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

Hi everyone!
Sad thing happend with me, 4 days ago i fell into a river and sadly ma diamond was in the pocket. I dryed it for three days, turned it on, everthing else works, besides the screen light. So i dissambeled the phone to bits and pieces, only i didn't took the LCD out(read it from somewhere that you can't put it back on afterwards so it will work). I reassambeled it and still same situation. If you look it from a angel you can see the icons and even touchscreen works. Only problem is still the backlight. So is there something i can do to make the backlight work again or i have to buy a new screen and is it hard to swap the screen ?
Hi,
Not sure if you will need to replace the screen, if you can get to the power settings you can see if the backlight has been manually turned down. If this fails and a screen replacement is required i will tell you how easy/difficult it is once i have replaced mine, due to unfortunate circumstances.
yeah, i got into the power settings, everthing is okey there like it should be , so i have to change the screen. Is there some kind on intrcutions for changing it? it would help me a lot
Well ive had my phone for a while with hyperdragon iv iolite working completely fine without any hardware or software issues for months. Today i took out the battery of the phone, and put it back in and turned it on, but when the phone turned on, the touch scrren is not responding to anything. everything works fine with all the buttons and keyboard, but the touchscreen isnt working. What could have gone wrong just by taking out the battery. I also havnt dropped or damaged the phone in anyway so i dont see it being a hardware problem. Thanks. I really need help
I have heard of people who has been able to solve this problem by hard resetting the devise. I have had not such luck....comes to be that from sliding wear and tear the connector to the screen gets damaged. My screen is completely disable, I found someone that was able to buy a second hand phone on ebay and was able to switch the connector. Looks like to much of a hassle to me, so Im sticking with this until I switch phones.
Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody would be able to maybe help me diagnose the fault\problem part with my non-working diamond...
Basically I went to a club one night and the place was unbelievably steamy / humid. My phone was working one minute and then the next it wouldnt display anything on the LCD. The backlight was working however.
Since then I havent been able to get an image on the screen although when trying to turn it on, it seems to go through its startup sequence (backlight -> vibration -> beep (i think))
I havent had any power to the phone since a day after it broke (a few weeks ago).
I'd like to get it back working again but dont know exactly what part i would need to replace. I'm fairly competent with electronics .
Any help/advite would be appreciated!
Haha, ok that's odd...
I've plugged it into my pc to get some data files off about an hour ago.. forgot about it and just looked at it now and the screen is displaying!
It is displaying and accepting input although it was flickering at first (like pixel shifting). but i pressed the power button to standby the screen and pressed it again and the display is fine with no flickering ?
Ive moved the phone about and shook it quite hard to see if there's any loose connection but the display still seems fine..
Anybody have any ideas as to what it may be?
I'm not going to deem it as fixed until I know what the problem was/is lol
cheers guys
Ok screen actually keeps flickering nonstop, and sometimes 'fades away' to gray/white/black
comes back after a few seconds though
Looks like a faulty connector?

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.
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
