Hi Guys,
I was setting up my note, had my emails in there and when I clicked on the account the screen just went black. Now I can turn it on but the screen will remain black, I can pickup calls and hear texts arriving but the screen is still black!
Anything I can do? Nothing happens when I try and load recovery mode!

You just bought it?
Sounds like a hardware issue...
Arrived 30 minutes ago It was working and now isn't
And where did you bought it?
I think flashing a new firmware won't show any result because you said you can still handle it but the screen stays black.
Expansys.com usually good! Yeh I think it must be hardware rather than software....
It's now working again??
And what have you done?
I put the protective film back on, and maybe it realised it didn't want to leave me and so started working! I'm still going to get a replacement one just in case though

Good call. I would too!
Stopped working again....
take the battery out for 5 minutes then try again
how much charge is in the battery? have you let it fully charge up?
It said 66% last time it was on. You think charging fully will sort it out?

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?
Hey dear friends
2 days ago my phone failed to the ground from top my bed and got wrecked
My phone's LCD show nothing except that a black screen with a little light
I think and I hope it's from that cable that connect contacts of LCD to main board I think it called Flat or something else.....
I disassemble it my self and I wanna to show it to a mobile service center tomorrow....
anybody have any idea about this issue?what's the problem?
Before you start considering taking it apart, try plugging into your computer first.
I know it sounds daft, but after I dropped my phone last summer, when I tried to turn it on you could see a slight change in the shade of black, yet nothing would show. (Implying that the screen was still powered in some way, but just didn't display anything)
I'd just tried to plug it in to get the data off it before sending it away after a few days of hoping it would come back on, and the screen came back on!
It might not work for you, but it's worth a shot!
Last Xperia X1 I had for repairs had black LCD after a fall. It buzzed and started up, but LCD remained black - flex needs to be replaced.

Hi,
Have not posted in here in a while but i'm having a huge problem with my HTC one M7.
Had the phone for a year now and suffered a problem with it once before. The problem before was something to do with the phone locking itself and required me sending it off to HTC to repair. It kept bootlooping and wouldn't allow me to do anything at all.
This problem hasn't occurred since repair however last week the phone was working fine until the next morning when i woke up. My girlfriend used my phone to send herself some photo's and then put the phone on charge as the battery was running low. When i woke up the screen stays black and wont allow me to do anything. If i hold the power button the bottom two lights flash and i can hear the phone booting itself back up. I have a feeling the phone works since everyday at 6:15pm my alarm goes off and i am able to deactivate the alarm by swiping up (i remember the location of the dismiss function) it would appear i'm also able to receive calls and texts since i can hear my message and ring tone going off however cannot see the screen.
I have tried a few things such as holding buttons to reboot, shining a light onto the sensor during a reboot and fully charging etc however nothing.
I should also add i have a slight hairline crack in the screen which occurred about 9 months ago but didn't appear to affect the LCD at all or the digitiser either. Any help would be highly appreciated or any tips on stuff to try.
more information available if needed.
Many Thanks
Kris

It looks like you tried all of the usual methods, sorry but it might just be the screen is shorted.

I thought as much, i have ordered a new screen and once its delivered i am gonna attempt to fit it and see what happens, thanks for the reply.
Well it looks like my Z3C is broken, power button now does absolutely nothing. I was thinking it may have been a software issue so I tried to restart the phone pressing the yellow off button next to sim card slot, it turned the phone off but now I cant restart it. I was think maybe attaching power may restart the phone but it didn't.
If anyone got any advise getting the phone started again I would really appreciate it.

The Yellow but just turns it off.
I had something similar happen, where the phone just wouldn't react to anything. Nothing would turn it on, it seemed bricked. I thought it may have been some physical damage from sleeping on it, but really I doubt that's what caused it.
This morning after not touching it for 24 hours it magically started working again. The battery was fully drained for some reason (It was at 60% just before "dying"). I have no idea what caused it and what solved it...

Mine is 100% charged so maybe if phone went completely flat the phone would reboot when charging? I phone retailer tomorrow to see what I need to do to get it fixed. I've had phone for a month now so I don't think I'm entitled to a straight replacement?
I found this on Sony Support Forum, exactly same problem as me :- https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Power-lock-button-is-not-working/m-p/858455#U858455
Update:- I rang reseller they were happy to deal with repair with Sony but advised I contact Sony directly. I rang sony went over a few things I.e. Holding power button and vol up , no joy so I've gone through repair procedure. They estimate will take 2 weeks from day I send back to repair centre.
Anyone know how long Sony will take to repair the z3c, has anyone sent one in four repair and got it back?

I saw one person that got it back after around a week
Update Fixed
Just got my phone back from Sony Service, all is fixed, pretty good turn around, just 7 days.
A couple of negatives, the phone was reset so I've had to spend hours rebuilding my settings and apps, android restore didn't restore all my apps and Sony Backup just got my txt and phone logs back.
They either changed my screen protector or disturbed it because now there's a couple of specs off dust in the middle and by ear piece the screen preotector won't sit down. I've washed the screen protector and got rid off dust but the area round the earpiece is still not adhering to the glass so I guess the screen protector is creased slightly.
Any advice on a decent screen protector?
Cheers
Hi
A month ago my screen suddenly went completely dead, the phone it self was functioning normally except the screen, \
so i posted this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-make-screen-dead-t3175115
then i decided to tear down the phone, i did and i played abit with the lcd flex cable, i got the screen to work but with very low brightness and a lot of blinking, i played a bit more with the same cable
and tried powering up the phone, the screen gone completely black again so i thought i broke the cable
i ended up buying this
www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-touch-s...ria-Z-L36h-C6603-LT36-display/1449119790.html
it arrived and i played a youtube video of the device dis-assembly and copied every step exactly, tried powering the phone up and the new screen is black!
anyone have an idea what's going on?

Maybe something not connected, or because it's aftermarket screen. There are lots of screens for sale but I don't believe they all work as good as the OEM screen.

Did you ask the seller to exchange the item? There is always a 10% chance of a black screen when buying a replacement screen.
If you tested the screen by just connecting it to the motherboard,and it didnt work,you should be able to get a replacement for free(but you will probably have to pay for the shipping when sending the broken one back)
By the way. I need to get a new screen replacement(the current one started flickering and glitching after 5 days of usage-I literally held the phone on the desk,answering calls and putting it back on the desk,so I couldn´t have damaged it),but I cant waste money. Was the package in a good state?
If anyone can recommend a cheap,but working screen(I dont care much about the 10% weaker colors,I just dont want the screen to flicker and glitch out),I would be extremely grateful.
