Greetings,
After falling in my pool with N7000 and Bluetooth headset in tow, I revived my Note, with heaters and rice immersion, to the point that only the back camera and LED are fully and completely dead. Every other aspect I can test seems to be just fine.
Besides mourning the dead . . . I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for repair or replacement of the camera and LED.
And to all who have helped others like myself, I thank you for all you have done to help us out. I've benefited many times by reading and following your suggestions.
PS. Yeah, the BT headset is DOA too. New one on order.
Your camera needs to be replaced and i guess u cant get it under warranty
My friend got the same problem and his phone got totally dead and when he took it to the SSC,they easily found out that it fell in water and said that it cant be covered under warranty.You are lucky that just your camera got dead
you do get these parts easily on websites like ebay and amazon.. so if you like you can do it yourself by watching some videos on youtube... loads are there

hello all
I've been in Suriname the past three weeks for vacation
but when I took my flight, direction of Suriname, I was in a plane wich was very cold by the air conditioner
in the plane all, the time I was busy with my phone ..
On arrival you will be beaten by a heat wave.
I still had my phone in my hand, once off the plane I wanted to turn off airplane mode phone
but when I looked at the device, there is a crack under the screen ..
I have'nt bumped the device to anything get that crack. so my only thought is that the device came across large temperature differences and thus came to be a crack created under the touchscreen ...
I could not find answers to XDA nor on google because I do not know what that thing is the under the touchscreen
plus I ain't very technical with cellphones so don't say that i need to buy a digitizer and lcd from ebay and pull this of that off cut this solder that...
I'm going to try to make a picture of what so far not succeeded because my camera now shows his cures
but it was a great holiday but it costs my phone and maybe even my camera ..
Can anyone tell me what to do i still do have my warranty and all the factures
but will this be covered?
should I call HTC or not if so then someone needs to help me out getting the device all to stock
please help me out here i'm going on vacation in about 2 months and I need this phone with me!
Flash the ROM that came loaded on your phone from the SD card and it should restore your original SPL . You can always check by entering the bootloader to be sure...
Hi all
quite some time ago I killed a good 20% of my digitizer - bottom right corner where on screen keyboard is grrr.
Being in NZ I had a hard time finding anyone that would repair it for a reasonable cost etc. This phone is not native to NZ - parallel import.
Fired an e-mail back to a local supplier to touch base on an old quote and almost fell off my chair to find they had a spare screen/digitizer/keyboard/slider etc "second hand" for $90 NZD.
BOOM jumped on that, parts arrived I swear they are brand new !
Took it apart following a video guide, 60mins or so later she is as good as new
Like really new, never realised just how worn my keyboard was :/
WOHU
If anyone needs help with such things be sure to ask I can help where possible

I wonder if you can point me to the link that instruct me to replace the cracked screen of my D3 Global with a new screen. The screen was cracked but the phone functions well and it can display well all the icons I have in the phone. Much appreciate!!

How about this: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-3/530813-motorola-droid-3-screen-repair-guide.html
Congrats!! My D3 took a nosedive onto the concrete a few weeks back, scared the crap out of me... I thought for sure I'd busted my screen, but these phones are built like tanks.
nice to hear others have succeeded with repairs
apologies for no response, thought I was to be notified of replies :/ apparently not!
Hi all just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this happening before. I got the XZ on the day of release and yesterday when I took it off charge i noticed a crack in the LCD. The phone has no physical damage whatsoever, no cracked glass or chip or anything, its in new condition. I'm particularly careful with my phone and do not recall it ever being dropped or misused. Any advice?
Sorry i am unallowed to post a link so i have attached a photo

Thanks
Never heard of an cracked LCD on the XZ ? but mine and some other people having a spontaneously cracked glass. Als got the XZ on the day of release (Netherlands) So welcome to the club. Feel sorry for you too. Lets get united to get our point at SONY.
facebook - XperiaZScreenIssueCommunity - hope this helps ones there are a lot of participants evolved to make a statement.
mine just cracked now , just like that very wierd
and at the same place actually , gonna take it to service center tomorrow hope they dont charge a fortune for it..
just returning from service center defnitely not happy , for a small crack caused by heat they are saying I need to pay 650$ to replace screen , very shocking and unreasonable. I have escalated to the SONY customer support and they should contact me back today or monday.. guys anyone else had this problem ?

