problem is like this. Yesterday morning My S4 Active was functioning well but suddenly the screen went off and all the other things worked. I tough removing the battery and putting back on was going to resolve my problem but it does not. All other things seems to work well. The phone rings, vibrates, and led works. I opened the phone and cleaned all contacts and elements on the board with an electronic cleaner and a small brush. Not the first time I opened a phone. I want to know has anyone else has experienced this issue. What must be wrong with this phone. Is something wrong with the screen or there must be something with the board? Can i try anything to repair the screen. It seems like the screen is not getting power. Thank you
Hello Guys !
I have a big massive Problem with my Note 8 SM-N950F.
I was watching Youtube and my Phone has worked fine no Problem no Green Screen till suddendly my Screen went full Green Flickering mode and I dont know what the Reason is. I restarted the Phone and it worked again no problem for 30min then it went back to Green flickering screen.
I have try : Restore the Phone as New completly Wipe out / Result = Negative
Installed a Custom Rom / Result = Negative
I did not dropped the Phone nor does it has a Water Damage.
The Green Flickering screen only comes when Im in the System but while I am on TWRP it never shows up so I think it has something to do with the system and not Hardware.

A full wipe and flashing the latest official firmware usually solves non-hardware issues. If you tried that and the issue is still there, then it sounds like a hardware issue that would need repair (hopefully within warranty).

Motherboards can be faulty, etc. It doesn't have to be caused by the user. If you flash stock with full wipe and the issue persists then the only remaining variable is hardware. Either that or maybe you didn't do the full wipe when flashing latest firmware. Not sure what else to suggest beyond those two possibilities. Hope you get it working.
I had this also on my N950F. It happened very suddenly while I was using it:-
* Greenish tint
* Reduced brightness capability
* Flickering
* ~half-inch border of more intense tinting on all four sides
Cut a long story short - couldn't fix it with a complete factory reset.
Today, the problem has suddenly disappeared and the screen is perfect after four days with this issue. Just out of the blue - screen back to normal.
I'm guessing it was either a dodgy board connection which righted itself, or a temporary light sensor issue.
it is a hardware fault relating to the lcd. this is usually seen when the phone has been dropped. and is a broken lcd. i know its stated it wasnt dropped but that is the issue

Utter nonsense. It hasn't been dropped and it doesn't have an LCD screen. Know-it-alls spoil it for others by making unfounded comments.

Yes, that's it, if not droped, then a faulty screen, just like that, many people wish that all problems can be fixed by some trick, clever app or hidden setting, but, in true, a very little number of troubles are fixed this way, so my advice would be to take the device to an authorized samsung service center

Be nice to people trying to help you.
There is two causes to this. Software or hardware. Next time it happens try screen capture. If appears on screen shot it's software buggy. Although highly unlikely but if it does usually a reboot or factory reset solves it.
Other more likely scenario is hardware. If you used a crt tv you'll know as its the same symtom of failing picture tube.
And it's definitely not connector issue.
