Well back in February i smashed the screen on my vivd. Still wokred just a smashed screen, at that point i put it in the drawer and moved on. Well i just broke it out agian today and plugged it into my PC and now i only have backlight (no real screen) and the LED indicator is lit orange. My PC loaded the drivers fine, but ive never seen this. It worked after the drop (and used it a bit after as well) but never did the screen totally die.
Im assuming the phone is still alive, but do you think its anything more then a screen replacement? With the touch panel on the bottom im hesitant about replacing the screen myself, i think radioshack does screen fairly cheap. Thoughts?? Dead? Restorable?

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
About a month ago I got my Kaiser screen replaced as it was broken, now all of a sudden the screen is all whitish and I can hardly ready whats on it!
Is the screen broken again??
I'm fixing to replace the screen in a Kaiser i bought used with a broken screen. From the reading i've done, it sounds like one of the cables to the screen is loose. Trying pressing on the middle of your keyboard and see if anything happens. The big ribbon cable has a connector there.
hmmmm coming to think of it when I pressed the middle of the screen it used to do some funny effect (like when you press your TFT monitor) but now nothing happens!
Is your screen something like this?

last night i was woken up by a text, i looked at my phone and all of a sudden the screen went crazy. Started scrolling up and down (like a bad signal/wrong format ntsc/pal on a tv). Everything got all messed up and lines and dashes all over, kinda like your screen, it started acting wierder when i began applying pressure on the top of the device by the earpiece and d-pad. So i soft-reset the device and it was still doing it while boot up, leading me to believe it wasn't a software issue.
So in my half awake state i just left it on my nightstand. I woke up and its perfectly fine now, even when i press all around the screen.. wierd huh?
I didn't notice anything like you descriped, touch screen and everything else worked like before. Only the colors were like on the picture. Tried hard reseting but didn't help. Phone is still under warranty so sent it to be repaired, i can post what they did when i get it back.
Thanks jrask. Thats exactly how it looks.
I think i have some bad news for you, the screen was damaged and needed to be replaced. I think it was cracked under the frame.
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.

did this problem ever come back?
last night my x1s screen was going all fuzzy like different colours and cut out a few times. now today notthing. the screen is blank. backlight comes on i think. the phone starts up normal as i can hear the start up sound and i can accept calls. i think this is failure of the felx cable. Is this true? and if so is i worth get on and fiting it myself or going to a repair shop. im on the cheap here so any fix will do.

I have had the second part of your problem before where screen doesn't come on but the back light and everything else works. A couple of months back when I was at college I dropped my phone really hard at a party( I was wasted ) and the next morning the screen wouldn't come on. So what I did was I looked up the guide to how take the X1i apart and luckily one of my buddies had the same screwdrivers that I needed because he uses it on his the Blackberry Storm 2. So what I did was went to where the Flex ribbon cable was located unattached it, then reattached it, and put my phone back together and the screen came back on and still works to this day. If this helps press thanks.

So my Screen broke and I bought a new one so I could replace it, the touch screen/digitizer didn't break though... at first the colors just started washing and fading untill the screen ended up completely dark, I could still use the touch screen and feel when I would unlock it, after a day the phone would not give me any feed back by vibrating or turning the orange light while charging, so I dismantled it using some tips from these videos:

After I put everything back together the phone is giving me feedback again and I can notice its charging because of the orange light, but the screen won't turn on. Does any one know if I might need to do something on the software side? like needing to re install anything? or do you think I just got a bad screen?
Update: I just took it apart again and reconnected the ribbons, its back together and the screen still won't turn on.
You have the AMOLED screen and not the LCD?
Did you compare the #'s on the old and new to see you got the right part?
Cables are the same, they look the same, part # and stickers are different...
What are the part numbers on your new and old screen? I just went through the same thing, but I'm fairly sure I got the wrong screen replacement. Will have to look more into it later tonight.
My screen wont turn on at all. I was so excited to get my N1 back in action as well.