Took 3 weeks but Sony did fix it, i mentioned several times the phone was subject to no physical damage, tbh i didnt have to put up much of a fight it just took a lifetime to get my phone back. Its like brand new again.
Hope you get yours sorted.

Hello, you can find guides on how to open your z1 on YouTube and Google, however I would not risk it and open it my self
Hmmm, I need to do it myself because repair shops here they do that for like 50 Bucks, and the piece is only 10 bucks, so I'm saving much money, but risking my phone too :/
I'm a 17 years kid with no money haha, not working yet, that's because I didn't send it to the repair shop.
No body? :'(
I sent mine to Sony Service centre here in Singapore. My warranty covered it so it's free (despite having the liquid detector thing red). However it took me 4 and a half weeks for them to repair a freaking power button

Don't worry, I know your troubles, im 14 and i'd repair my phone myself, im kind of like the risk it or always have it broken, i've taken computers apart before and back together but different from a phone since there's tinier screws more tiny parts and risk of breaking tiny little things lol, I should stop there since im probably scaring you, I would fix my z1 myself but then i wouldn't put it back in water because i wouldn't be sure if my phone lost it's tight seal ability or not, but first i'd watch lots of take apart videos for the z1, also have a computer next to you so you can review the steps, one thing i know for sure is you need a heat gun of some sort to take the back off, then from there more taking apart
Recently i bought the Sony Xperia Z4.. as you guys know it has a good perferences as i thought..
The thing is after about 2 months i thought about trying the waterproof function which sony company assumed that the device supports.. so i turned it off, washed it under fresh clean water for about 20 sec., dryed it out then i turned it on.. and guess what !! My half screen went black, the screen lights begin to go low.. so i turned it off and dryed it even more and left it away for some time then i switched it on once again and the screen lights were obviously not working anymore !! I could hardly see that it was actually on !! I turned off once again and left it for a while and now when i turn on (using the power on button and the volume button) it vibrates three times the the screen lighta goes crazy !!! On and off over and over then it goes dark and onfe again i can hardly see the screen.. but looks like there is water under the surface.. and it seems like the touch isn't workin i still dont know !!
What can i do ?? Can you guys please help ??
Im sorry for making it such a long story but i really feel bad about it..
Dude, that device of yours is still under warranty. Go and claim the warranty from your phone retailer..

Thanks for your respond man but the thing is 1st. I bought it without a warranty because we don't have a sony support here where i live.. 2nd. Even if i bought it from any phone shop with a warranty it's just means nothing here where i live xD they will just tell you it is your fault anyway.. so the warranty means nothing.. 3rd. I did a little research about it and guess what ?! The warranty is void if it was watter damaged !! That what sony company said..
I put it in the rice since y.day still didn't switch it on.. i don't know what to do, im afraid if i opened the back cover something wrong would happen and it will be even worse.. cuz im thinkin about moving the battery and drying it with the hair dryer and the vacum but im still afraid to do so..:crying:
Fact of the matter is my phone was waterdamaged 3 weeks ago on vacation. I came back to the shop which firstly refused me, but they will do this for customers who dont know stuff. What you need to do is state your case and since they know the phone is waterproof by certification they are obliged to help you. Basically you are forcing their hand at this point. Many shops will try to bull**** you but as soon as you wave around the fact that the phone is IP classed to hold in water to 1.5m then they will grant you a checkup and ultimately if you are found right in your complaints then you will get a new one.
I know cuz I did this and got my phone back 2 days ago.

Well, mateer of a fact i contacted Sony Support by E-mail and they said that they were sorry and that should noy happened and they were surprised !! :silly: oh my !!
I laughed my A** out.. they said i should take it to Service Center but as long as they don't have a Service Center in my country they offered other countries
Hell yeah !! I will fly to another cojntry just to get my phone fixed ?!??! Can anybody believe this !! And sure they asked me for the IMEI..
The shop said he sold it without a warranty and he is not responssible cuz it's Sony Co. Fault not his..
I guess im Screwed..

:good: thanks dude..
Actually i did that since 2 days ago and it's still there..
Well, let's get to the fact.. the phone can get switched on now, the screen lights aint blinking but..
The screen is a bit grey, the touch buttons down the screen isn't working, there is water under the surface all around and sometimes it goes crazy and starts touching it self
So i turned it off and shoved it back into the rice..
Hope it works :crying:
