Hi! I have an orange xperia play I got in February this year. But because I dropped my phone a lot the housing is cracked on all sides. The screen has no issues whatsoever and the phone's still working great! But my phone is begging me to have a new housing. I checked with an SE service center in glorietta, I told them specifically that I just need the housing replaced not the screen but they insisted it comes together and it's for P6,000.00 just for the front housing + screen, the back's not included!
I need help! I've been searching all over just so I can have my Xperia Play housing replaced. not the screen, JUST THE HOUSING. please help me :crying:
Thank you in advanced!
hello
you can find housing on EBAY.
just type "housing xperia play" and enjoy !!
You can't find orange... anywhere. You are so lucky you got orange... man I want orange so bad. Lol. You can either get white or black but that's about it.

Hey guys I just dropped my X1 silver one, cracked the cover, cracked the screen.
Where can I find replacement parts? Basically the whole housing and the guys here in South Africa are smoking crack with their prices.
Please help.
Thanks
If you don't have insurance.
Try here for casing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550258
and here for LCD screen: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-LCD-...ries?hash=item3354e9a85f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Or buy a good second hand off ebay.
Ok thanks for the info.

A box fell om my T-Mobile MDA Compact V leaving a nasty gouge over the entire height of the screen.
I have been told that the only real remedy is to replace the digitizer.
Unfortunately I have found that the digitizer for the MDA Compact V is not commercialy available where as the one for the Diamond 2 is.
Can anyone tell me if the two are interchangeable? Can I replace the digitizer on my MDA Compact V with one meant for a Diamond 2?
They should be, the pure and mda compact v have the same housingg, so the digitizer will most likely work. Actually I'm nearly positive that it will work perfectly
No it wont fit, the bottom of the digitizer on the Compact V is curved, the Diamond II is flat.
I've got the same problem, the digitzer scratches way to easily. I'm looking at putting the Compact V in a Diamond II housing, I can find the housing and digitizer but cannot find the buttons anywhere.
Whoops, my mistake. I was thinking of the pure, not the regular TD2. You're right, they will not fight. The top is also a little different. And can you not get it shipped from online?
Unfortunately I cannot get it online.
The prices T-Mobile charges for repairs are insane so I contacted a number of 3rd party repair shops. None of them are able to obtain parts for the MDA Compact V.
My own searches found a supplier in china who was rumoured to have them but will not reply to my inquiries.
So for now I will just live with the scratches.
there are some replacement cases on ebay
MDA compact V digitizer replacement
Hi,
Just got my digitizer today. bought it off eBay from --link removed because of aggressive spam tactics of seller-- China.
i placed my order on 12/4/10 and with the volcano smoke it still made it very fast!
so I'm well happy!
will start replacing it now and post how it goes....
ok i have a problem:
all the guides i found where for the diamond 2 and not
t-mobile compact v(topaz100 TS). and it looks like it has a lower cover over two of the screws and i can't get it open...LOL any help and i'll even post some pics...
The two screws are accessible from front.
Beneath the buttons is a piece of plastic with the T-Mobile logo.
Pop this off and find the missing screws

Can you send me the seller by email?
I have a similar problem my screen has just a small scratch on it and now it keep on focusing I guess on that spot. So I need another screen I am afraid, or is there someone who has another idea how to fix my phone?
Looking forward to hear from you!
Is there a place where I could buy a black mask for x8 ? ( note, I don't want a external casing for protection or whatever, I want the original black phone mask with black back cover - I was impatient enough to buy a new cellphone so I rushed in and bought a white xperia x8, while I really wanted the black one )
pa sta nema nista kod nas?
Keep an eye on this thread.
Only place I've found a black housing so far is on eketshop. However! I have no idea if the site is a scam or not.
I have ordered one for myself, but it has not shipped yet. I recommend you wait and see if the shop turns out to be fake or not. I'll post in the other thread if I recieve mine. By the looks of it, the shop is either a scam or just very slow.
I really don't want anyone else to waste money if it turns out to be a bad tip.
on ebay
look here (19 usd with free shipping worldwide):
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X8-Cover-Case-Housing-Black-/110631685887?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19c2298eff
or just search "xperia x8 black cover case" on ebay.
If you pay with paypal you can make a complaint and then you get your money back. Draw from the experience of me.
Yea, found that some time ago but unfortunately they can't ship to where I am (NZ) so couldn't try it out.
black cover is almost 16$ for X6
I buy a black one cost me 22RMB,it looks no problem
argh...should've warned people on this thread too.
I did get a black housing eventually but the problem discussed in the other thread mentioned that the clear touch screen is glued to the front housing so changing it would be hard without damaging it.
I hope this helps
This must help you guys, the video of disassembly shows that the LCD can be seperated.

Thanks for that but the problem is not with the LCD assembly...
The part list in this manual indicates the 'cover front assy' comes pre-assembled with the touch screen unit (glues together) so I assume they were never designed to be taken apart.
Very useful manual though, thanks.

Hi guys.
So I've an issue .. With no SOny service centers around i rather cracked my screen, though i bought a new lcd+digitizer from ETS (etradesupply) but, as i hold it in my hand .. I've been googling my rear off, attempting to find a guide,how on earth do you actually replace the screen?
Just heat up the screen and peel it off, or will i need to lift the motherboard out, and attack it from behind so to speak?
Surely someone's done this, and can point me in the right direction .. Might i be able to just follow an Xperia Z guide on the matter?
Did you manage to repair it. I have just cracked mine above the ear piece, is the digitizer and lcd hard to separate? any advice before I order the new digitizer?
Anyone succeed to separate digitizer?
Hey,
My Xperia Z cracked while laying on my bed. I've read all the topics about the design flow, is it worth to try and get the phone repaired under warranty in Australia? The glass isn't cracked, only the digitizer(lcd looks fine).
Otherwise, has anyone tried screen assembly with frame kit? There are some on ebay from china but the pictures don't really show the quality of the frame so I'm wondering if it's any good.
What about adhevise, what should I use to keep the parts together? Probably I can forget about waterproofness?
Thanks in advance

I believe the digitizer and lcd are fused together and cannot be replaced independently of each other.
This is very common with new phone as it helps keep the display assembly thinner and improves the IQ of the screen.
You have to buy an entire display assembly and replace the whole thing.
Here is one...

Called Sony Au today, they told me that they charge 40 aud for examination of the phone and u have to send the phone to Sydney. Told me that they have never repaired cracked screen in sony xperia z under the warranty and the cost is bit under 500..haha. I used to love sony but not anymore!

happened to me but I dropped my phone instead. My digitizer got damaged but my LCD works fine. I had it replaced with one a replacement front panel. Sony was going to charge me HK$2,100. I got mine replaced for HK$1,200.
